"Facilities are fine, information lacking"

There is insufficient information regarding the time of opening the terminus and then the timing through to boarding the ship. There is no information to allow planning of snacks, toilet breaks etc. we waited outside the gates until 6:30 (OK,but it would have been nice to know) and after checking in we moved to another barrier where we waited over an hour until allowed to board the vessel (not acceptable to not know the duration - could not leave the car for fear of blocking the queu behind.). Inside the ferry all was fine. There was then no information regarding the time that the wake up call would be given. At 5:30 am (one hour before disembarkation) the wake up call came. We visited the cafeteria for a quick coffee and a bun, but were then called to the car deck 4 just a few minutes after the call saying last breakfasts were being served, only to carry the coffee down the stairs to the car, where we waited another hour before leaving the vessel. It is apparent that there is insufficient information given here to enable planning for embarkation and disembarkation by passengers. Finally the plan of the ship was A5 size and the text was illegible. The plans are in A4 and those useful on the Gothenburg Kiel leg. All in all the Harwich / Hook of Holland service is considerably poor versus the Gothenburg-skirl service

Staff very professional and facilities comfortable. I took a night ferry, the weather was windy so we arrived an hour late. This wasnt a,problem but having woken early for breakfast i was peeved to find the restaurant wasnt open for an hour due to the late arrival. I might have missed an announcement but the notice on the restaurant hadnt been changed to inform passengers.

"Great experience "

I jave to say it was a great experience. The staff at the port were all super friendly and warm. The boat was immac, the food was decent enough, but the crew on board were the best. Friendly, helpful, and created an atmosphere of welcome. All this on a car ferry I know seems a bit over the top but, a smile costs nothing but is priceless.

"Pleasant experience "

What I enjoy the most about the trip was the 2 berth standard cabin, it was very spacious, clean with 2 beds and private bathroom/shower. The ferry was also punctual, border control was fast and efficient. The few minus points: - Main course served on board was bland, accept for the cakes. We prepare food ourselves on the return trip. - It is a small ferry so you might be a bit sea sick

I'm diabetic and needed to get something in the middle of the night, but the help desk was empty. Luckily for me and another diabetic who had the same problem there were some packs of sugar for drinks, but no drinks! I had to eat white sugar. There should always be someone on the help desk.

"Relaxing way to travel "

Used Stena line for return journey from the Hook of Holland. Chose the overnight option for the first time, including a cabin and we all really enjoyed the experience. The cabin was clean and comfy. We loved seeing all the lights of the port and ships as we left the Hook. Then in the morning, we awoke to views of the countryside near Harwich.

"Relaxing trip"

I enjoy my travels with you. I always book a cabin to be able to sleep and a place to leave my things when having a wander. One of the suggestions I have is to show UK time and European time on board. As most of our time pieces are WiFi controlled, you are never sure when they’ve adjusted. Another would be to have free drinking water available. I took some with me, but could only find bottles in the restaurant, which I found rather expensive and most of the food was fatty food. I still like travelling with Stena, will just be better prepared next time.

Worst company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. No customer service, now no telephone service at all. Message on answering machine says free to change on website, but charged 75.00 anyway to change sailing due to coved. Now can’t make return boat and can’t contact by phone so lost money.

"Administration "

Direct Ferries are an absolute disgrace to the travel industry, gives the impression that the operations are run from someone's front room. Conveniently unavailable during any crisis, will never be used again by myself or anyone I know who wants to visit Europe. Can't fault Stenna line, they undid the mess made by Direct Ferries and didn't sting me for more money. At one stage Direct Line wanted £170 administrative fees !!!

"Nice ship!"

Seemed to be plenty of room on the car decks, however the off ramp was rather abrupt angle for low car and grounded very easily. Not enough room in the 'special' seating area, was all fully booked so couldn't access this. Other lounge seats were not the best for comfort, over a very long crossing and not enough choices other than to get a cabin (at a fairly high cost for a day crossing) if you want somewhere comfortable! Outbound journey left about 45 late but seemed to make up time, inbound was reasonably on time , but experienced long delays in unloading once in port. Not a lot to do onboard, unless you want to watch a movie for a couple of hours.

On the first trip out everything was great, but on the return there were a few issues. The toilets were not kept as clean, despite being asked not to sleep on the sofas and benches people still did, staff were non smiling in the cafeteria and the restaurant was closed!

"Brilliant crossing "

We travelled from Harwich to Holland (and returned) as a party of seven. The efficiency of the whole operation was apparent and we thoroughly enjoyed this part of our journey. We will definitely do it again. We booked cabins to enjoy some quiet time and additional comfort when we were not exploring the boat or enjoying a meal or a game of cards. The only complaint was the walls etc of the cabin etc were pretty grim. Possibly bodily fluids or spilt found/drink unfortunately detracted from the enjoyment of the cabin in our return journey. The linen was perfectly clean but it’s a shame they seem to neglect the overall space.

This company are quite unhelpful. Phone number doesn’t work, can’t speak to an actual person the number just dies. When you try to manage your booking online it always says error which is infuriating. So when I finally got round to adjusting my journeys they cancelled my outward cabin and then gave me two single cabins coming home which is bizarre! Lucky for us stenaline on board we’re very helpful and I will always be booking directly through them for future bookings.

We booked a pet friendly cabin via Direct Ferries, which we were surprised to find as the Stena Line site did not have any availability. When we arrived and checked in we found that what we had actually booked was a cabin and a kennel crossing for our dog. We had no choice but to go ahead with the journey but this was absolutely not what we had wanted. Direct Lines booking process was at best unclear and misleading. Having said that I could not fault Stena Line themselves. The issue is with Direct Ferries.

"First time with Stena Line"

Overall it was okay. Very punctual and the staff on board very friendly and helpful We ate in the Taste restaurant - the choice of food was acceptable but would be better if it was warm. Cold chips are not the best lol 😆 The size of the meal though was good though and also that you could help yourself to mayonnaise and ketchup. It was very relaxed leaving the boat the desk day and the crossing was very smooth 😌

"Not again in a while"

Service has worsen compared to the last year. Nice we were allowed earlier to get on board but it was late, we were kicked out of the cabin 45 minutes before arrival. Spent over an hour on deck waiting to leave the ferry inhaling carbon dioxide. Then another hour or more waiting to go through border check in. Generally quite dissapointing experience.

I made a mistake with our booking and needed to correct it urgently. You cannot call and emails take at least 5 days to respond to.Treated terribly by the agent and had no response from several complaints Don't bother using Direct Ferries, book with Stena direct.

"Good Trip"

Good trip both ways arriving on time. Cabin is essential for travelling with children just so they have a space to move around. Meals are reasonable 30EURO for 2 adults and 2 kids meals. Times for meals are restricted so you should check when they are serving with the restaurant staff when you get on the ship. Quick departure off the ship.

"A bit shocked"

After my first booked vehicle broke down I had to change vehicles from a big van to a suv which obviously is smaller. I booked with flexi in case something goes wrong. Knowing this I made the phone call quite relaxed until the lady on the phone told me I have to pay 140 quid because car space is more expensive.......... I was shocked because I thought smaller vehicle not a problem just swap registration and that's it. I was very disappointed about that but other than that as always an enjoyable journey.

"Ferry"

A long boring trip with very little to do on board other than spend money but even the shopping is limited. From sitting in the van to getting through our new border controls took 55 minutes in UK a breeze of under 5 minutes in Holland, with a 4 hour drive ahead of us that was an unacceptable welcome home, illegal immigrants treated better! Boat was clean and presentable in a ferry type way, but not much improved since the 70’s over all.

"Great trip, highly recommend but a few things to work on"

In general it was a very easy, relaxing and pleasant journey to the Netherlands, with few drawbacks. During the check in process there’s no need to make passengers leave their seats in the waiting room until there’s a security team ready to chest their bags. Not great can queuing up twice at that time of day. It’s crazy. Old people, children etc. Let them stay seated and then call them up row by row or something. Only one team working on security checks so obviously that’s going to take time. No one wants to queue twice. Onboard was fun, clean etc. The basketball court was fun. Would be good to know about carbon footprint on average per passenger compared to, say, train or air travel. Also would be good to know about what Stena Line is doing for the environment. Sea water, foil slick and foam etc at Harwich looked bad. So did the exhaust fumes. Free drinking water on board should be mandatory. Drinks are pricey. Cabin was excellent and pretty good value. Fresh juices and better salads and vege options at lunch would have been nicer than so much meat! And the sate was terrible! Lastly - better signage for the metro station at Hook of Holland. The one ticket machine for RTM services is a bit confusing - we only found out the hard way that those tix don’t work on the buses. Signage for buses was also bad. Customer services were very helpful but a few more signs, clearer instructions for onward travel would be really helpful. Thanks!

"Overnight Ferry Harwich to Hook of Holland"

Having grown tired of the nightmare that Dover Calais crossings have become, this year we decide to go overnight between HArwich and Hook of Holland. The crossing is more expensive but we saved on the cost of two hotel stays to break the journey so it worked out about even costwise. We enjoyed a clean compact cabin with ensuite and the crossing took hours of the driving time, definately recommended.

"Love the comfort room!!"

I wasn't looking forward to the 9hr journey on a ferry, so we booked a comfort room to try and get some sleep. I have to say, the room was stunning, had a fridge, hairdryer, fab shower etc. They don't have specific shampoo and conditioner though, just general 'shower gel' - which is fine, but not with my hair 🙂 As previously stated on other reviews, there was only one of everything in the fridge, but that didn't bother us too much - I'd took some tea bags and milk to the room from our camper!! Sleep wise, the bed was so comfy that it easy to sleep through the night, so we woke up as we docked into Harwich! As the trucks all went off first, we had time to get ready and have a cuppa. The 'alarm' was fed through the cabins, and started with birds tweeting and an announcement - so you needn't worry about oversleeping. They serve full and continental breakfast, and the food is very reasonably priced! All in all, would 100% recommend, but with a comfort cabin!!

"Ferry is the best"

In this age of flight anxiety and blocked ports to Calais, a gentle and relaxing trip can be had from Harwich if travelling to or through Europe. For us it was a perfect route to the German Baltic coast, affording us a good night's sleep on the overnight ferry, before the long drives either side of the channel. Check in was swift, the cabin spacious enough for 2 with good shower and toilet facilities. Highly recommended for a lazy trip abroad with none of the fuss.

Went too and from the Netherlands on the same boat for a holiday postponed by 2 years. Going out on the full night boat we had a satisfactory cabin and complementary dinner. Very little choice. No glasses in cabin.. " due to covid" ... Very unhelpful staff member at customer care. Asked about breakfast details.. " don't know" .. could have explained details were on a card in the cabin! Instead thought he was being funny. Very rude. On the day boat back. Had Captain s cabin, fantastic... Including lots of glasses! Also much better meal for a 6 euro upgrade in the waiter serviced restaurant.. with wonderful staff who couldn't do enough to be helpful. Less learnt. Maybe the dayboat is better.

"Relaxing"

Coming from the Netherlands I prefer going with Stena Line from Hook of Holland to England above using the shorter sea crossing from Calais. This is more relaxing, because less driving time.

"Could be better "

Our outbound experience was perfect. The return journey was not. The staff were rude, especially guest services and the barista coffee shop. I was charged over 38 Euros for 2 bottles of water, 2 fish and chips, that were lukewarm and 2 apple pies, I should have questioned this, but was too stressed, due to children running riot around the restaurant area unsupervised. Until departure, there was no policing of the mask policy by staff. At departure, a four ringed officer, was rude and condescending. His attitude was not one of passenger courtesy, I am surprised he didn’t end up getting punched. He finished his rant by saying the he was the one that would make sure the mask policy was fully adhered to. He did this standing next to 2 passengers in his immediate vicinity, one not wearing a mask and one with the mask not covering his nose. It was like that throughout the crossing. Your safety briefing is an absolute waste of time. The female voice is not understandable and definitely not commanding. I am sure 99% of passengers did not know what to do for seven short and one long. Overall the return journey was a bad experience.

"Harwich to Hook of Holland 2nd January 2022"

Being very concerned about whether I had the correct paperwork I arrived very early leaving plenty of time to correct problems. Being that early allowed everything to be checked and I was offered an earlier sailing with a mandatory cabin for this nighttime sailing. The marshaling and processing of the cars, vans & motorhomes was very efficient with onshore staff being very pleasant and cheerful in a most helpful way. The ship, Stena Brittanica was clean, well signed, and very comfortable and in the morning the breakfast was had a very wide choice of welcome food in a clean well kept dining area. This has been a most welcome experience and one which avoids France perfectly. Thank you, Stena Line and a happy New Year to all.

"A great way to travel to Holland "

Just returned from a few days visiting our daughter in Holland Took the Stena Line ferry from Harwich to Hook of Holland and returned Boarding was no problem at all and the facilities on board were fantastic. We booked a room which had an outside view and the 8 hr journey went by really quick Slight delay when entering Netherlands Border control but only because of the heighten Covid checks If you are looking for a relaxing trip to Holland this is the best way

"Christmas trip to the Netherlands"

Great ship and staff. Excellent cabin even for basic inside 2-berth. Check in and immigration controls in UK and NL were both rather slow and there was no queue management so felt a bit unfair when some lanes went fast than others. Also disappointed that you had to pay for wifi on the Hollandica on the NL>UK leg when it was free on the Britannica on the UK>NL leg. Overall though very good. Well done Stena!

"Covid"

Unfortunately on the day of travel there was a marked concern with COVID 19. Germany and Holland have increased in cases. Literally hours before departure we decided, sadly it was to risky to make the trip. We would not have been able to quarantine or lockdown in any country we visited. We have not had a holiday in 6 years so it was not a decision we made lightly.

"Covid 19"

Even though the trip from Holland there was no problems with mask or the vaccine paperwork.. I was fully jabbed and also did pcr test in uk on the second day. I took a negitive test for uk Gov before setting off for Holland. Once at the port I told the lady I was vaccinated and except with a work permit I work in Germany also did not stop in Holland. I was sent to the van in the car park and payed 65 british pounds for a test I knew would be negitive. I resent paying this money and feel conned..the uk Goverment was supposed to make the price of travel cheaper.. If it was stena policy to have a pcr test it should have been cheaper and in the price of the ticket. Not a happy bunny. My sailing experience however was a good one.

"An excellent service!"

I just sailed from HoH to Harwich and was impressed on every level. All aspects of the journey exceeded my expectations. The food and cabin were excellent and the crew were extremely pleasant and accommodating but most importantly of all was the attention to safety with regards to COVID-19. I had my hands sprayed on boarding and on entering the restaurant and everywhere one looked there were a large number of crew members doing nothing but wiping down surfaces and generally disinfecting. An admirable operation which I look forward to experiencing again.

"Pleasant experience "

Pleasant crossing. The lounge ares was not open so not anywhere to relax apart from table an chairs area. This was obviously because of infection control due to the Coronavirus , and it was good to know that precautions were made. However , I think the lounge area is an important area for travellers who want to travel so I think the seating areas could have been switched around, and the table and chairs areas outside the restaurants closed off instead . The use of hand sanitiser was available and it was evident that Stenna was doing all they could to prevent the spread of infection .

"Slightly Grasping"

The trip was a bit choppy, but that isn't surprising given the weather. The cabin was clean and functional. The staff were unfailingly helpful and polite. The food options for supper were unapetising, so I didn't buy any. The breakfast was greasy and the orange juice from the dispensers was sickenly sweet. My biggest complaint was the wifi being expensive, awkward, and stingy. I purhcased the option for wifi for the entire voyage, but because I embarked a couple of hours prior to departure the ticket had expired and I had no internet in the morning. Seeing as the ship was already in port and presumably had access to ground-based internet, this felt stingy and grasping. Making the wifi token cover the whole trip when it is described as lasting for the whole trip might help. Overall there are lots of little extras where simliar industries don't charge, and it feels as though one had to be on ones' guard against unnecessary expenditures. I get why ferries are the third choice for crossing the channel, I just feel more could be done to fight that.

"Excellent experience on the whole"

This was an excellent crossing on a superb ferry - very steady comfortable and far superior to most other ferries that I have used. Staff were most helpful and a credit to Stena. The facilities were excellent, clean toilets/washrooms and excellent dining services. Embarkation and disembarkation were efficient, fast and orderly. My only complaint is about the food and catering. In itself it was good, food hot, and excellent service - but it was bland, and seemed as though it was fresh from the can or microwave. Not the best value for money. A small cup of coffee at €2.90 and a 'normal' cup at €3.90 was ridiculously overpriced for what I got. Shame, really, as beer or cider was comparatively much cheaper - not good for drivers?

Had a curry on the way out which was nice. Only complaint was the cost of bottled drinks in the cafeteria 4.30 euros for a bottle of ice tea and no tap water available a shame to take advantage of a captive audience especially if there is family of five.

"A first trip on the Hook of Holland to Harwich ferry"

We decided to try the routing from Hook of Holland to Harwich for the first time and overall, it was a real pleasure and we also returned to Europe on the same route. We booked the flexible ticket which included access to the Stena lounge as we needed to be able to change the dates if we had to. The lounge was full but the passenger section of the boat was almost empty. We only stayed a short while in the lounge as the facilities were better in the main part of the boat. It would also be more pleasant if mobile phones could be banned from the lounge as there were some very disturbing moments in there. On our return trip, many of the items shown in the self-service restaurant were not available, which was rather disappointing. However, we would probably use this route again, but we would not pay extra for the lounge.

"Cruising"

We had a very gentle and relaxing crossing from Harwich to Hook of Holland on probably the nicest ferry. The staff were helpful, the boat was spotless and the facilities were excellent. It didn’t feel like we were on there for seven hours! It helped that we paid for the premium lounge however the lounge on the Irish crossing we did at Christmas had a better lounge. The only things that were missing is more food available in the lounge and the Wi Fi should have been free and much much faster. That said, we had a pleasant crossing.

never been on a ferry before, usually travel by planes but this time I had to take the wee dog across the Europe so we have chosen Stena Line and we don't regret. after driving 450 miles there is nothing better than having your own cabin with the toilet 🚽and the shower 🚿. rooms are well silenced so you can't hear much from the corridor or your neighbour's TV 📺 very kind and talkative bar tenders where I have spent some time as well good facilities, cinema, restaurant, lounge area with the big TV, kids play area, couple of arcade machines as well. I was worried about 7 hours boring trip but actually I would recommend it and I would do it again

There is a lot of entertainment on the ship, time flies nicely as there are facilities to do your own stuff (watch stuff on your own device, listen to music, read a book, enjoy the view) but also there is a cinema, casino, restaurants and bars, etc. Food-wise I did not see much choice for vegans so on my way back I brought my own food. Toilets were overall clean however the restaurant and bars area was not that clean and tidy at some point late in the journey. I would strongly recommend considering a quiet area that is indeed quiet. There were babies, kids, and adults on a few drinks everywhere so peace and quiet would have been possible in a private cabin only I believe.

"Watch out for "Premium Parking" - it doesn't exist! "

Stena Line is great. Direct Ferries not so much! During my phone booking I was upsold "Premium Parking" which I was told would allow me on to the ship earlier and at the front, this is a lie. The service doesn't exist, its purely a first come first serve process at the port. I have already had a huge headache with the customer service team who in my opinion need some training in basic customer service, hugely disappointed. I won't be booking via Direct Ferries again, my advice is to either book directly with Stenaline or drive the extra miles to Calais.

"Rude Restaurant manager"

We were charged 22 euros for a very poor breakfast - I questioned why the fruit selection was so low - there was only melon and cut up oranges - normally full spread - clearly the kitchen couldn’t be bothered to cut anymore fruit. The restaurant manager snapped at me - what do you want? What I didn’t want is that attitude first thing in the morning - and told him to forget it - he started say I was moaning and acted in a racist manner by saying bloody British under his breath. The manager came and the restaurant manager started spouting how he had witnesses - he then continued to try to initmidate by strutting around discussing the issue with his staff. Terrible behavior.

Normally I fly budget, so my experiences on boats are really a comparison to this. Lets be honest, boats are slow. Saline is a pretty viscous solvent and fluid dynamics are a harsh mistress. Pushing a small floating metallic town through any liquid would take a while, especially if the aim is for everyone to survive the experience. A one hour flight to Amsterdam becomes a 7 hour investement. Are there advantages? There are. Let us consider them. You are probably reading this because you have a mortal fear of flying, or because (like me) you love you car. Possibly too much. You may also be thinking of moving copious amounts of stuff from one country to another. The good news is that fluid dynamics work in your favour here. Bouyancy in particular: your baggage is weightless on the high sea. Almost no extra fuel is burned by how much junk you bring. So your allowance is limited only by your imagination, the amount of stuff you have, plus the carrying capacity of your beloved vehicle. Usually I book a cabin because the relative cost is very small relative to the sanctuary they impart upon the weary traveller. The ability to finely control exposure to communal spaces and your fellow man is glorious. While having your own shower and porcelain express leaves you feeling like a royal, mastering your own climate with the air conditioning makes you truly feel like a God. Free WiFi is a bit bleh but at least its there. And free. I am a scientist, so too poor to use the paid internet so no comment on that. There is also something pretty humbing about driving your onto a boat alongside massive cargo trucks. Emasculating some might say, as your pride and joy becomes plankton in a sea of axels. Quite a fascinating glimpse into infrastructure, logistics and the real economy if you ask me. Sometimes I think customs is a pretty cool job, just snooping around shipping containers all day, looking at the weird stuff humans spend their money on. Not sure why, but I find ferry passengers are just chilled and nice to be around. I think most people stay pretty reasonable while their density stays below a certain threshold. Finally, I love how truckers have VIP status and basically get their own private deck. Presumably this is to minimize their exposure to civilians like me. A shame though, because I would not mind hanging out with them to be honest. They probably have nice stories or annecdotes about machines and life on the road. Reminiscing about fuel prices, epic traffic jams, their favourite junctions, etc. Especially I like seeing the massive Dutch guys and marvelling at their bigness. Honestly after living there for 9 years I never fully got used to how tall the Dutch can get. Apparently its their dairy consumption, but I find it hard to believe there is no genetic component. What I love most is that they are so chilled and laid back depsite their epic proportions. Sail Stena Line

"All but"

The ferry crossing was very pleasant with perfect hosting by all staff,both directions. The “All but” comes from access to the terminal which is not Stena’s problem. My sat nav packed up near Dordrecht but no problem I thought, follow Road signs. You may not be aware but there are no signs for the Hook of Holland until you are almost upon it. I made it by the skin of my teeth and the goodwill of your staff at the other terminal in south who called ahead to say I was on my way. Big thank you to them.

Excellent crossings to and from Hoek van Holland, especially on return with stormy seas giving the boat a run for its money. In fairness, these ferries just seem to plough through anything without spilling a drink. Cabin excellent. Crew excellent. Thank you

"Adequate but a few downsides"

Firstly: we did the day sail, we booked a cabin so we could get some work done and some rest, upon arriving in our cabin we found a desk but no chair or stool, also the bathroom had a very bad smell (it was spotlessly clean but the toilet seemed to be giving off a very strong odor of human waste) the internet was also incredibly difficult to login to. Once it was finally able to connect it was very obvious that to do any work whatsoever (and no cell service) we'd have to pay for internet access. The first attempt took money off our card but didn't allow us online. A second attempt worked. But resulted in a double charge (which we should hopefully be getting a £10 refund for) A visit to front desk for assistance proved to be less then pleasant but we did find we got a stool delivered for the desk which was meant to be in the room. Finally when leaving the boat in our vehicle they seemed to completely forget us and one other car behind us and only at the very last minute did a man wave us on to go, and then another man stopped us and let all of the freight trucks off before us! We had to sit for absolute ages. I've been on dozens of ferries with both Stena and p&o and I've never had an experience like today. On the other hand, positive reviews for the cabins general comfort and it being clean. Also the shower was above average with decent space, good pressure and plenty of hot water which was a nice touch. The smell was off putting but if that hadn't been an issue would have been an excellent cabin experience.

"Last leg from Crete to the UK"

Having had a traumatic event in Holland, a cat 'Bob' from Crete escaped from my car at the roundabout with the deck chairs prior to the port. I needed relief from stress. Easy & helpful arrival at the port. Even told me who to contact in Holland re the lost cat. Easy boarding. Really clean & so comfortable cabin (bunk bed) . The food in the restaurant was tasty, well cooked & tasty - 3 x courses included in price of the ticket. The best sleep in days. The only poor point was the delay at immigration control - 45 minutes to enter the UK. Which has nothing to do with Stena Line. But maybe a pre view of things to come.

"Smooth sailing"

I travelled from Harwich to England in the morning when the sun was shining and even the seagulls were subdued. A beautiful day. I particularly liked being able to choose between more populous rowdy areas and the quiet section on board. I did worry about the amount of brown smoke pouring out of the funnels but I have to assume research and development is urgently taking place to reduce Stena’s emissions promptly. Happy sailing!

From start to finish there were no problems. Checkiing in to boarding was easy and smooth. There was a slight delay waiting for the freight to be loaded but it was a lovely sunny day so watching the shuttle drivers busy with the trailers helped to pass the time. Once loaded we were underway to The Hook on calm waters. On board was clean and tidy with plenty of staff on board to help. The wifi was a bit exspence so left it off our shopping list. At journeys end leaving the boat was just S simple. Thanks

It’s the only way to travel to Europe with kids. You can fill your car (no bagging limit like flying!) check in is over a 3-4 hour period so easy, no waiting, and you can get on board early and get settled. On the day ferry we watched a film, played in the kids area, shopped and had a meal before returning to our car and driving to our holiday. On the return we went straight to bed in our cosy 5 bed cabin (en-suite) and slept soundly before an easy arrival and disembark back home. Really relaxing way to travel!

The ferry is luxurious and it is a lot less stressful than having only 90 minutes on the Calais-Dover route. The ferry itself is beautifully equipped and the cabins perfect - basic, clean, comfortable, and with a good shower. The only thing I would say is that there isn't much time to sleep. The ferry journey is too short to get a good night. I was knackered the next morning and still had hours of driving to do (both ways).

"Everything great until we needed water! "

We were very happy and delighted with everything about our trip. Even a minor delay on the return crossing was swift and communicated well. 6 hours into the crossing we ran out of drinking water. We were told that you do not provide drinking water for a bottle refil. We could buy a bottle, book a cabin or get water from the toilets. This was from more than one member of of staff! I was under the impression under british law a liscensed premise must also provide drinking water. I do not feel refilling a bottle from a toilet hygenic. In addition to this the toilets were sensored taps that were warm?

Hello, all went well, ship is big. My daughter didn't have really place to play. Either tiny playground for smallest ones or digital games, but not big problem. I found quite flustrating to call all passengers near to stairs and then held us over an hour. We could easily stay in cabins as there are not enough spaces for sitting. Not sure if I use this service again. However, cabins were good and all there for 7hrs journey. Worth the money. Also on Netherlands side of boarding all went smooth, on English side very slow and looked disorganised.

"It was okay"

We found that there wasn't enough to keep our kids busy. There was a small cinema room showing 3 current movies during the crossing - a family ticket cost 25 euros per film. There was a small duty free shop, a very small play area for children - very little to do other than play a few basic games on wall mounted screens, a cafe where the food and drinks were overpriced (the kids meals weren't to bad at 4 euros), a cage on the deck outside for playing football / basketball only suitable for older kids, an arcade where everything needed euros and a children's entertainer for an hour. It really needed a softplay area where kids could run around and let off steam. The crossing does take a long time (7 hours) and with check-in, loading and unloading added on it took 9 hours in total. Next year we are thinking of taking the car via the Eurotunnel instead as it is cheaper and actually would mean a quicker journey to Hook of Holland for us.

"Trip to Amstedam "

We have not been on a ferry for a number of years and decided to travel this route rather than fly. We enjoyed the voyage and the atmosphere on the ferry. We ate, we were able to sit and get up and stretch which is ideal as more difficult on the plane. Check in, luggage and passport were very quick as was embarking and disembarking. We enjoyed the time on board a great deal and will hopefully travel again in the future.

"night crossing Harwich to The Hook"

Excellent crossing,good nights sleep and a nice shower. Shame the breakfast is so expensive hardly anyone eating. If it was priced at a sensible price say £10 I am sure they would sell a lot more, and travellers would be very happy.Most cheap hotel charge around £8-!0 for a buffet breakfast and they must make a profit,but £15 is a bit steep, so we got of and went to first McD's we saw.

, we sailed on the Stena Line and booked a cabin on the way home all went smoothly. The only thing I would like to comment on is the amount of time it took 2 get a meal. We started queuing at 5:15 and finally got our meal at 6:20 which wasn't long before the boat docked.

had a great trip on both brittanica ferries easy to board ,well organised and great quality cabins. breakfast was great with lots of choice but the evening meal we had from the buffet on the way home wasn't great and very expensive at over 30 euros. all in all a good experience but I think the hull to Rotterdam/Zeebrugge ferries are still better. main reason I chose stena was the price.

"Very noisy travel."

Not a very relaxing and expensive trip. Moreover, the staff was not very friendly. Big problems with Wifi and when we wanted to pay for Internet the voucher system didn't work. We had to take a cabin because some kids were sitting in the bar area and were extremely noisy. After 2 hours of sleep I was woken up by kids running in the hallways and screaming. Too bad because if we book cabins it's to be a little quiet. Consideration should be given to making a quiet place reserved for people without children.

"Quick trip to Holland"

Both Stena boats were excellent ..as expected. We travelled out of school holidays and boats were not full. Toilets/catering/seating choices all great. Only gripe is length of time it took for unloading cars at Harwich last night..we were on deck 4..Also there were diversions along the Harwich/Colchester road so cars were directed towards Manningtree. I am grateful we are local and know the roads but for visitors hoping to get to A12/A14 Colchester/London/ Cambridge, it must have been a nightmare. I wonder if, in future, Stena could somehow be in contact with Highways Dept and tell passengers about road closures/alternative routes..difficult but would be appreciated,I'm sure, to UK visitors,especially those with children. hoping to get to overnight accomodation.

We have traveled with Stena before and filled in the comment form and had no reply,so I expect the same again. I paid for an upgraded cabin and went to have my cup of tea,only to find my cup was cracked.I went to guest relations and was not happy with the reply the lady gave me, so I asked to see the manager. He was very abrupt and almost accused me of breaking the cup ? I told him surely the cabins are checked before the next sailing. He was not very helpful . I asked for my inconvenience of wasting my time for a packet of crisps, this was point blank refused.So for a euro or two you have a unhappy customer who will not recommend your company. I thank you for your customer relations team, who did nothing to resolve the problem,except leave a note of the cabin number in the cracked cup and not even offer me a clean replacement !!!

This was my first time on a liner over to Holland and I must say totally enjoyed the whole experience.

Overall, the liner was very clean, staff were helpful and courteous and good to see things offered to pass the time away, such as the multi-screen lounge and the cinema.

Sailing with Stena Line between Harwich and Hook of Holland and back again is a pleasant and easy experience. The ships are comfortable and clean, check-in is easy, and all the staff are very pleasant. It was clear to me that staff have been well-trained - everyone says hello or 'good evening' even if they are just passing by, and small things like that make a big difference to how at ease you feel. We travelled overnight both ways, and even though the cabins were 'inside', no-frills ones, they were absolutely fine, with good bathrooms and comfy beds. Can't comment on the catering as we didn't eat on board.

"Fab trip but booking not good with direct frrries"

We have just returned from a trip to Holland as a family using stena line overnight ferries Harwich to den Haag. We booked 3 cabins through direct ferries . Two of these were described as 3 bed family suites, and the 3rd 2 bed bunks. On boarding and getting to our cabins the two 3 bed suites were not suites at all but bunks. We had an elderly lady a heavily pregnant lady and children not old enough to be on a top bunk, which is why we did not book bunk cabins for those people. Luckily the staff on stena britanica were most obliging especially Roger, on the help desk. He not only sorted us out with different cabins, he also emailed stena hollandica so that on our return journey our cabins were also changed. So a big thank you to him. But we are very upset with direct ferries as this was clearly misrepresentation from their booking service, and had the ferry been fully booked some of us would have ended up sleeping on a chair in the bar! Even so we did not have a “suite” as stated on our booking. So be aware and in future we will book direct with stena line as then we will know exactly what we are booking !!!! But the ferry is great. Food good and reasonable for meals. Tea and coffee a bit pricy. (90p) just for a cup of hot water! But overall a good experience eventually.

We used the Stena line to Hook of Holland and I happened to be on crutches. I called them in advance and let them know. On arrival they made sure our car was near the lift which was so helpful. We also had a cabin so I could rest my leg properly and they were excellent with a toilet and a shower and UK TV! The crossing was excellent. The boat is well equipped with two restaurants and some cafes and a bar. There is a cinema showing films and a kids room and there was a strolling magician who was very good. The food is not overpriced and is very reasonable. We much preferred this crossing to the Dover one and would definitely use them again.

Excellent weather led to a very smooth and comfortable crossing. Seats were very comfortable and the quit area was mostly quiet. The food on offer in the dining room was very good quality with a good price comparable with high st. Food outlets. On the other hand, drinks, even as basic as water was very expensive. Coffee was more like instant, not very tasty and horrendous prices. Good experience generally but use the restaurant which is great value, but take your own soft drinks with you.

"A pleasant trip"

We enjoyed our crossings with Stena to Hook of Holland, facilities on board were adequate, the restaurant staff were very friendly and customer focused. We considered paying for the lounge but glad we didn't - didn't look particularly comfortable and the quiet area at the back of the ship was adequate, I particularly liked the TV zone where you can plug in with your headphones and watch UK TV channels. Just beware the roaming charges - you MUST switch your phone to airplane mode otherwise you get a hefty bill for roaming at sea, I got stung for £45 on the way out, (wasn't using my phone but it was obviously using Internet in the background) Stena need to improve their signage about this!!!

"Very comfortable and peaceful in the lounge!"

We have now travelled twice (once in each direction) on this crossing and were very impressed. While the ship was very under-occupied each time, it was easy to see how much more comfortable it was to be in the Plus Lounge with all its facilities. We would do it again, especially in peak time. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the meals on board were pleasantly varied. On our return journey, though, the 'Quiet Zone' in which the lounge is located behind coded doors was amok with noisy small children... Overall a good experience.

"storm garreth"

Although the storm was raging the wind was behind us and surprisingly we had a very comfortable crossing . However on the way back we typed in Stena line Hook of Holland in our Google maps and did not really check where we were going. The satnav took us to the freight ferryport and we needed to turn around to cover the 48 km to the car ferry. Once there we did not find the signing very clear ( there were many roadworks which did not help ) and consequently missed the ferry. This was really annoying as the ferry stayed for another hour in the port but there was no way of embarking and we needed to wait and book ourselves onto the nightferry.

"peaceful and easy sailing"

If you are going to Holland or Germany (or beyond) in a vehicle this is the way to do it. Beats Dover Calais by a country mile. Sure it costs more and takes a lot longer. But if you can get the lowest price (around £100 for vehicle and 2people) then its far less driving and you save about £40 of that in fuel you won't need. Obviously many people are unaware of this because this was the quietest UK to Europe ferry crossing I have ever done. Hardly anyone on the huge boat. I had bar area practically to myself. Very relaxing. Slept half the crossing on the couch and nobody minded. So many staff for hardly any passengers. Meant service was top notch. Fast easy check in and loading.. Beats the P&O chaos at Dover. The only downside is how much of a pain in the a.. Harwich is to get to from anywhere other than Anglia/Essex. But for Holland to UK and back this is the way to go.

"Very comfortable but wake up call too early"

The cabin was, as last time, extremely comfortable and quiet, ensuring an excellent sleep quality and the journey was really very pleasant. The bathroom too was clean and comfortable with an excellent shower. I didn’t really use the other facilities on the ship. The reason I cannot recommend this route however is that I consider it unreasonable to be woken up at 06:30 to announce breakfast, then again at about 7:00 to announce the shop opening when the ship doesn’t even dock until 08:00. This dramatically reduces sleeping time on a boat that doesn’t depart until 23:00 and seems really counter-productive to anybody (most passengers) facing a long drive that coming day. Especially when you already lose an hour with the time change. It’s the only reason that I will not be travelling on this route in future. The ability to set my own wake up time in order to have a full night’s sleep is very important to me. At the very least you could do a wake up call at 07:30 in case people’s alarms haven’t worked.

"Homeward bound"

When we arrived at the Hoek Van Holland, it seemed very disorganised. Instead of the cars parking in the different lanes, the cars already parked had blocked the entrance, but eventually they moved, lol. When we were loading, I had to make them aware of the great big orange sticker in the windscreen (my partner is disabled) we were then sent to the deck below. The sailing was great, the cabin was very comfortable, although the mattress could do with lifting up, to clean underneath, as it was very dusty, with the remains of people’s rubbish. The food was ok, I’m quite fussy.

And the cabins are great, we have the inner, cheaper one, and they are also very comfortable, with the best ever shower you can’t get out of once you’re in.

I paid good money for a return ticket. 424.00 pounds in total, so to have to pay 12.00 euros extra for WiFi and then nearly 15.00 for breakfast was in my option greedy. I cannot eat that much food at 6:30am

"first time"

outbound embarkation was delayed significantly. This would have meant a serious delay in dining if w ehad been relying on the on-board catering. Fortunately we were not. The crossing was pleasant enough with plenty of space to relax. The cabin was adequate for our needs, although we ahd to call the creew to provide a plug for the sink and deal with the odour in the bathroom, we also had to ask for some clothes hangers. The upper bunk had such a thin and flimsy mattress on it, it was more confortable to sleep on the couch. Breakfast was good value with plenty of choice, and the plates had even beenm warmed. If only the competition ferry would do this..... The return crossing embarkation was almost on time. The facilities were exactly the same as on the oubound journey - different ship, same layout. No complaints about the bedroom this time, other than the inadequate mattress on the upper bunk. Evening catering was fair for the price. The floor staff on both crossings were excellent and extremely attentive.

"Harwich Hook of Holland End Aug 2018"

great experience overall, quickly on board, can go straight to cabin once on board, nice cabin basically a minature hotel room with tv, vanity cupboard, sofa and shower room, hot water was perfect, nice beer in the bar. only negative is all the car deck passengers had to use the same stair well so it can take 15 mins to get down the stairs to the car decks with people coughing over each other, that bit was not so nice but thats the only negative, crossing was very smooth and quiet at night.

When you have one of those journeys where everything goes wrong and your contingency timing goes out of the window! Well, last Friday was one of those times. Stena Line could not have done any more than they did. We called to say we would be late. Stena Line called back to see where we were and alerted everyone at the port. We are speedily let through, all the necessary being dealt with. The cabin was perfect. Food more than adequate, although a tad expensive for what we chose to eat.

"Round trip Hoek van Holland - Harwich"

We had a great trip.The staff, the ferry and our cabin were perfect, which made the trip very comfortable. One item we would like to mention, that needs attention is the time when the cabin must be left and the time we could actually start walking to the cars. No information was given about how long we had to wait or a countdown system to inform us about the process. Our child was sleeping, but the staff made it very clear, that we had to get out of our cabin. After we left the cabin it took at least 30 minutes me holding a sleeping 3 year old on my arm, while having no idea how long we had to wait. This happened at both trips and really should have your attention.

"Summer 2018"

The loading ramp is, unfortunately for my exhaust system, a little too steep for most classic cars (MGB) but this seems to be the case on most ferries. It would be nice if provision was made for such cars to be able to park on the lower deck and avoid any “collateral damage „ while embarking and again when disembarking. That said, it was a very nice, smooth crossing.

Everything ran smoothly. Just the normal thing that my cabin key didn't work, this happens very often, but I got a new one quickly. Also that the wifi didn't work and the lady at reception and a couple of other colleagues couldn't get it working on my phone or my kindle. They then gave me a different password and it worked. Of course it would be better without these problems, but they were solved quickly. Everything else was fine, friendly helpful staff and everything I needed.

"Good passage but boarding and disembarking processes for cycles needs an urgent review"

Hi, I recently used Stena Line to go to the Netherlands and back on a cycle tour. The passage on the ferry was fine but the processes of boarding and leaving the ferry was very stressful and potentially dangerous. On the 'outward leg', it wasn't clear which way I should be checking in (with the foot passengers or the motorists?), so I had to guess, in the absence of clear signage. Standing in an area full of vehicles pumping out toxic fumes, who could potentially run me over if they were busy fishing for paperwork or texting on their phones, was stressful. After going through the first line of passport and ticket checks, I was held on the side of the road, in the open and exposed to the elements, while motor vehicles were let on first. After being waved through, I was disappointed that I was expected to share the narrow twisting route with van drivers and other motorists who might "close pass" me at any second. This would be a particularly stressful experience for children or less confident cyclists, and eventually someone is going to get hurt from this happening as a matter of inevitability. I urge you and your management to review cyclist safety during the Stena Line boarding and disembarking processes, particularly in the sense of how they can be segregated from vans and cars. Please understand that not everyone boarding a ferry on a bike is a hardened road cyclist, your experience needs to be suitable for beginner and young riders too. I understand you have health and safety considerations to comply with but surely it would make more sense to get the cyclists on board ASAP, with bikes stowed, to prevent any kind of interaction between them and motorists.

"Seems experience"

Smooth crossing both ways. Travelled out on night ferry.We booked a captain's cabin. This was excellent but if someone had told us that the refreshments in the cabin were included we would have enjoyed a drink or two! Also booked seats in Stena plus lounge. Now know that this was an unnecessary additional expense as you don't need to use it if you have a cabin. Returned by day. Enjoyed the quiet of the Stena plus lounge. Would not use the Metropol restaurant again as the mediocre meal and casual service wasn't worth the higher prices. Overall, it was a pleasant trip and I would book again with Stena Line.

The trip was fine. Ferry fine . But. My trip to Europe was over 27 day . I contacted direct ferries to rebook my return trip 3 days early. They kindly re issued me with an earlier crossing. But ripped me off for £71. I had all ready paid for the return trip and the paperwork said the ticket could be changed at a charge of £10. Easily they ripped me off. I should have booked my ferry with stena line. And may I recommend if you using stena line to book direct with stems line . I've used them before and they have changed my return for just a small admin charge. Direct ferries stink

We booked return cabins and they are clean and comfortable. The food we had is so-so. The shop sells mostly overpriced touristy staff. The staff is pleasant enough. Since we crossed the channel overnight both ways, we didn't need to use the facilities much. WE did have a drink on the deck, and it's pleasant enough, looking at the industrial landscape of Hoek of Holland and pondering. WE were delayed setting off for two hours from Harwich but the captain made up the time on the journey and we arrived only 20 minutes late. So I gave a 4 star for punctuality.

Took the day crossings (night was full) from Harwich to Hook of Holland and back. Went on motorbikes. Outbound journey I had to strap my bike down, but return journey the crew did it for me which was really helpful. Both sailings were calm with good weather. Food was lovely and staff were pleasant. The outward crossing was early and quite, unlike the afternoon crossing back to Harwich which was noisy (even in the quite zone) and full of raucous, bored schoolchildren whose teachers had left them to their own devices. There were even tannoy announcements about kids running around on the cabin floors whilst people tried to sleep.

"Never again"

I usually take the tunnel and do an overnight on the continent. It’s so easy with booking.com but I thought I’d try a longer cruise for a change as the promotion video looks so appealing. Reality is however you are trapped for hours trying to kill time with hundreds of other bored people. I accidentally used my phone as we left the port and it cost me £93 as the ship has a mini mobile data lite setup which your phone automatically logs into. I asked the staff and they said they themselves regularly get caught out. There is free WiFi but it’s severely restricted. No videos or music so checking emails for six hours anyone??! The food was poor too and extremely expensive app. £2.50 for a small bottle of unbranded water. Crazy. I had to change my ferry home due to family circumstances and had to forfeit my cabin and pay an additional £30. Yet I was one person with a motorcycle and there were lots of empty cabins. I just feel like the whole experience was a boring shopping trip set up for their benefit not mine.

"Trip to Netherlands"

No issues with the service and professionalism of the crew. Checking in and talking to staff was easy and they could answer and questions we had. My only issue, we booked a room when traveling back to Harwich, the internet on the ship was free to use when on the main deck however would have to pay for this service when in our room. No sure why this would be appeared a little unfair

"Anoth enjoyable trip"

We have used Stena Lines before and have always been pleased with the service, and this time things were as good. The food aboard was first class and served up by very friendly staff. This trip we used the restaurant twice on the second occasion the staff had all changed so new faces but the same good service. Our cabin was very nice with lovely crisp clean linen on a good bed. Only one thing we were a bit upset about was the lack of dusting and cleaning the flat surfaces in the cabin a few minutes with a duster and damp cloth would have made a big difference. But all in all a very pleasant trip with good staff, good information boards and things to do.

"Excellent service"

We took the return trip from Harwich to Hook off Holland. Very pleased with every stage of the process. Easy to book. Boarding was well organised. Ship very clean. Refreshments reasonably priced including excellent coffee. Seating areas were comfortable with the option to choose the quiet area. We really enjoyed standing on deck. Disembarking was equally well organised and quick. We'll not hesitate to use this service again. Great value for money.

"Free Wi Fi!"

Stena website for Stena Hollandica clearly states that wifi onboard is free. I ended up with a huge bill for 3 phones that I was carrying. You are advised to switch to airplane mode on the electronic screens on onboard but why would you sit and watch them scroll through when you were already under the impression that it was free? When it did come up it wasn't on the next screen advising you how to log on to the ships' wifi, so again you would probably miss it. Stena needs to update its website.

"Cabin Fever"

From Harwich to Hook of Holland is only a 7 hour crossing, but booking a cabin was well worth the money. Its a little bolt hole to get your head down for a rest, or have a shower, and you have your own toilet. My cabins both out and on my return were clean and comfortable, and I would definitely do the same again.

"The BEST way to get to Holland is Stena Line Overnight Ferry"

It's not a cheap ferry, but for £500 return for three of us plus car we get hassle-free overnight transport from Harwich to Hook of Holland (and back) sleeping in an honestly LUXURIOUS cabin with huge window and comfortable beds (included in price) arriving fresh as a daisy at 8am in the morning (or 6.30 am on return journey.) It's much less hassle and expense than flying - where you don't have your car the other end; and by the time you've added effort and petrol cost for a 4 - 5 hour drive (each way) plus quite possibly 2 overnight stays onto your Dover Calais tickets, it's looking like good value for money. Especially when time is tight. The rest of the ferry looked fine, but honestly we just settled into the cabin and slept.

"Nice quiet trip"

The 2:15pm Thursday crossing from Hook of Holland to Harwich was wonderfully quiet and well serviced with staff. Food ok too. A bit of waiting around once on board waiting for the lorries to finish loading meant we were half an hour late leaving but this time was made up en route so we did arrive at Harwich on time. We also watched a movie which was great in terms of seating comfort and ambiance, the only downside being a slightly shaky screen occasionally, something to do with the engine resonance I think as it was a still crossing so not choppy waters.

"Great Trip....But"

Great facilties and trip for me and my family both ways to the UK. However I was not impressed by the knowledge of some of the staff when it came to food allergies. I have a hyper sensitivity to grains so booked on boarding for the night ferry back to Holland to have gluten free breakfast available. When I asked the staff at the breakfast bar what options I had he provided gluten free bread and then stated I could help myself to everything on the buffet. This included cereals, granola type options (grains) and sausages and hash browns (these often contain wheat) so I questioned again. The sausages and has browns were confirmed to contain wheat but I was still told the cereals were good but he couldn't confirm they were gluten free. This could have been a serious issue for me so I would advise those with food allergies to be very careful when choosing food, not to mention the price I paid for a limited breakfast option.

Journey back was less eventful though late disembarking due to an incident requiring the police to board. Food ok. Problems at both passport controls leading to long queues.

"pros and cons but overall all good."

I loved my two mini night cruises :-) I had smooth crossings in both directions with very little evidence of the windy weather outside felt inside :-) - My cabin was comfortable - with fresh towels and bed clothes, even though the bed and duvet were not as wide as a normal single bed/duvet. The cabin was equipped with a welcome feature of adjustable warmth of the airflow through it. It also had good en-suite shower facilities, toilet and wash hand basin. Potentially confusing is the time difference between the UK and the Netherlands, especially when a ship uses either one of these times for their operating schedule (!). I liked the morning waking call with some birdsong before the announcements. My main minus would be that there is no Internet in the cabins. Other than that, it may have been worthwhile looking for the lift when carrying up the luggage from the car deck on the third floor to the tenth floor where the cabins are, unless you like the exercise! --I cannot really comment on catering as I did not avail of it, or on staff competence, as I did not have occasion to witness this except where we were ushered to our parking space -and this was done professionally-, or on the general facilities as I went straight to my cabin and stayed there until the arrival. Still, having said all this, I really enjoyed my journey and would go again any time!

"Awful website"

I searched the website for a travel date of 2nd to 6th April between Hull and Rotterdam. When the results came back I was offered a mixture of options that included changing the dates and the locations to offer best value for money. I appreciate that this is an attempt at positive customer service however this needs refining as I feel that I was misled into booking a trip from Harwich to the Hook of Holland on 5th to 9th March which is clearly no good to me. I made the booking and paid for it and only after this did I realise my mistake. Despite not taking the journey I have been unable to obtain a refund. So I cannot adequately rate the ship as I was never on it! Therefore my score is representative of the website, poor booking process and subsequent poor customer service.

"Wonderful! Would recommend."

This was the most comfortable ferry I have ever travelled on. I paid for a basic inside cabin. There was a comfortable bed with clean sheets, a spotlessly clean bathroom with shower gel and soap provided, and to top it all off there were around 30 radio and TV channels available on the plasma TV. It felt like luxury! As we could board the ship hours before it sailed, I relaxed and had a really comfortable night's sleep before arriving in The Netherlands. The breakfast buffet was also excellent, I'm so glad I paid for this. It is a little expensive but then you can serve yourself and eat as much as you like of anything, it was all delicious and it set me up for the day! Every member of staff was pleasant and friendly and couldn't do enough to help. It was a very good experience, the best I've ever had on a ferry. I've already recommended it to my friends.

"Another great experience on the Stena Line"

Collecting a new puppy from Holland was not ideal given that it was Boxing Day!, but the Stena staff were, as ever,cheerful, friendly and helpful, and the ship was cleaned to a high standard, despite having to deal with dog's "accidents" on the main route returning to the cars. The kennels were immaculate but on the outgoing journey there were no clean quilts available, a small issue given that it was Christmas day previously. One problem was that on the homebound journey, many non-dog travelling passengers disregarded the clear instructions on which lifts to access to get to the car decks, which meant that travellers with dogs had to use the stairs - not ideal for many of us, especially older people struggling to carry their pets. Also, as a warning to others, I would recommend carefully checking your pet's passport as we followed the rule of a dog being 12 weeks old, plus 21 days to travel (Rabies Vaccination) as confirmed by my UK vet and the Dutch vet, but were told by Stena staff that the 1st day of the vaccination is not counted and the 21 days starts the next day!. Luckily for us we were allowed to travel as it was an overnight crossing, so we had a full 22 days clear before landing back in the UK. Thank you ,Stena!

"Very Pleasant"

I completed a return journey with Stena Line between the Hook of Holland and Harwich. I was pleasantly surprised and found the experience to be enjoyable. I consider this means of travel far nicer than flying as you do not have to deal with aggravating security lines, you simply drive up and hand over your passport. The cabins are very comfortable and on both outbound and return journeys I found the standard of cleanliness to be very good. I was also surprised by bathroom facilities, they are both clean, comfortable in space and very efficient. The shower was powerful with decent temperature setting. All in all the experience was far better than I anticipated and would happily use this mode of transport again. The only shame is that it isn't as economical as flying when travelling for a short period but compared with a two week visit, it is competitive with a flight and car rental.

"Good "

I have used this ferry twice in the last month.. going to the UK I was on my own with my 4 month old baby, dog and cat.. and all I can say was they where amazing really helpful and made me feel at ease travelling on my own, a man met me at the car deck, helped me with my pets and luggage.. showed me to my room.. took the pets down to the cabin.. and in the morning came up to my room and took the pets to the car.. just prefect... how ever coming back their was a couple of hours delay getting on board.. not what you wanted with a baby.. but never mind.. one other thing is their was no litter for the cat on board which was disappointing.. poor car had to to go like 8 hours without having access to the loo... and I was never told that i had to bring it.. other than thay there were no problems.

"Hook of Holland to Harwich Return"

We travelled out on 22nd December and returned the 2nd January. Both trips were very good. The atmosphere was different due to the season but the experience was positive both ways. The cabins were clean and neat and we enjoyed the sea view on the return trip. The ship was a bit noisy departing Hook of Holland and on docking in Harwich but it was not the same on the return trip. The breakfasts could have been a little fresher. The staff were helpful and friendly. We look forward to sailing with Stena again soon.

"Phone charges"

Very disappointed!!! After a great start to our journey with a fast, cheerful check-in, fantastic service dealing with our dog in the kennels, and smooth crossing, we couldn’t have wished for more....then, when we checked our bank account a few days after our crossing we saw that all 5 of us had been charged £50 each for under 10 minutes on the internet. £250 in total for updating and hardly any mb usage! I am disgusted to say the least, 3 of our party were children and hardly touched their phones due to us warning of costs of using their phones in another country. The cost of WiFi has cost us more than he cost of the crossing! BEWARE of this and please read the flimsy peice of paper they hand you onboard with no verbal warnings to read the information. I was busy getting my dog settled into the kennels for his first crossing, then getting my children showered and in bed after an 8 hour drive through the night. I was far too busy and tired to read anything handed to me quite casually, I just wanted to rest before driving again for 5 hours to reach family for the festive period. I put, what in my mind was a junk leaflet on the table and never looked at it again. My fault, I admit, but i am still angry that it was never stated at check-in to read important information and even more angry we got charged a fortune for such a short period of use, I feel sorry for all those naive people that sat using WiFi for maybe the full 6 hour journey! After such a positive start it’s a shame it ended this way, as I said, I’m so disappointed with you Stena Lines, I will not be a returning customer and will gladly drive out of my way to get back home to Denmark before I’d give you a penny more of my money!

"Relaxed, maybe too relaxed"

Getting to and from the port is the most frantic part of this crossing but that's more to do with where we live! Of all the crossings I've made on most all routes, this is the best. Facilities on board are comfortable, plenty and not excessively expensive. For instance, despite having a cabin on the daytime return journey we made use of the cinema, and the rolling of the ship only added to "Murder on the Orient Express"! A few points.... for those unfamiliar with Rotterdam.... allow extra time to get back to the ferry cause your sat-nav will be accurate after one particular important turning. As far as Stena are concerned they could improve the disembarkation process as it wasn't clear exactly where to go and the driver in front dithered just too long for me, went past him and the only port staff I'd seen stopped me chastising my impatience... signalled the other driver who promptly turned the completely wrong way! |So actually this is probably more to do with the Port of Harwich and not Stena but Stena need be aware, I think! The catering was a little hit and miss but likely reflects the few numbers on board and mass catering also.

"Harwich to Hook Of Holland and return"

I had two very pleasant crossings. I was pleased with my cabin which was clean and comfortable. I felt people should be discouraged from sleeping in public areas with their shoes on the seats, maybe I am being picky here but just my view. Food was tasty but was a bit overpriced. Staff were exceptionally helpful on the Harwich to Hook of Holland part of the trip. I will be using the service again on Tuesday 19th December and looking forward to another pleasant trip

Both crossings were very quiet as we were in the off-season. The boat was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. The shopping and dining experiences were excellent and the staff all very professional and friendly. Embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly. Signage to the ferry is very good and it is easy to arrive at the destination. For both trips the sea was very calm and the time spent on the boat was definitely the best bit of a long return car journey between Edinburgh and Switzerland!

"Very pleasant boat ride"

I always find the boat trip to England very pleasant. Watch the boat sailing out of the harbour, then when it is on sea, have a drink and/or a meal, read a book or do something on the computer, and when tired, head for the cabin, and have a nice sleep. Good bed, good private bathroom with shower. Next morning wake up, bit early but OK, and you're there. And I prefer the 'slow' boat that gives you this nice evening and night of relaxation and where you can walk out on deck to smell the breeze of sea to the fast boats that were used years ago that didn't allow you to walk outside and that were less relaxing. The boat trip is really part of the holiday already!

"Pleasantly surprised"

As Scandinavians that have travelled to England with a vehicle for over 40 years, we were devastated when they took away the DFDS Esbjerg to Harwich ferry. Hoek van Holland means a lot extra driving for us and many other Scandinavians, which is not good for the environment and is very time consuming. The Stena Line ferry itself was clean and modern, the old DFDS boats were pretty shabby towards the end so this was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately the wake up call was ridiculous early, but that is, of course, how the shipping company makes extra money by selling evening meals and breakfasts. This first time we did not have any meals on board. Another time we will arrive much earlier in the evening and have a leisurely meal on the boat before it departs. One VERY negative point. It took us ONE HOUR to get off the boat and through passport control.

"All areas covered"

From the moment you check in to the point of leaving the ship, all staff you encounter are welcoming and a pleasure to meet. The only downside of this crossing is actually getting to Harwich from the Midlands, would use the same company but maybe from a different port. Would recommend getting a cabin (as we did) as it gives you a private space to relax in, especially if travelling with a little one. Brilliant value for money and cleaner than other company ships. Travelled with a caravan and it was no problem.

This year we have chosen for a short ride and a long holiday by steering towards the UK, instead of France, Italy or Spain. Not spending hours in traffic jams, trying to sleep in bad hotels on our way to overfilled camping sites in furnace like temperatures; we started to relax the moment we set foot on the decks of Stena Hollandica. Quick & easy on boarding, also for our dog, a great lounge chair and an easy sail across the North Sea formed part of our very positive experience.

I will not use the ferry hence forth due to the diffculty of getting adequate public transport once in Holland

Crossings ran on time and were efficient. Had booked the stena plus lounge for supposed luxury. The seating was nice but snacks not exactly luxury, peanuts, a few chocolates and a bowl of fruit! Feel there should be an age restriction as they do on some of their other sailings, as had to listen to very noisy children for 7 hours in a very small space! Not the relaxing, luxury experience I thought I'd paid extra for. The food from the taste restaurant was very good though.

"good journey"

I always travel this way to go to England. It's easy and you know what you're getting. The cabins are much better these days. I take a cabin inside (no window) but it is laid out so you really don't miss having a window. Shower, toilet and washbasin in a little bathroom. The beds are normal bunk beds. One towel per bed is laid out. As I travel alone it means I have two towels, which I need. A shower gel/shampoo is in the shower and liquid soap over the wash basin. (Which is the same soap, I presume but in two containers). The beds are comfortable as much as beds on a ship go. I usually sleep well. There is a shelf in front of a large-ish mirror to put things on and somewhere to hang a couple of jackets. There is also a sofa opposite the bed, with a small bed side table. There is a TV with English and Dutch channels, plus a Doggy channel where you can see the dogs where they are travelling, a channel to watch the ships journey live, plus a couple of information channels. The light next to my bed didn't work, and I told one of the crew - who are easy to find at the end of every corridor - they checked it, and fetched an electrician who changed the bulb. No problem and all very friendly and helpful. The food is not so much to my taste, but it's really adequate for such a short journey. The shop is well stocked. I love travelling this route and I can definitely recommend Stena Line for friendliness and efficiency.

Travelling via motorcycle we were through in what felt like minutes. Help securing the bike could have been a little better but hey, I am sure if we had of asked they would have assisted. Up to the room double bed, tv shower, clean sheets towels. Pretty good.

"A great way to reach central Europe"

I hadn't travelled on this route for a while so was agreeably surprised at how good the facilities were on the ship. The cabin on the overnight crossing was not as cramped as I remembered, more like a cruise ship cabin. Coming back I used the daytime crossing and paid extra for the exclusive lounge, or whatever it's called, which was quiet and comfortable, though a little crowded. I'll use this route again, as it's a shorter route to central and eastern Germany and the Czech Republic than using the French ports.

Answer The clean cabin bed and facilities.Question What could we improve ? Answer.No towels in the cabin.Phone not working so had to go to guest service with a bad leg.No plug in bathroom sink to shave.I was on this boat in June last year.Surely someone checks the cabins.Totally unacceptable. That is a true copy of my original form I handed in. Then to make matters worse I had to cancel my return journey due to my Mother passing away.I was charged over 300 euros to change my booking, and to book a single return to Hook of Holland. When I called you I was advised to take it up with you by e mail and you as the booking agent would take it up with Stena Line. I have a death certificate if required. I would be grateful if either you or Stena Line reply to these comments. My telephone number as shown on my survey is 00 49 (0)5341 2845761and e mail davidmarshall771@hotmail.co.uk Kind regards David Marley.

"Trip to Holland"

We enjoyed a trip over to Holland and back on the Stena line and found the experience very relaxed. We were traelling to Amsterdam so the Harwich to Hook made sense and the ferry times were reasonable. Travelling on a Saturday we appreciated the big screens showing various sporting events including Formula 1, Tour de France and the Tennis. Needed to get to the limited number of seats in front of the screens fast though and plug in your earphones (ideally your own - some available in the shop to purchase). Coffee was good from the little snack bar nearby. Only negative was that boarding inthe Hook of Holland we were stuck behind a car which had dogs and the process for checking them in seemed very bureaucratic and slow. As a result we were late leaving but the ship made up the time.

"great ship, great service"

We had a great time on the ferry both ways from Hoek van Holland to Harwich and back. The staff is friendly, well organised and knowledgable. Modern facilities and clean boat. We felt safe when parking as there were staff members guiding us and safety of passengers and vehicles was put first. We had a great time on board. Walked around, had lunch and shopped. The tv lounge was comfortable and we watched some news and updates with a glass of wine. All in all, a great experience. Would highly recommend to take the car and ferry, rather than plane and hire car. Well done, Stena line!

"Cars, Ferries and Bridges"

Stena line were absolutely brilliant. Loaded up the boat very efficiently, were able to go straight to our cabin and sort ourselves out, have something to drink etc before bed. Had my head down before the ship left the port. The cabin was excellent. Unloading the other side was very quick and efficient, hardly had to wait any time. I absolutely loved the trip from start to finish, I then went on to enjoy a trip to Germany and Denmark, crossing that famous bridge to Sweden. When we returned - guess what, they had upgraded our cabin! A lovely way to come home. Only thing that let the ferry down was the Restaurant. I chose the special and it was really poor. The service was good but the food - uh-uh.

"RECENT VOYAGE"

Despite being one hour later leaving Harwich the ship arrived at the Hook of Holland on time, so punctuality with regard to arrival time was very good. The food (breakfast) was fresh, hot, and with plenty of hot and cold options available. The cabin was spacious, as was the en suite, and bed linen clean and fresh. The only downside was the sewage smell in the toilet which did not go away. Boarding was satisfactory, however it took 40 minutes to disembark - too slow in comparison with other ferries we have travelled on.

"Harwich Hoek van Holland ferry"

I try whenever possible to use this crossing rather than the Dover ferries. It is a much more pleasant experience overall. The staff are friendly and, because it is a longer crossing, have more time to deal with each customer. If you book a bit ahead, it is not necessarily much more expensive than the Dover ferries and, depending on your starting point, you do not have the long drag to Dover. The ship is very clean. I sometimes take a Day Cabin, which is not cheap, but if you are driving a long way when you get off, it is well worth it. The food is decent quality and the ship has always been reasonably punctual.

We have just returned from Germany and used the Harwich to Hook of Holland route ,we chose to sail on the overnight ferries each way. The ferries were Britannica and Hollandica and both were really good. The cabins were clean and comfortable the food at breakfast was good and sets you up for the ongoing journey. We had the Stenna lounge for the first time which was a nice treat. Definitely recommend this trip and great prices from Direct Ferries ,we saved a large amount of money from last year when we used another booking site. Well done see you next year!

"Stress free"

This is my first time using Harwich and this route. What a contrast to the hurly-burly of Calais, Access from the M25 was easy and being allowed to board a couple of hours before leaving was relaxed. In fact I think I was asleep in my cabin before we left Harwich. I had a good sleep and was almost unaware that I was on a ship at all. Alarm call an hour before disembarking allowed time for breakfast and a swift departure into the traffic of Rotterdam.

At hoek terminal I amended my booking which had included a cabin, paid a substantial extra amendment amount, was told that no cabin available on the new date. On board the ship found that there were many cabins available, that my existing cabin payment was not accepted and that the on board price was the original cost again plus a further supplement. Having used many ferry operators across the channel and baltic, notably dfds, finnlines, p and o, never been charged so much on a change of date. Surely a ferry company should not penalise in this way. Won't be using stena or direct ferries again

"The ideal way to tour the Netherlands and beyond"

The Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry was an ideal alternative to the Euro Tunnel for travelling by motorcycle to the continent. The roads leading up to Harwich were free of congestion and there was no queuing to board the ferry. The cabin was clean and cosy and the hot shower greatly appreciated. We made use of the restaurant and bar as we set sail. We had a good sleep, followed by an early start before disembarking in an efficient manner.

Both crossings were excellent and the cabins (1x inside and1x outside) were clean and comfortable and well appointed. I normally cross with DFDS from Newcastle to Ijmuiden in Commodore class but wasn't prepared to pay over £700 for the privilege. Even in a normal cabin it was over £400. With the extra fuel for the drive to the south it was still over £100 cheaper. I will definitely go to Holland via Harwich in the future. If I had to be picky!! £4.50 for a coffee was a bit expensive but it WAS my choice to buy one.

I made this journey for a long weekend in Rotterdam. It was easy and very comfortable and, despite travelling alone, it was pleasant to wander around the ship, have a meal and drink and then a good sleep!! Beats airport waiting and check in anyday! The staff at the passenger information desk are very helpful. Even though the trains to Rotterdam from Hook of Holland are not functioning at present, the bus transfer was easy - and only 3 euros!

"An enjoyable experience "

We both very much enjoyed our return trips between Harwich and Hook of Holland. Booking was easy and clear. Checking in was efficient. We had pre-booked meals for the crossings and these were excellent. Only regrets were failing to book seats in the quiet lounge. We could have done with having something available for breakfast on turning up in Harwich early on Sunday morning for our outbound sailing. Having to wait over an hour on an empty stomach wasn't much fun. At least the loos were open even though the advertised café wasn't, so that at least was a relief!

I used Stena lines few times already and constantly happy with every aspect of the sail, good access to port, driving wise, bording, on bord facilities, good variety of choice. accommodation, clean and good standards, i was only using economy class, but having tv in a cabin plus free Internet access in public facilities areas makes this line my very favourite one. There are other options, maybe closer, maybe cheaper, but I'm always going to choose Harwich and Stenaline.

Is there any possibility for your Company to have any influence on the Directions signs in Holland on roads leading to the Hook of Holland, because they only start appearing when you are near the dock.

STENA line is,as always, a nice and relaxing experience. Over the years the standard has improved and reached international level. It is a great and recommendable way to cross the Channel One remark has to be made: In the advertisement STENA is translating the name of the departure location Hoek van Holland and misformedit into Hook of Holland This gives a complete different idea about it. In short, the name cannot and should not be translated. It looks dumb and un-professional.

"Almost perfect"

Earlier this month we had our first family holiday. As our boy is only 1 and a half (and not very good at sitting still for more than 10 minutes) we decided to take the ferry. I was generally delighted with the whole experience. We had a cabin for both journey's and took advantage of the services on board having a lovely breakfast on the way over and lunch on the way back, my boy enjoyed the play area and being able to stretch his legs on deck and my partner and I loved the fact that we could have a shower and get freshened up whilst travelling. I will certainly be using Stena line again and we were also happy with the ease of booking from the Direct Ferries website. The only negative was the lack of organisation involved when re-joining our cars once back in Harwich. There was a 20 minutes delay in re-joining our cars with no announcement to say why, and we (with our tired baby in a buggy) along with an old Lady with a zimmer frame were left to the back of the queue. This meant that we had a very stressful end to an otherwise enjoyable trip and our delay meant that we were then holding up other drivers who were already in their cars. I would suggest that this is something that Stena Line look at in the future to ensure the 100% satisfaction of all customers.

"Two Ships; A Real Choice."

A return crossing, out on Britannica, return on Hollandica, second time in six months. An efficient and sensibly priced crossing, allowing plenty of time to rest in the inexpensive cabin. Everything you might need is on board, even WiFi. Staff helpful and sorted out a problem with my cabin by immediately, assigning me an alternative, without question. I have made this crossing a few times over many years and had hoped, after a gap of over a decade, the perceptible differences between the two ships would have disappeared; not so. They may be only very minor, almost unnoticeable things, but a crossing on the Hollandica always seems to be just that little bit better than one on the Britannica. They aren't enough to completely spoil the journey, but just enough for me to try to get the Dutch ship if I possibly can. It remains my favoured crossing for access to Northern Germany.

"Nice crossing but exit too hasty"

Crossing was nice and comfortable but as previous time, when comes the time to get off the boat, they don t allow people to move to the car deck a few minutes ahead of time, resulting in a massive confusion/cohort of people trying to board this microscopic elevator or stumble down 5 floors to where the cars are. More time should be allowed for a smoother exit. Also the priority boarding option appears to be no more; we regret that as it was very convenient especially if you want to have an early dinner on board.

We travelled on New Year's Day after our flight cancellation from Amsterdam to Southend airport. The ferry was very clean and we had an excellent lunch on board with very attentive staff. We upgraded to a five berth cabin for the four of us and at just €56 it was great value for money.

One of the easiest booking and boarding process I've ever came across. On the ferry it is up to the high standards, room was up to what you expect from a room on ferry and maybe more. I will definitely travel with them again.

"Great way to get to Europe"

Very comfortable journey with polite staff and comfortable rooms. All facilities were very good and clean, and there was everything we needed on board. If we could make a criticism, we felt that access to the boat was a little late from Harwich, which meant there was a short time to eat and settle in before going to sleep. Overall, the most stylish way to get to Europe.

Very happy I chose the ferry in preference to flying. Efficient boarding and disembarking, comfortable and clean cabins. Slept well. Will use it again. Disappointed by breakfast option in restaurant - a fixed price/all you can eat option only. I wanted coffee and bacon and eggs but didn't want to pay 17eurosfor it. Breakfast options elsewhere were all high-carb only Didn't think the prices in the shop were good value either

"Good/not so good experience"

We recently travelled to Hook of Holland on the overnight service. Very good cabin facilities and very comfortable. Pity the breakfast was not more reasonably priced. Very expensive. On the return crossing to Harwich we paid for the Club room. Whilst very comfortable and plenty to drink, I feel the wifi service was poor. These days you should be able to provide a full wi fi service at a reasonable cost. (or free if you use the Club room). On reflection I should have booked the overnight crossing coming back!

"Boys trip"

I took my two sons (8 & 10) on a boys adventure to Rotterdam using the stena ferry. From the moment we boarded at 9pm for the Friday night crossing the fun began. An exploration of the ship, then to our cabin for a good nights sleep. The boys waited up for us to depart. In the morning chocolate custard was their breakfast highlight. (And mine). The range and quality of good was fantastic. Arriving at Hook railway station literally outside. Sunday afternoon and we were first passengers to board. Again many excellent crew around to offer help if needed. We sat right at front of shop by window and enjoyed two meals and the crossing home. Great fun and will do again

Even though I arrived at Hook of Holland too late to catch the ferry that I should have taken (I started from Sweden), the staff at the Stena Lines office helped me to rebook, and allocated me a cabin. The loading went smoothly and then I was able to go directly to the restaurant and have a relaxing dinner. Breakfast was also good and set me up for the next part of the journey to North Wales (another 350 miles). Very good service all round.

"You won't be disappointed"

The very best way to start or finish your trip to Europe. My only major gripes would be the extraordinarily length of time it took to disembark (over 30 minutes on each crossing) and the absolutely outrageous cost of breakfast. The lounge is good value for money but should have been available to book online. The economy cabins were clean and although not exactly comfortable more than adequate to grab a few hours' shuteye.

We were informed a day before that the journey would be 2 hours longer than advertised, but in the event it was only half an hour longer. Caused a bit of confusion with our accommodation, but nothing serious. It is rather tedious (At 7 hours on board), but the seats are comfortable, and there is plenty of coffee available. Much, much better than overnight, where you are doomed to a sleepless journey at much greater expense.

"Not very happy"

Hi, Although I chose the flexible option on my Stena Line ticket (and paid for it) when I phoned Stena they told me I could not change the return booking to another date. They said that I had to contact direct ferries. So I phoned Direct Ferries, who charged me 130 pounds to move the booking back to the previous day and sent me a new confirmation. I turned up for the return journey with the confirmation, only to be told that the change had not been paid for by Direct Ferries, so they demanded I paid again. A lot of time and pain later I paid them and was allowed on the ferry. When I got back I contacted Direct Ferries (After a very long wait on the phone) and explained the issue. No explanation was given, just a refund promised.. I would not use them again !!!! Steve

Took a Captain Class cabin for the overnight passage to Hook of Holland, the cabin was spacious and well fitted. The range of included drinks and snacks was great. We didn't eat on board on this trip because of the timing. However we had a great meal in the restaurant on the way back. The extra cost of the Captain Class cabin was well worth it as we had a great night's sleep in very comfortable beds. Word of advice always take extra pillows if you usually use two.

"First ever voyage"

My wife & I embarked on our first voyage from Hook to Harwich. The experience was ok, but to be honest I still think that the Eurotunnel is the better option. We sailed over during the day, the noise and hustle & bustle within the ship meant that you couldn't just sit back and relax. The only place to get a little quiet time was to purchase your own cabin (Which, despite discounted, could have been offered at a much cheaper price, in my opinion). The journey back was extremely pleasant, we sailed home at night. This meant we went straight to our cabins and had a great nights sleep. The breakfast in the morning was satisfactory, although I probably wouldn't purchase in the future, just to get an extra hour in bed! The staff on the ship were extremely pleasant and very helpful!

A really pleasant experience for the whole family. Films on board helped pass the time for the boys aged 11 and 13 and you could also hire games and even a football or basketball to play on deck in the caged football area! Wind made that a bit difficult this time but a great idea. It was a very relaxing way to start the holiday and for those who need more rest you can also hire cabins when you get on board for a reasonable cost.

"Stress free trip to Holland"

From arriving at the port in Harwich to disembarking in Holland this trip was completely stress free. I travelled with my 15 year old son and his friend and as soon as we got on board they discovered the basketball court and spent the majority of the sailing playing basketball. The ship never seemed overcrowded and the sailing on the way to Holland was so still that you forgot you were actually on the sea. Spending the majority of the time on the ship alone did mean that I often lost my seat if I went to get a drink etc. but I soon found another place to sit. The weather was lovely so I spent a lot of the time on the ships deck. Disembarking in Holland was speedy and even though this was my first time driving abroad I found the roads easy to navigate. I ate on the ship on both sailings and the food was tasty if slightly expensive. If sailing again I think I would chose to sail overnight as we did lose a day of our holiday. Far less stressful than flying and I will definitely sail with Stena again.

I found the overall trip to and from Rotterdam very good and comfortable. The ship is very clean, the staff helpful and motivated, and the quality of food is good. Safety is well handled and everyone knows what they are doing. I enjoyed my trip very much. Here are some ideas for further improving the passenger experience. Boarding is a bit of a bun-fight at Rotterdam, where it is pot luck, if you get into a short queue. Frustrating to see others who arrived well after you ahead in the line. The menu in the restaurants should indicate if the food contains allergens such as nuts, gluten, dairy. If you have one of these allergies it can be confusing.

We had two great experiences travelling with Stena Line. On both occasions we had a cabin with a sea view which was really lovely. Our beds were very comfortable and we were very impressed to see towels there so we could make the most of the en-suite- the shower was fabulous and just what you need after a day's travelling. We were women both mornings rather early which was our only niggle- this was in order to encourage passengers to have an onboard breakfast. Really the crossings cannot be faulted - perfect. We already intend to use this service again.

"A good start to our holiday"

Check in went smoothly and uncomplicated. The cabin was spacious and the beds were comfey. Good shower too. The breakfast was a bit expensive and crowded but there was plenty of it if you get up puntually to eat it. We drove off the ferry very quickly after returning to the car. All smooth and seamless.

"Best way to travel by car to the south of england"

This is the best way to travel by car from Holland to the south of England. I use a cabin even during the day, it's well worth the extra money. The cabins are very clean and include a bathroom. The ships have always been on time and the service personal always helpful and courteous.

"I would do this trip again without a second thought. Great experience!"

We got a comfort berth, and it made a big difference. I don't think I'd do this crossing without a cabin to relax in. It was so nice to be able to stretch out and take a nap and enjoy a nice hot shower. The WiFi was only functional on deck 9 which was unfortunate. It would've been nice to be able to access it without having to leave the cabin. I had planned on getting some work done during the journey. Food in the restaurants was pretty good and the prices were extremely (and surprisingly) reasonable. A great way to travel!

"enjoyable way to get to the Netherlands"

On a business trip to the Netherlands; I chose the ferry rather than Eurotunnel and the drive through Belgium as it saves at least 4 hours driving , not counting the traffic jams around Antwerp - able to board early, good meal, comfortable cabin, no noise and off the ferry in the Hook - perfect, but maybe more expensive, even taking into account the probable necessity for a hotel doing it the long way round.

"Harwich to Hool of Holland - June 2016"

This was an 11pm sailing so the entertainment was not as good as the Hull - Rotterdam ferries. There was a bar for lorry drivers only so we used a smaller adjacent bar. The cabin was more spacious than ones we've experienced previously on different lines which was really nice. We didn't use the catering so can't comment on that. Everything was on time. Would use it again. Would recommend it to friends but not if they have children.

"Very impressed"

On the way out we booked a cabin but not on the way back because it was fully booked. The 4 berth cabin was great for the kids, a massive plus that it had a window. Very well appointed, super clean, very very nice. There was even a tv in there! Services on board were very good. The restaurant had a nice variety of food, all looked fresh at affordable prices. On the way back on a Sunday, we were nicely surprised when a magician entertainer came around making balloons for kids and inviting them to one hour free entertainment. My kids loved it and me too, he was good. All in all a very nice experience that we highly recommend. Just be aware when booking your crossing, I almost booked with Stena directly but then I came across Directferries and found exactly the same offer for literally half the price! So thank you Directferries! My overall rating is 5 stars for each category below but for some reason the system is not letting me choose five stars to each of them.

"Great service!"

I recently drove to the Czech Republic on holiday, and as part of that journey used the Stena Line ferries between Harwich and the Hook of Holland, booking via Direct Ferries. I included a cabin in my booking for both the outward and return journeys, and was handed the cabin key card at check-in. The cabin was clean and comfortable, so I was able to rest before the onward journey. The TV in the cabin provides a range of English and Dutch channels, plus a view from the ship's bridge, and a chart plotting the ship's course. There are also plenty of facilities on Deck 9 including a cinema, shop and a variety of catering outlets. On the outward journey I settled for a coffee, but on my return I had an excellent meal in the Metropolitan Restaurant. I would not hesitate to use this service again.

We were on our way from Denmark to England, so we had had a long drive before reaching the boat. Luckily, we could go on board as soon as we arrived at the port, and we enjoyed a very good pre-booked buffet meal before we even left the harbour. Everything was perfect. We arrived on time and, as we had chosen to wait with breakfast until we arrived in England, we didn't have to get up too early. Thank you for a pleasant trip. We will be back.

"Relaxing and comfortable crossing"

The crossing from The Hook of Holland to Harwich was a most relaxing and comfortable experience. I was impressed by the amount of room to park the car making it easy to get in and out of the vehicle. We paid extra to use the premium lounge and paid in advance for a three-course dinner - both of these were excellent choices. The lounge itself had some comfortable facilities and there was a very generous provision of food and drink. Our dinner was good value with excellent food served in a professional and pleasant manner. The ship was clean and tidy and the staff friendly and helpful. The security procedures boarding the ship were reassuring and disembarking was quick and efficient.

Hi All, the cabine was really nice event if it was not like the picture I could see. The bed was bigger than expected. All the bedding and cabin was cean. Also the shower was really nice, warm water and enough pressure. Better than in my house. The crew was really nice as well. For the car, the facility in UK (traveling from UL to NL) is alright. Toilet in the parking area was really cold (it was winter also). The facility in NL (traveling from NL to UK) was just ok. Toilets has been better than in UK. A small bar is also close (I did not comment as I did not try). Town is really close in NL. The load and unload of the car in the shift is really easy, professional people will guide you to this. I do suffer from motion sickness but the trip on the boat was really pleasent. I did not get sick even if I could feel some small movements. It is quite stable. I give a middle ratting for general facility and quality of catering as I did not use the cinema room and the self service (food). The food did look alright and the rpice was not over expensive. They sell some perfumes cheaper...

"Who needs planes"

Overall, my experience was excellent. The outward journey was on time, facilities were very good: sod the plane, I say. I'd much rather take longer and have room to wander about, eat, relax. The homeward journey didn't go quite so well: it was about 45 minutes late departing, and worse, when we reached Harwich foot passengers were kept on board for almost another 45 minutes, with no communication from staff as to why or what was going on. This meant we all missed the train and had to get a later one, leading to everyone getting home much later than intended. Even with that, though, I'd take the ferry again for all its many charms.

Me and my wife used the hook of Holland to harwich crossing last week,we found it to be a very pleasant experience , the ship was very clean, the food was of a good standard and reasonably priced. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful,we are frequent ferry users as we live in France and travel back to the UK frequently but usually more western routes ,wish stena sailed to Brittany. Would highly recommend the company.

"road trip"

Travelling by ferry on a motorcycle can be difficult at times, long waits on car decks sucking in exhaust fumes while you overheat in your road gear, slippery ramps and decks etc... but the crew had the few bikes on-board and off very quickly. On-board services were very good, the cabins well equipped, with a pulsing massage shower of which I made extensive use. The crew were friendly and efficient and menus varied and reasonably priced.

"Always a Pleasure"

We are a family of 2 adults and 3 small children. The family cabin is perfect for us. In the cabin, the bathroom and the public areas around the ship, you get the impression that everything is clean and kept up to date. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The restaurant (Taste) is fairly priced and the food choice and quality good. Especially good for the night sailing is the fact that you are allowed onto the ship very early which gives time to eat and enjoy the facilities before the ship actually sets sail. On our way out (HvH-Har) we arrived a couple of hours early at the port to check in and were on the ship within 10 minutes. Having previously always used the P&O North Sea Ferries, I am a definite convert to Stena Line - there is no comparison!

"Great Ship, great service"

Booked via Direct Ferries because they accept PayPal. Normally travel from calais or Dunkirk but from now on, I will be using this service. Holland to Harwich. I really can't find a single thing to moan about. Nice people, nice price and a super journey. I really find the chance to take a cabin during the journey a great advantage. Your own room/space, toilet and shower and even a bit of TV if you feel so inclined. Clean, tidy and very presentable. Thanks.

"To change the cabin, we had to pay and additional €100 and a €20 administration fee."

The trip was very satisfactory, am satisfied with the ship etc. The service when it came to rebooking, not such a good experience. We wanted to go home earlier, luckily I had the type of ticket that allowed modifications. When we contacted customer service, we were told that the first five days are full. It's very busy because of the high season. The next available option was for a crossing without a cabin for which we had already paid, and also had to pay an additional 20 euros administration fee We are agreed to this because we just wanted to go home and there was no other way but I think it is not a good service that we had lost the cabin worth 100 Euros and still had to pay the 20 euros administration fee.

"Stena hollandica"

We were delayed for half an hour but boarding ran smoothly. Late night sailing so booked a 5 berth room. Enough space for 3 adults and 2 children. Small double was big enough for two average sized adults. Was generally clean but did find 3 rather large toe nail cuttings on the floor between the beds. Good warm shower. Would advise to go to bed early as wake up alarm at 5:30 local time was "Don't worry, be happy" played very loud. I jumped out of bed half asleep looking for the kids phones thinking they were going off!! Altogether a pleasant trip.

"Much better than travelling by car"

This is the second year that we have used the overnight ferry from Harwich to Holland. I recommend anyone holidaying in Holland or further into mainland Europe to consider the ferry rather than cross at Calais and drive. It saves a number of hours driving and leaves you more refreshed to enjoy your holiday. We had a comfort cabin for 3 people outbound, which was very spacious with its own separate room with wc, basin and a really great shower. I am a large person and always fear feeling cramped for room but the shower and the cabin were great. The bed was really comfortable and we all enjoyed a good night sleep ready for our drive the following day. The restaurant on the ferry provided a wide range of good quality food. We had full English in the morning from the buffet restaurant but cereals, fruits, pastries, ham, cheese, yoghurt was all available. There is only about an hour from when the ship gives everyone an early morning call to advise of when everyone should start returning to their vehicles so the trip goes really quickly. The return journey is during the day and we have found that for the extra £50 it is advisable to get a cabin as well. You can sleep, watch movies on a tablet or something or you can walk around the ship. Overall, it is in my view much better and far less tiring than crossing the channel and then driving north from Calais.

All the staff on board was friendly and professional. We enjoyed the trip and will certainly use Stena lines for now on to travel to Holland.

We used the captains suite during a day crossing to allow our 1yr old space and freedom to play safely. The room was perfect for a family and the views/windows amazing. We were very lucky to have a smooth crossing. My only complaint would be that we were made to exit down to the car deck with young children through the smoking area for the lorry drivers and more than capable adults filled the lifts so we were made to carry the buggy down the stairs.

"Pleasant crossing"

The upside is that the ship is very comfortable, modern and clean, with decent wifi (but only in public areas close to the IT centre). Downside is the length of the crossing (7 hours) and the Harwich departure time (10:00) which means you have to drive through the night to get there. The Hoek departure time is much more convenient. Downside is also the lack of motorways anywhere near Harwich going west or north. (From Dover, you're on motorways virtually all the way.)

Both the booking process with Directferries and the trip itself went ver well. The only negative point is that there were delays during check-in for the return trip, which occurred as a result of problems with the computers but we were kindly informed by the very friendly staff. This resulted in to the crossing being delayed but we managed to arrive on time. The ship has an elegant decor with very good facilities e.g restaurant e.t.c.

"Hollandica Happiness"

Our early-March crossing of the North Sea on Stena Line's "Hollandica" was like taking a mini cruise and we were blessed with millpond-flat waters. The ship was spacious, well featured, sparklingly clean and staffed by friendly crew. Bars and restaurant food, drinks and service were superb. The on-board gift shop was reasonably well-stocked, although I would've liked to had a wider choice, but alcohol and tobacco prices were probably as low as one could hope for. The considerate Stena company even has an in-board saloon for smokers to enjoy their hobby in comfort. Don't forget to bring along your own headphones to make full use of the ship's free tv and movies entertainment centre and there's also free wi-fi to enjoy. A good value-for-money crossing and we are looking forward to repeating the experience.

"a sound nights sleep."

I travelled from Harwich to the Hook on Hollandica and returned on the Britannica, the return trip became a personal nightmare as the cabin that we were in (501) became very noisy at around 5 in the morning, I was woken by a shuddering noise which appeared to reverberate throughout the cabin, it was particularly bad for me as I was in the top bunk and it rattled on through to the call for breakfast, I reported this to your "information" desk and in fairness they sent an engineer to inspect the cabin, the problem for me is that the whole reason for booking an overnight ferry, is to get a good nights sleep in preparation for a long car journey back up to Birmingham. We were given a form to complete to register our complaint which I have sent to your office over a week ago and not had any response so I am hoping that this will register with someone and that you will contact me. regards Peter Brannan

"5 STAR CUSTOMER SERVICE"

This ferry crossing is by far my most favourite way to travel in and out of England. I travel alone, but stenaline provides the same service for lone travellers like me as it does for families with young children. I have such great stories each time i travel with stenaline, usually about the staff and how they go above and beyond to make my trip as comfortable and pleasant as possible. I honestly have nothing bad to say. Its value for money, Its comfortable, Its fun! Yes, it takes 7 hours .... but i enjoy that time to myself free of my luggage to relax and enjoy being on the sea. Ive never encountered a rough crossing and ive travelled frequently at different times of the year, for the past 10 years or so. Yes, a cheap flight is QUICKER, but if you have alot of luggage, theres no way you will get a better deal.. I recommend stenaline ferry crossing to everyone who has more luggage than a little airplane will allow, to anyone that likes to sit and read a book in peace with wonderfull views of the sea, to people who like freedom - you are not confined to an uncomfortable chair in an aisle or window, no, you can roam the whole ship... (within reason - deck 9 is our home for the crossing) go outside and feel the fresh sea air, even sit and watch a film in the cinema if you so choose. I like to set up camp in the smoking room next to the big round window at the front of the ship :) There are duty free shops onboard, a choice of places to sit and eat, a quiet room for relaxing in peace or if you include to rent your own private cabin - you can enjoy a good rest which is always lovely if you need to catch up on sleep - the wake up alarm makes me smile.. Is always happy music. I honestly cannot fault this service in any way. Im a fan. A BIG fan :))

"Excellent "

Travelled on the night crossing both ways from Harwich - Hook of Holland. Crossing is quite short so best to arrive and board ship early to maximise sleeping time. Dined in the a la carte restaurant which is excellent value. Ship is very large, modern, stable and comfortable. Service from crew is outstanding. Arrives early so only time for a quick snack breakfast in the bar at the back (croissants and coffee unless you want to get up even earlier for a full buffet breakfast in the self-serve restaurant. Overall an excellent choice to break a long journey especially if you have long drives at each side - saves a hotel bill. Nothing of great value in "duty free" shop.

"Christmas holiday crossing"

My family of 4 recently made the crossing from Harwich between Christmas and New Year. We chose to book a cabin to help us with our 2 young children, which I would recommend and definitely do again. Overall, I was very pleased with our experience. The ship was in very good condition with plenty of facilities for young families, such as play area, baby changing facilities, restaurant, internet area, cafe. The cabin itself was in good condition (looked like it had been recently refurbished, much like the rest of the ship really) with loo and shower and a TV with all UK freeview channels. It was definitely worth it for a crossing of this length with young children. We ate a meal in the restaurant which was good and the staff were helpful and friendly. We used the play area which was popular with the young families and gave us a bit of a break! The cinema was also showing a number of films throughout the crossing, although we didn't end up going to any of the showings. I would recommend this crossing to others and I would do it again myself.

"Surprise!"

This is my first overnight ferry from the British isles in over 20 years and I was pleasantly surprised of the quality on offer. Everything was excellent. Probably most surprising was how roomy the cabins were, I had an outside cabin which had a huge port hole offering great views of the North Sea. The food and drink on offer was of good quality and at a reasonable price with different restaurants offering different levels of service. Overall, I would 100% recommend.

"Ease of Travelling"

Boarding the ship was rather laborious, there was only 1 toll booth open and then once through I had to endure a further wait/queue for almost 1/2 hour which after a long day traveling I did not need. Once on board,I enjoyed a stress free journey from the Hook of Holland to Harwich. Both the bar staff & restaurant staff were excellent. They were efficient, friendly and very professional. The food was also excellent,hot and very tasty. I had upgraded to a comfort class cabin which was spacious, quiet & comfortable. This is the third time I have used this service & will look forward to doing so again in the future.

"Good Crossing but unable to work on this crossing."

We had a very pleasant journey but still debate whether it is wiser to do this trip or to travel Dover Dunkirk, on this occasion I went this way so I could work on my laptop crossing over, however most of the trip had no internet. I checked with several other passengers and they had no internet either. Your computers had no or extremely slow internet connection and therefore it would have been better on this occasion to have travelled Dover Dunkirk arriving earlier and then getting my work done. On a whole though we enjoyed the crossing over.

we took our 10 and 8 yo boys for a weekend break with the car and found everything with stena line very good. an outside cabin for 4 was fine - good shower, kids happy on top bunks! ship had a casino and bar (both very quiet, such that the grumpy croupier seemed a bit upset to be disturbed from her game of patience) to relax in - pitcher of beer £10ish. upper deck cabin was perfect to read/relax/watch TV - needed an HDMI cable to connect a DVD - on the way back (2.30 hook of holland crossing), kids spotting porpoises, and playing some free basketball on deck in a caged court (£10 ball deposit only). food was cooked to order and pretty good. staff all friendly and helpful. i don't know how slick this trip is for car drivers in peak season, but in october, i can highly recommend this ferry service.

"Another smooth crossing"

We have in recent years travelled several times across the channel on STENA line. Boarding and disembarkation has always gone smoothly and efficiently. I am particularly impressed with the facilities for dogs. The kennels are clean and comfortable and a CCTV "kennel channel" allows you to keep an eye on your pets from the cabin, as long as the lights are on. The cabin standard is better than that of many a hotel room I have stayed in in the UK. Public areas are light, modern and comfortable. The only really annoying feature is a loud wake up call 1 hour before disembarkation. (And I can't get "Don't worry be happy" out of my head for hours after!) The night is short as it is and I could do with another half hour of sleep. On the other hand I understand that allowing passengers to rely on their own alarms would lead to lots of late risers whose cars hold up the queues and whose cabins are cleared late.

On arrival in both Hook of Holland and Harwich, we were checked in by very friendly staff. We were allowed to drive on board right away. The crossing itself was ok and the weather was calm. Disembarkation in both ports went smoothly and before we knew it, we were on our way to our family in Cambridge. This crossing is highly recommendable as opposed to the Calais - Dover route where we would have had to drive from Dover to Cambridge.

"Restful journey"

The cabins were clean and good. However I did think the upgrade I did meant we would not have bunk beds. It was a bit complicated to climb up to the top bunk bed in my age, although the ladder was ok. A "nicer" restaurant would have been nice, such as a competitive company with ferries to Hull has that I have travelled with a few times. You want to relax and enjoy yourself when you travel that far. I was impressed that a foreman on cardeck (on the way from Harwich) realised I had left a window open in the car. I was contacted on the phone in the cabin. Very professional! He also helped us check that nothing was stolen. Very thoughtful!

"Great crossing"

We travelled out on the night crossing from Hook to Harwich and back. It was a good crossing. What I really liked was that on arrival at the port, we were allowed to drive on to the ship right away, unlike other crossings like in Kiel where we all had to wait in the parking space before being allowed on board. As a result, we had a lot of time to go to the cabin to unpack our luggage, and to head to the bar for a drink. Very relaxed! Bedding and bathroom were OK too! Breakfast was quite expensive for what was being served so we decided not to have any on the return trip. Croissant and coffee served in the bar were OK too.

Both sailings were fabulous. Staff were lovely so pleased to see guest services staff come out to help an elderly lady use the cash machine and then spend time chatting rather than being too busy to care. So rare in this day and age but so lovely to know that your company clearly values and encourages this level of care. Day trip- excellent,boarded in a timely manner and left on time recommendation...why do we have to pay for the cinema when its a disc in a big player seems a big wrong when you have already paid to travel and if I have kids for 6 hours I would not be able to afford yet it would be a wonderful distraction Night time sailing cant fault in any way -arrived early and yet were able to board cabin excellent much better than expectations smooth departure in the UK

An excellent idea to wake up after a good night's sleep and then have a whole day to drive to wherever you are going on holiday. We drove to Hamburg for example. Also at the end of the holiday to arrive rested and early and we were home by 8.30 am with a whole day to get ready for work and school. The cabins are compact but very comfortable. It's nice to check in early and have time for a relaxing meal before turning in. Would definitely recommend although it's not cheap.

"Using the ferry made a real difference to the enjoyment of our holiday"

I did not know what to expect from the ferry from Harwich to Holland. What a pleasant surprise. We had a Comfort cabin which had a queen size bed and single with ensuite. It was clean, spacious and comfortable. We arrived refreshed and relaxed having saved the best part of 5 hours driving had we gone via Calais. It made a real difference to the enjoyment of our holiday. The staff were all helpful, the facilities really good and the restaurant food was okay (certainly no complaints). We decided to get a cabin for the journey back as well. The day crossing back had a child's entertainer to help pass a bit of time. When travelling to that part of Europe we will certainly be using the ferry.

It would be very nice if the meals could be booked in advance, it is possible to do that if you book directly with Stena Line. Pre-booking dinner and breakfast saves you a lot of money. Also, the quality of the food in the cafeteria is poor. It is usually the same kind of food and often, not hot enough. Meals in the restaurant vary from time to time, there’s always something different everytime I step on board and the quality of the food is good.

I paid extra for priority boarding and disembarkation. Not such a good idea. I turned out to be one of the last people to board and disembark. There’s nothing bad to be said about the lounge, only that there should be more sockets for passengers to be able to charge their phones. Also, they announced that no one was allowed to sleep on the chairs in open spaces, and that cabins were available for passengers who needed to rest. Well, all the chairs were occupied by youngsters who slept on comfortably. Why didn’t they do something about it? Why just announce and not do anything about the situation? We’ve travelled several times with the ferry to England, but have never experienced anything like this.

"Great voyage"

We booked the 50 euro cabin for the trip from Hoek van Holland to Harwich. It was a fantastic choice. We weren't allowed to sleep on the couches downstairs so to be able to have a sleep on a queen bed after a long journey to Hoek van Holland this was fantastic. The ensuite was quite reasonably sized and the facilities were excellent. The staff were very helpful and the 1 hour before making port wake up call was greatly appreciated. We did have issues with bags on the ferry from Harwich to Hoek van Holland so we attempted to not check in our small sports bag like many others. We were advised that because the ship was full this was not advisable so we checked them in. The Hoek van Holland to Harwich baggage transfer was thankfully not delayed so no issues there. Great voyage, expensive generic café food (which I guess you would expect). I would recommend that staff or anyone reading this would advise first time visitors to Hoek van Holland that they should have at least 20euros in coins before disembarking for trains (if that is their mode of transport)..VERY inconvenient otherwise

"Harwich to Hook of Holland"

We recently had the pleasure to travel on the Stena Hollandica overnight to the Hook of Holland. The ship is modern, clean and very well appointed. The cabin was very comfortable for a family of four - like a hotel room but with bunks - we all slept well and barely noticed the motion of the ship during the voyage. My only suggestion to passengers would be to take up the suggestion made on board to buy rail passes for Holland at guest services. The ticket vending machine at the nearest station does not accept credit card payments, only coins, so even finding a cash dispenser will not help.

"Netherlands and back"

We traveled to the Netherlands and back and had two good sailings. The crew were helpful and the boat was a pleasure to travel in. The loading of vehicles was efficient and quickly accomplished. Food on board was fine and there were plenty of seats. I fully recommend this ferry crossing.

"Bike Trip"

Me and friend booked this ferry to tour Europe on our motorcycles. The Ferry was punctual and of a high standard. The facilities were very good and it was not expensive - around 8 GBP for a meal and 2.50 for a drink. The facilities for the motorcycles were good, with straps provided and good anchor points. I would use this route again.

"Business Trip"

A business trip to the Netherlands with a 9am appt, was adequately covered by this route. From the moment I drove up to the check in window and the lady welcomed me by name (registration number recognition) I new this was going to be a good experience. Quick loading and straight to my cabin, everything so easy. A lite meal before lights out and a really good nights sleep. Go for the outside cabin for the views if you can. Staff and whole ship experience was really good. Seemed a little late leaving but still arrivd in plenty of time. Will happily do this again if the business I went to conduct is successful.

Great ferry, looks reasonably tidy and well maintained. Staff is friendly, helpful and informative. Pre booked meal was fine. TV-room easily accessible. Departur from Harwcih was significantly delayed, but we arrived in Hook of Holland reasonably on time. So they hit the pedal which could be felt in the movements of the ship.

"Stena Hollandica"

Overnight to Hook of Holland on 4th May 2014, the vessel was faultless and seemed much newer than its 2010 year of construction. Full marks to the company and the crews for maintaining and operating her in tip top condition. Easily the best North Sea ferry crossing I've had, let down only by hot food quality and cost but I'd definitely use Stena Line again. (and did for the return trip 3 weeks later with the same pleasurable experience on her sister vessel)

"Plain Sailing!"

Very good from start to finish, they even booked nice weather for us. The only thing they could have improved was the traffic when we landed in Holland, and they could have made us aware that cabins at discounted rates were available on day sailings as soon as we got on the boat as we saw the poster with only an hour left to go! Overall, great, will hope to use again. Oh, and the fish and chips is decent, but take your own sauce as they charge £0.25 a sachet!

"Left waiting on the dockside"

We booked in at Harwich just after 20:00 in anticipation of an early boarding and perhaps a meal. However we (caravans and campers) were left waiting on the dockside for 2hrs 30mins for no apparent reason. I twice asked the dockside operator and he was unable to help. When we were eventually loaded, we found ourselves along side cars that had loaded over an hour previous. We eventually got to our cabin at 23:00! This hardly left time for a cup of coffee, let alone an meal, before it was time for bed. Hardly a relaxing start to our holiday! Their priority definitely seemed to be HGVs and cars. The return trip was totally different. The Dutch are better organised and we booked in at the Hook at 19:30 and by 20:00 we were sat in a lounge having a cup of coffee - much better!

We are very happy the day trip to Harwich and back to Hook of Holland is back in service. We used to leave in Engeland and visit every year from the Netherlands, but the last years we had to travel to Calais and take the tunnel. For the same price, but much more relaxing it is, to drive to Hook, have a lovely lunch aboard, watch a film and arrive fresh without driving for four hours.

Well organised journey. Dis/embarking well organised. Cabin is small but has everything required. Two minor shortcomings: Our cabin was filled with bad odour a few times during the return journey and I would have preferred to spend my Euros on the outward journey and British pounds on the return journey. The exchange rate on the Hollandica was such that I didn't spend my pounds, but kept them.

"Pleasant trip "

I'm from Hoek van Holland to Harwich and headed back to the Stena Line and felt on board very well. The comfortable chair in the quiet area made for comfort, of drinks and food was offered something for every taste. The cinema could I use and shorten up with a good movie some time. The only thing I regret is that I had to leave my two little dogs in the car. This is for a duration of approximately 7 hours for a long time and I'd like to see it - already implemented as on other ferries -. Would be allowed to take the dogs on deck

"Harwich to Hoek day sailing with car"

This was my first time on any ferry. There was very little information on the whole thing beforehand, it seemed as if people were just supposed to know what to do. But the whole experience was so easy, you arrive with your car and there is number plate recognition which generates your ticket. that is given to you when you show your passport and then you drive on. It was all pretty efficient, driving on and off was very organised and easy. The ferry itself was comfortable, it was very clean/large/modern and there was lots of space, there were lots of different areas to sit in and big windows to look out of. There is sports TV, stuff to buy if you want. The food is expensive and not the best but what would you expect. Its well presented and served but didn't taste great. There is an outdoor safe (caged) ball play area for kids and lots of deck space. There is cinema but it was just the Lego film as far as I could tell so not the greatest choice - ok for kids I guess. There was kids entertainment at one point which they sounded like they loved. The staff were all pretty nice. All in all i was really impressed. It was very punctual on the way out but an hour late on return so worth bearing in mind that this is possible. Its a long crossing and some people might prefer a cabin so they can lie down. I'm not disabled but I noticed there are a lot of stairs to manage. If you have mobility problems I would find out about lifts etc. The ferry terminal at Harwich is reasonable on the way out - what do you need really. There is a loo and a vending machine and some seats which i suppose are for foot passengers. The Hoek side was really easy. But coming back into Harwich was really confusing, its kind of a shambling concrete maze with people directing vehicles, and coming through passport control took an INCREDIBLY long time.

"Breakfast service"

Good crossing, excellent cabin and ship facilities. We found the breakfast arrangements very frustrating, an attendant at the entrance of the large dining room prevented us entering unless we paid for a full breakfast. Not everyone one needs a full breakfast, why cannot there be an arrangement for different types of menus? For example full English to a light continental or simple cereal. We were sent to a small buffet bar at the other end of the ship with one frustrated man serving, each coffee and dish which he had to warm up took ages and there was a very long queue. In effect this buffet had the appearance of a rapid food bar, although the service was not rapid, very poor for a quality ferry. B. Woodhouse

This is the very best way to go to Holland from England - and overnight adventure. The roomette-beds are very comfortable, and you rock gently to sleep as the ferry pulls out of Harwich.

"Harwich to Hoek of Holland"

I had to make a three day round trip to Holland with the car. The Stena line provided a very comfortable night crossing from Harwich. There is ample time to get a meal and watch a movie in the cinema before retiring to the very comfortable cabin, with en-suite shower and toilet. Everything was immaculately clean. There is a TV in the cabin if the cinema doesn't appeal. I slept like a log. My return journey was a day-time crossing. A meal and a movie helped pass the time. There was spacious daytime accommodation with quiet areas, reading rooms with magazines, and a well equipped children's area. I would thoroughly recommend Stena line and would certainly use them again if the need arises.

"Fantastic Value for Money!"

My boyfriend and I recently travelled on the overnight ferry from Harwich to Hook of Holland. I was expecting a cold drafty ship, that was primarily used to ferry freight but also took passengers as an extra... How wrong was I?! It was more like a cruise liner and the further around the ship we looked, the more impressed we were. At first, we were greeted by a crew member and directed towards the main deck where from we could locate our cabin. When we reached our cabin I let out a little squeal of delight at how clean and welcoming it was! The bathroom was either very well maintained or brand new and fantastically clean. The beds were comfortable and most importantly - the cabin was warm! There was a thermometer where you could adjust the temp if you wanted to. We dumped our stuff and freshened up before exploring the other decks. We came across a bar, a smoking room, a canteen type restaurant, an a la carte restaurant, a coffee bar, a duty free shop, lots of comfortable seating, a casino and a CINEMA! The drinks were quite pricey but the food in the canteen was reasonable. We paid 7.50 Euro to see Gravity and it was a lovely intimate cinema with good sound. They were also showing two other films. On both journeys our ship was running on time and the bar staff/canteen staff were very attentive - they couldn't do enough for you! I personally can't wait to book another trip. It was a fantastic experience and what's more, it was so cheap!

The food at the a la carte cafe is great for lunch and small meals and the restaurant Metro was a great way to spend the evening back to Harwich. There is ample space to spread out and relax along with space for the kids to play. This is a much better way to travel to the Netherlands from England than spending hours and petrol driving.

"Quality"

Simply put it was a great pleasure to travel on the ship. The service was very polite throughout. The ship offers great areas to chill out or even watch a film. The only down side to the ship is the odd pricing for food. Overall a great way travel to Holland but the food prices seemed odd or a bit steep. Don't let that put you off travelling though. A really easy way to travel with super fast boarding and exit at each end. You can park your car up outside the terminal for £8.50 a day which made my trip so much easier! Simply puled up, waiting in the terminal and boarded. Love it and had a time in Delft Holland as a result. Booking with Direct Ferries made it easy and quick! I will return and use the services again without hesitation.

"Best Ferry Trip"

Fair enough, I hadn't been on a ferry for some thirty years, but I still wasn't expecting these levels of luxury, stability and on-board facilities. The embarking and disembarking were models of efficiency, the cabin superbly equipped and the choice of places to relax or eat on board more than adequate. Expect to see me again!

"Family with three children "

The trip went without any problems. Punctual, well organized, friendly salutation, clean cabin. We had a 5-bed outside cabin which met our expectations. Too, enough space for everyone (children 3, 8 and 10 years). Only the food is improvable. Mainly fast food at high prices - and then even cold. This is better! Entertainment for the children could be more diverse.

"Superb passage"

We went from Hook of Holland to Harwich at the end of September 2013. It was a gorgeous day and the trip went as planned. Even though our Camper is rather on the large side it presented absolutely no problems to Stena Line. Everything on board was perfectly in order. Good food and drink, good entertainment facilities (play area, cinema, tv room, several bars and even a smoking area). Next time... Stena Line again. And booking?? ....also with Directferries again!

"To Berlin in comfort."

I recently travelled to Berlin, a journey I make fairly regularly and normally fly. This time as I had a bit of time on my hands I decided to travel with Stena from Harwich to The Hook and return. I was travelling with my 11 year old grandson so it was an adventure for him and the fact that we had a cabin for the outbound crossing made the trip restful and enjoyable. The food quality was very good and the cabin was fantastic. Having been on several cruise holidays in the past we were pleasantly suprised to find the the cabin was on a par with the cruise ships. On arrival at the Hook I was very refreshed and ready for our 8 hours drive to Berlin which was great fun for us both. The return trip was equally good although we travelled during the day so had no cabin but as we only had a 1 hour 30 minute journey home this was not an issue. I was very pleased with the whole experience and would recommend it to anyone who was not in a hurry to get to their destination or who was not a good flier. We will certainly use Direct ferries again in the future. A great experience. Thank you.

If you do not expect miracles, then it's probably passable. Apart from the MINI's play area for the children and the inadequate seating for the parents in the vicinity of children, the are always the same children's film, the squeaky wheel in the play area, mini servings of food and the high prices it is quite ok. Expect at breakfast not edible meats. You can choose between rancid cheese and ham. The jam is quite ok. The crew is nice and very committed.

This was the first time we have used Stena Line Harwich to Hook of Holland overnight ferry. The booking process was brilliant being given our cabin cards at the port and not having to wait at reception on board for them. The cabins were very well signed so we found it easily. We were so tired we went straight bed, my husband slept on the sofa as he didn't want to climb on top of a bunk bed, the beds were clean and comfy and the shower was excellent. We didn't use the catering facilities so I can't comment. The ship was very clean and we shall use them again.

"Easiest way to Europe with kids"

Once again an excellent trip. By far the easiest way to get to Europe if planning a longish trip (Germany, Italy, Central Europe etc) when across the channel. A couple of hours car journey in the UK, then on board into a clean, well equipped cabin - the kids love the bunk beds of course. Arrive a couple of hours early before sailing - we had fish and chips on the seafront in Harwich, or get on board (up to two and half hours before sailing) and use the restaurant. Proper night's sleep, very smooth crossing, light breakfast, ready for an early start to get across Holland and beyond. On balance, cheaper, cleaner, more convenient than breaking the trip in the middle of Germany - much better overall.

A friendly memebr of staff directs everyone to the correct queue. Clean toilets and good coffee available. Unfortunately the boarding is not so quick. The lady knows who we are from our licence plate, no printed booking confirmatin required! Great! But it then takes a long time before we're allowed to board. Once on board we dig into the chips and meat balls. the outward journey was on the Brittanica. The difference sits in the intercom... We can't really hear the captain, a cheerful loud voice wakes you in the morning. The whistling tune of the Brittanica is more pleasant. Getting coffee from the Barista bar takes very long, so armed with coffee we are the first ones to disembark! Excellent choice the night boat...lovely shower, nice bed...see you next year!

My wife and I went to England for a few days and took a daytime sailing for the outward journey and a night siling on the way back. We had chosen a slightly more luxurious cabin for the return journey and even this managed to exceed our expectations, both the cosy and practical design as well as the welcome drinks and fruit. The aircon on board is also very good and the exhaust fumes and noise of the engine were hardly noticeable on deck. Clearly better than on a ferry in the old days.

"Stena Line: perfect transportation from Harwich to Hook of Holland"

The ferry from Harwich to Hook of Holland on Wednesday 10 July 2013 exceeded my expectation. Very friendly crew, hard working, competent, easy going. The cabin was very well equipped, nice bed, very nice bathroom, complete with TV. The ferry arrived promptly on time. Off boarding went very smoothly.

"Ferry from Hoek to Harwich and back "

The crossings from Hoek to Harwich (02.07., 22:30) and back (05.07., 23:15) are as always very pleasant tours. Unfortunate thing is that on both tours at breakfast time vending machines only after repeated requests were filled to the staff again. At this time, the rush of guests is thus experienced mild upsets on very high and at a number of passengers. It would also be helpful to the passengers who want to use the lift to the car deck to provide better information about the usage. An indication of the time when the lift can be used again, sure to calm the passengers at (the now slightly irritated gone astray). Overall, I would recommend any time a crossing with these ships.

"Stena Line Hook of Holland and return "

Booked a cabin both ways and was surprised that the return trip cabin had a free mini bar, teamaking facilities and 2 beds (floorlevel) instead of 2 bunkbeds only on outward bound trip, these extra items were most welcome. Both trips ran on time and were efficiently organised - very impressed. I would definitely travel this way again as it saves on car hire and is a lot cheaper than flying, the only drawback is the travelling time.

Timely crossing, good value on the fare, clean facilities a little spoiled by the two tier costs for truck drivers and non-truck drivers extending even to the exchange rate in the bureau de change, left with the impression that Stena could do a great deal better commercially if they recognised that more units sold at a lower price would make fore higher bottom line profits, £5 for a coffee and a muffin just ensures you bring a thermos and a pack lunch.

"Denmark via Holland ,"

Our first trip to Denmark via Stena, Harwich to Hook of Holland. Good price with DirectFerries. Good Ship,good crossing,arrival times Harwich not ideal, and got held up in rush hour traffic. But ha ho worth the fare saving. even including the fuel cost Holland,Germany,Denmark, the trip would have cost 120% more via our normal route to Esbjerg, and the other ship crashed and wouldn`t have got home on our booked date. Fare comparison both with DirectFerries. Would do this route again because of savings but would delay the return driving (have breakfast) at Harwich and delay getting to Hook of Hollamd ferry by stopping before Utrecht. To Denmark, 10hours with natural and eating breaks to our destination was not a problem (2hours via Esbjerg route) Also on board food cost less.

"Long weeknd to Germany"

This our second trip on Stenna (Harwich & Hook of Holland)since October last year. Sailing times were good and on time arrivals. Decided to pay for cabin on return day journey which was worth it and was relaxing (having driven 1900km within for days!)as there were quite a number of passengers in the lounge area on deck 9. WiFi still rubbish and slow or largely non existant, even on the freely available internet room PC's! It really need addressing in this day and age.

We travelled on the overnight crossing on 13 June and were very impressed. Lots of different seating areas and very pleasant surroundings. Our little cabin was spotless and the beds were comfortable. The return trip leaving Holland at 2.30 was spoilt by the weather which meant we couldn't spend much time outside. We had a meal in the restaurant which was very nice. It's a long journey back to Harwich but it gave us time to rest after a week of cycling. I would definitely use Stena again.

This was the first time i went to Europe by car, and was anxious about the journey via the ferry. But once having reached Harwich, It was smooth sailing from entrance, emmigration, and boarding. The journey on the sea was also smooth - thanks to the good weather - and disembarment as fine. The ship was clean and staff very friemdly. There was good choice of food but need to improve choice for Vegetarians. Will travel again.

We were six people who have dropped out of the train until 30 minutes before departure at the check-in were -. Thus 10min after it was finished two boys on bicycles were still checked in and one of us pedestrian also came to the ship, while we other three were no longer able to enter the ship. The night ferry that I had to take was quite OK (the cleanliness of the cabin, one could find fault in a hotel, but on a ship with little time to tidy up one can, I think, do not expect perfection). The staff was very nice. The non-functioning wi-fi (which promised" in port "" was) was less great and I would not recommend this trip.

"Catering not like it used to be on the HSS"

We much preferred the 'all-day' buffet offered on the old catamaran service before they changed it to this super ferry. The food was better, the seating more comfortable and the whole thing more relaxed. In the lounge areas, there should be more seating with a high enough back to rest your head and snooze. As it is, there is a mad rush for a seat in the quiet area towards the stern, and once seated people don't move for fear of losing one of the few comfortable seats!

Hi, I found the Stella Hollandica to be a very clean and warm ship with friendly staff, I travelled with a motor home in the night going over so I had an out side cabin, the cabin was comfortable with a shower and a single fold down bed over a double one, it had a massive port hole window to view the stars over the sea.On the return it was daytime, the ship was not crowded there were several places to have drinks and eats, a quiet lounge, VIP lounge and cinema,the huge windows ensured a pleasant view where ever you chose to sit. My time on board this huge ship was a very enjoyable voyage, the price was fair and I would certainly travel with this company again. Thank you for reading. Lady J.xx

"Harwich to Hook of Holland, May 2013"

My wife and I took the night ferry that departs from Harwich around midnight and arrives into Hook of Holland around 07H30 the following day. We boarded the ferry about an hour before departure, had a drink in the lounge, strolled through the shopping area, and headed to our cabin before the ship departed. The departure was close to on time and we arrived into Hook of Holland very close to schedule. The immigration scenario was a challenge since we are not EU citizens. It took us over 50 minutes of waiting in line before we could enter Holland. I doubt that Stena can do anything to improve on this, but I offer it only so other non-EU passengers are aware that they will be detailed by this process when they disembark the ship. Like many other passengers we next made connections via train to Rotterdam. I think Stena should add some information on your web site about making train reservations or at least specifying the correct train station, platform to be used, and times for connections to Rotterdam. I had to go to a separate web site to book my train tickets, and I inadvertently booked tickets to Rotterdam from the Strand Station instead of the Haven Station. As it turned out, it did not matter, and the conductor took our tickets without question. But I did have a few moments of anxiety when I realized that I had made a mistake in selecting the station in Hook of Holland. Overall I would rate this part of our vacation journey as Excellent, well worth the money we paid, and a very good method to make the transfer from England to Holland. In our case we were continuing on to Bruxelles, but the train system out of Rotterdam is quite extensive, providing for connections to many different cities. I would advise people to pay close attention to the size and weight of their luggage since moving around the ship and transiting on trains means having to carry your luggage. On the ship we were always able to use ramps and elevators, but on the trains you will have to lift and manage your luggage yourself.

Everything worked perfectly well. I appreciate that we were welcomed on board by personal who helped us find our cabin. The cabin and shower/toilet had a good hotel standard. The only thing that could be improved was the self service restaurant, where the procedure was a bit confusing and the personal didn´t seem to have grasped it fully either.

Admittedly the sea was calm but I have been in hotel rooms that I felt move more than this Ferry. For the price of a cabin £30 + breakfast you would be hard pushed to find a Hotel or guest house as clean and well appointed. Breakfast buffet was good. A fixed price of 13 Euros did make me wince though. All you can eat and if you have a long journey ahead of you well worth it. (there are alternatives I understand so don't panic)

"A (football) trip to England"

You can go by car (train), you can go by plane, but nothing beats an old-fashioned super deluxe ferry crossing to England, and vice versa! Almost everything is perfectly arranged and if I may name 2 things, it’s the fact that you are not only paying a small price for a croquette or something similar, it’s also delicious. Secondly, it was disturbing that on arrival in Hook van Holland (back home?), it was unclear who was allowed to leave the ferry first: lorry drivers had to squeeze through the waiting passengers to go downstairs to their vehicles.

I went on the inaugural Stena Hollandica sailing from Harwich to Holland and was more than impressed with the experience. Everything was new so i imagine this is the best its ever going to be, but its 100 times better than the previous Stena ferry to Holland so nothing to worry about there. Ship had everything you could ask for and more than enough to keep you busy during the crossing with plenty of restaurants, bars, lounges etc. Highly recommended.
