    For the above you'd be best off just getting a train to either Brussels or Amsterdam.

    Superfast Ferries and DFDS do mini cruises.
    Yes, I know they technically are car ferries but they are quite luxurious compared to the channel crossers and have lots of facilities.
    Ive done an article on my site about cheap cruises, including easycruise BTW
