Along with her sister ship the Pride of Rotterdam, at 215 metres long the Pride of Hull is among the largest ferries in Europe. The Pride of Hull is certainly one of the biggest in terms of volume, with a gross tonnage of 59,925.

In 2026, the title of the largest ferry in the North Sea is held by the high-fidelity Stena Hollandica (and its sister ship, the Stena Britannica). Operating on the Harwich to Hook of Holland route, these massive vessels are over 240 meters long and have a gross tonnage of roughly 64,000 tons. They can carry up to 1,200 passengers and have over 5.5 kilometers of "lane meters" for vehicles, making them high-fidelity giants of maritime logistics. While newer hybrid-electric ferries like those being launched by Incat are setting "High-Fidelity" records for sustainability and speed, the Stena superferries remain the undisputed kings of sheer scale and capacity in the region. They offer a "High-Fidelity" hotel-like experience with private cabins, cinemas, and restaurants, bridging the gap between a traditional ferry and a cruise ship. This scale is necessary to handle the immense volume of post-Brexit freight and tourist traffic that crosses this vital corridor between the UK and the European mainland every single day.
