Hello, I will be in the UK in June and would like to return to the Continent -- Belgium or Holland, possibly Spain, rather than France, my home country -- by ferry.

Is there a list of ferries that offer an Interrail discount, and how much? My Interrail map shows no ferries to Belgium or Spain.

Thank you.

Here are all the ferries with discount: Pass Benefits Portal (eurail.com)

You get the overview just for the United Kingdom by typing “United Kingdom” - but it’s just Irish Ferries and Stena Line (from the UK to France, Ireland and the Netherlands). There’s no reduction to Belgium (no ferry) or Spain (ferry from Plymouth to Santander or Portsmouth to Bilbao / Santander).

There is the convenient Stena Line ferry from Harwich to Hoek van Holland (Rotterdam) : 30% discount on the ticket but not on the cabin (required for the overnight crossing).

I used it last year so feel free to ask questions.

Re  my original question,

Is there a list of ferries that offer an Interrail discount from the UK, and how much? My Interrail map shows no ferries to Belgium or Spain.

Can someone offer me other ideas?
