"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

This is the first time I have travelled by ferry in about 40 years! We travelled from Turkey to Amsterdam by plane. Stayed 2 days to visit the beautiful city. Took the ferry from Hook of Holland to Harwich as a way of getting our dogs back to Uk. Had a pet friendly cabin and was walk on passengers. Was a very easy, stress free experience. Would definitely do it again and would recommend to others too.

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

"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.

"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! We had booked the lounge which I believe is not available to children under 8 but we had a child in there who was screaming and yet no staff member said anything!

"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.

"If you reschedule, do so well in advance!"

Wasn't overly pleased to have been given such a small bunkbed cabin for me, my wife and 7 month old child. I had to reschedule my return trip 2 and a half weeks before the departure date so I was surprised that we were left with no choice but to select a bunked cabin for three of us. I might be wrong but I'm sure they must have had bigger rooms available at the time

"Good trip, very smooth"

I enjoyed my trip from The Hook Of Holland to Harwich. The negatives were the directions on the website sent me to the freight departure area so I had to get out of there and find the car port. I also could not remember what deck my car was on, perhaps being able to take a ticket from the deck would be a good idea. Food was good but basic, plenty of seating. Very smooth

"Poor customer service "

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.

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.

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.

In holland it was less than 15 minutes for both. we booked a cabin on the way back as i have 3 small children, and the booking company didn't pass the information on to the ferry. I paid for the room but when on board the ferry they told me the booking company hadn't passed this on, apparently a common occurrence. and they wouldn't give me a room unless i had again. the customer server (supervisor called vicki) was atrocious, rude, and basically told me it was my problem to deal with. from a multi million pound company to a small hard working guy taking his kids on holiday i find this awful behaviour.

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.

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.

"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.

"Good trip except boarder control"

All facilities at the ship were satisfactory, but waiting at passport control makes you think to avoid any sort of travel abroad. Almost 3 hours wait with children screaming for toilet and food is not worth a few days holiday. Once all trucks were cleared, it was was our turn. This is the result of bexit, but no talks about it.

"Smooth and easy booking and crossing"

Really simple to book, although not offered a dog kennel on Direct Ferries booking page. Thankfully checked before travel and was able to add with Stenaline themselves. Check in process was straight forward. Some facilities were not available on the crossing due to staff shortages but I went straight to my cabin anyway. Comfortable cabin and able to check on dog via the TV channel. The wake up call is a nice touch but a little early if you do not intend to use the restaurant.

"Very good"

We arrived at the Hook after travelling from the south of France, via Lille. It was very convenient. Staff at the Hook were helpful and efficient, especially the lady at the ticket desk who helped me disentangle the complications of PCR test. Staff on board were efficient and helpful. The ship is super clean and runs like clockwork, apart from the cabin door key which I had to keep on. getting recharged. We've decided that in future we will travel by this route, as well as try it as foot passengers. Although our dog could have had a kennel, we decided to leave her with our cat in the car, especially as wearing a muzzle for the first time might have been too overwhelming after such a long journey and being left alone all night. All in all, a good experience. Thank you.

"Terrible Communication"

Having spent a busy Christmas with my family in Belgium we were looking forward to having a couple of cabins for myself and my partner and my mum and step-dad to use on the return journey. We made the amendment 2 days before we travelled much like we had done on our outbound journey but when we checked in we found that there was no cabin details on the tickets we were given at the drive-through check-in booth. When we got onto the ship we went to the customer service desk to try and sort out the issue and they were extremely unhelpful from the very start. It turns out that the issue however was more with direct ferry as they had not communicated our amendments to StenaLine and because of this Stena refused to do anything about it. They basically told us that because it was through direct ferries they were not willing to do anything about the issue. What is the point of selling tickets through a 3rd party if they are not going to deal adequately with any issues that arise. I only took the ferry because we could not take the Eurotunnel and I can assure you that we will not be doing so again once the French borders reopen to allow us to transit across France to Belgium.

"experience - Hook of Holland -Harwich and back. "

Hello. In total, trip, in both ways, was great, but - there are a few recommendations. 1. Good idea could be sms, or Email - for fast PCR test places, with work times, near HoH port. we drove from Denmark, and something vent wrong with system, and we couldn't get answers in out emails. so it was really stressful moment, but stena line customer service in port help us with address, so we also visited Rotterdam =) and one off test centers. 2. Easier overview, what papers need to be filled up, for trip NL-UK and UK-NL, maybe PDF with chance to download it, print and you are ready to go. 3. on the way back: we left ship 08:03, from port we get out 09:40. we could see, there was 2 new persons, what get training or we can call it teaching, there was a lot of people, who missed business meetings and get very stressed. Maybe one more window, or 2 windows, could help, to get flow faster, there was several persons, who helped with car flow in rows, so they could still send enough cars to persons, who learning, and enaugh to the other control point. Utherwise it was great. we definitely will use it again. P.s. We still hope, that i future there will be (once promist) again ship from DK (or Germany) to UK, it would be MUCH MUCH easier. otherwise we need to drive more than 7 hours without stops, so in the end it is abou 8:30 - 9:00 hours.

After paying over £170.00 for COVID testing and having to produce: all necessary paperwork, to quarantine on return to uk, pay for a day cabin to help isolate on board, we were told to exit our cabin a congregate in a busy public area prior to disembarkation for 30 mins. Poor protocols and attitude towards the pandemic. Consequently, don’t plan to travel this way again soon and will seek others options. Will also encourage friends and family to seek alternatives too.

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.

"Great, friendly service on board"

Hook of Holland to Harwich Lovely staff both on the Dutch side and onboard. Punctual, heaps of seats (it was the low season), several hand disinfectant dispensers onboard in light of everyone freaking out about The Virus. If you're taking the train direct to London, might be worth booking direct with Stena Line as they offer a Sail&Rail ticket which Direct Ferries, who I booked with, doesn't (I don't think it does anyway) and means you can jump on any train, not just the cheapo £11 advance ticket trains, and it's about the same price as buying the tickets separately. With Direct Ferries, I'm confused as to why the price was £35 and yet suddenly jumped to £38 once paid with no notification of a booking fee and no breakdown of price. Next time, I'll just book direct with Stena Line.

"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?

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.

"Catastrophe"

We even didn't get to the boat. When we arrive in a port 1 hour before the departure, a ramp was down. We came back 20 minutes before and the ramp was still down. When I ran in their office some ladies told me they were waiting for us to get in and that the ramp was down but it wasn't. We checked it. Twice. Then they told us that we were late although we came 20 minutes earlier. They said we were 6 minutes late (?!) and that they can't get us in. But there were no cars in the port not before us or after us as well so I'm convinced they weren't even there where they supposed to be. We lost 100 euros in total for the card and 50 more euros because we had to drive to Calais to catch a ferry to England. Terrible service all together. At least in Hook of Holland Harbour.

"Nice overall experience"

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.

"Not what though it would be "

My return ferry was cancelled by ferry operator due to maintenance repairs etc... I was offered a new ferry tickets next available ferry. And for our troubles we were told we will get a Upgraded cabin. Instead of 2 berth we have been promised 3 berth family cabin. Well... to our surprise a 3 berth was exactly the same as 2 berth cabin!!! Unless we were given a wrong one... 🤷🏻‍♂️ We have had a meal on the ferry also and it wasn’t great for what they charge. Overall average experience...

"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.

"Overnight Ferry Harwich to Hook of Holland"

Didn't know what to expect of the cabins on the overnight ferry, but thought they would be very basic. Upon entering the cabin, we were very pleasantly surprised. 2 bunk beds of good size and very comfortable, there was also a fixed couch with side table, a dressing table area with mirror, telephone and tv. We had hoped for a toilet, but again, very happy to have a separate toilet, wash basin and shower of generous proportions. Also, it was extremely clean and even towels and shower gel were provided. The ferry itself was also very clean and well maintained, the staff are also very friendly and helpful. Our family would have no hesitation in travelling on the overnight ferry again.

"Big Thank You to the housekeeping crew"

Use this crossing a couple of times a year and usually have nothing to remark on the service; it serves a purpose and everything works. This time, however, I’d like to give a big Thank You to the housekeeping crew who found my mobile phone and promptly handed it in so I could be reunited with it prior to disembarking at Harwich. Cannot thank them enough for their honesty and diligence.

"Smooth sailing "

I had a very smooth journey to England. My room was clean and all was in order. Great amenities, prices were better than other ferries I've used. Some of the staff were quite ignorant and rude and the most were extremely friendly. Being told to be out of the room 90 minutes before docking was not very good seeing as I paid for the room. Struggled to find a seat so had to stand. Overall a great experience.

"Bitterballen on the high seas"

Not really a composer of reviews but why not. Its Sunday. I am not exactly a regular user of ferries, but have used the Harwich to NL service maybe 7 or 8 times over the last few years. 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.

The trip overnight to the hook was great. Would get four and five star ratings. The trip back however not so good we set sail on time but docked back in Harwich an hour late due to engine technicalities, so the captain announced. This had an impact on my sleep time for work the next day having a two and three quarter hour drive home ment i didn't get home until 23.30 when i would have been home by 22:00. Facilities are, as always, great on board although i find them a little expensive.

Very easy to book, directions about where to go on arriving at the terminal on a dark wet night before check in non existent. Having said that everything else was very good. I was surprised how quiet the cabin was, no engine noise at all which is very different from my experience on some other routes. The cabin was comfortable so we had a good sleep before the long drive the other side of the channel. I'll probably use this again instead of eurotunnel.

My trip was ruined by the absolutely disgusting cinema seating. Having opted to kill an hour and a half with a movie we were shown to the cinema room and offered to find our preferred seats. Well, good grief, every seat looked like it was installed in the early 90's and never cleaned since, I honestly didn't want to sit in any of them, the arms were black and the seat pads covered in a multitude of different stains, I was appalled. This ruined an otherwise adequate journey.

"Great service onboard - shame about the car deck staff"

The journey as always is excellent with a great crew and great catering staff, with clean facilities throughout, and plenty to keep oneself occupied onboard. The only issue we encountered was upon exiting the ferry from the car deck. A member of staff took it upon himself to argue with me when I found myself (while driving off the ferry) stuck between a lorry that was maneuvering into my lane from the left and other cars in the lane to my right. He started shouting at me, and even commented that I have young child in my car. My wife and I found his behaviour highly offensive and made our onward journey (the beginning of our holiday) feel very stressful. He did not handle the situation well at all, and seemed to want to have a go at someone just because there was a traffic situation that occurred resulting in three lanes becoming congested (with me in the middle lane). As a result, I had to speak to his superior (second officer Shaun McQuade) who promised to file a report about the incident.

Having in the past had to leave my dog in the car in the bowels of the ship during a crossing (even a long night-time one), a traumatic experience indeed, I was very impressed by Stena's pet-friendly kennel rooms and deck area reserved for dogs. Owners can visit their pets at any time, take them out and let them do their business etc., or even spend the whole voyage with them (away from the ship restaurants and bars, of course). Quilts and water bowls are also provided. Thank you for this brilliant service for the dogs themselves.

"Great trip abroad"

We use overnight ferry to Holland. The cabin was great, clean and spacious enough. Thought the cost of food and drink a bit prohibitive. £15 for an all you can eat breakfast is probably not too bad in value but I wasn't going to pay £45 on breakfast especially as my daughter and I probably wouldn't have eaten that much. On the way back the crossing was delayed by an hour due to engine failure. It took a while to confirm what was going on as the captain had already said we were good to go at the correct departure time, but then nothing was said for a little while. However, we had booked into the private lounge and it was great in here with the free fruit and food, and drinks. The only thing was it was rather cold in there [several other passengers commented too about this].

Travelled with Stena Line return from Harwich to Hook of Holland and it was a fantastic experience. We had an overnight crossing so booked a cabin for both journeys and the cabin was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The crossing itself was excellent, set off on time and arrived on time. Checking in was a pleasant experience and I personally felt assured by the security checks. Everything seemed to be done very efficiently. The food on board was also nicely done. All in all a brilliant way to travel and I would certainly book again and recommend. Thank you to all the crew and staff at Stena Line.

"Perfect - if it weren’t for the incredibly poor boarding process "

We were happy and relaxed when we checked out of our cabin at 7pm, a little bit less so at 8pm when we had squeezed our luggage and children past the inconsiderately parked cars after climbing down five flights of stairs, by 8.45pm after 45 minutes waiting in the stifling heat of a car deck all relaxation was gone and we were just miserable and angry

"Could be better"

Unfortunately this experience did not live up to our expectations, when compared to other ferry-trips taken previously. The ferry was on schedule but nevertheless left more than half an hour late, yet no announcement was made by the captain. Our car was parked in, and so we had to reverse and turn around to get out, after all the others had left, as otherwise there was no space (This has never happened to us before and further added to the delay). Furthermore, during parking, the staff attending us was rude when we wanted to explain that our car was too tall to drive through. That was not really appreciated. The ferry itself had plenty of resting areas which was great, as well as a comfortable outdoor space. There was a lot of choice in the restaurant. Would not recommend booking the a la carte menu, as this restaurant seemed to serve almost the same as the other one but for a premium (of course, if you prefer to have your food served to you on a white table cloth with the view of the sea, then you should totally go for it). The overall experience, due to the slow start and end and lack of communications overall, has made us reconsider our return journey and we are more likely to choose a different crossing.

"Stena overnight ferry Hook of Holland-Harwich"

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).

"Very good crossings"

We travelled out overnight. The cabins were comfortable and clean, and we all slept well. Just one word of warning - if you have stiff legs, it's a bit difficult getting into the top bunk! The food in the evening was basic, but well prepared; and the breakfast was good. Neither meal was cheap, but we've been charged far more for worse. We returned on the day crossing. Since we had our seven year-old grandaughter with us we booked a day cabin. This was well worth the money, since it allowed us all to get some rest before the final drive home. If we repeat this trip we will definitely have a day cabin, since sitting in a crowded lounge for six or seven hours is not restful!

"Food and wifi were disappointing"

I was unable to eat any of the meals onboard as a vegan. Even the chips - which are marked as vegetarian - are cooked in the same fryers as the fish - so not even vegetarian. I had a portion of plain rice. I would bring my own food next time. I purchased the "Surf One Way" - "Surf the whole way!" wifi. The journey from Harwich to Hook is longer than 7 hours, so the wifi access expired during the night crossing, and I had no wifi on arrival. Hardly the "whole way" - passengers clearly want to use it at the start and end of their journey. Disappointing. Be careful if your phone is automatically connecting to networks as the Maritime network is hideously expensive and we incurred costs of around £20 in the few seconds it took to turn off data services.

"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?

"trip to Europe"

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.

"If travelling overnight - get a cabin !!"

Decided to do a trip to France on the cheap so did not book a cabin - thought we would be ok roughing it a bit. Big mistake, the facilities if you do not book a cabin are grim. Chairs are allocated in a lounge type area but they do not recline and if you get a couple (or more) together, which we did, they are very lumpy and it was impossible to get comfortable. Travel by day or pay the extra and get a cabin !!

"Easy on, not so easy off"

It is year's since I used the Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry and really enjoyed my recent experience there and back on the Stena Britannica. We had a night crossing on the way over and a day time crossing on the way back and on both legs we booked a cabin, which I'd highly recommend. Not that the public areas aren't comfortable and keen but if you've a long drive at either end of your journey they're so comfy you can get a good rest. My one serious complaint is that on the return daytime journey we had a long wait to get a) to the car decks b) to leave the boat. I'd have liked more information about why that was.

"A mixed experience"

The good news is that the crossing was smooth and uneventful. We arrived on time. The bad news is that we were refused service in the restaurant because we did not want to order a main course. It was, of course, already nearly midnight, and one might think that the restaurant would be used to serving something light and easily digestible at this time, but we were expected to want to eat a full dinner. I can't see the point of offering this, and since the restaurant was half empty, presumably others felt the same.

Disappointed with loading/unloading time compared to other ferry journeys we've made. Crossing was very smooth, limited vibration. Noticeable lack of comfortable seating, mostly cafe style seats. Food provision ok from Taste restaurant, shop small but reasonably stocked. Disembarking too a long time, but possibly due to port side staff and immigration rather than ferry would recommend with caveats, take overnight sailing and have cabin for comfort if returning to england from europe into Dover is better option for road connections

"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.

"Great trip, great ship, pity about the delay."

We took an afternoon sailing from the Hook of Holland to Harwich. The ship departed late and was slow on the crossing and so ended up 45mins late arriving at Harwich. There was a considerable delay in getting the baggage of only about 20 passengers off the ship and into the reclaim area. Having said that the ship was great, the crossing was faultless and the staff and facilities were excellent. It's just a little frustrating that onward travel is disrupted due to tardiness.

"Harwich To The Hook Moto GP 2019"

Great service all round. Simple booking on the net, with peace of mind confirmation. Very easy boarding with just Passports needed at check in. Safe car parking and a stunning ship /ferry once on board. Cabins are also very nice, and the Air Con was very welcome on our recent trip to the Moto GP. Bang on time wise both ways. Highly Recommended.

"Bed Bugs!!!!"

The ship was on time and the crossing so smooth that we didn't realise we were moving. Staff very helpful. The cabin appeared very clean,modern and tidy . However we picked up Bed Bugs from the crossing and have suffered them in our Motorhome for the last three weeks.!!!! A very unpleasent experience we have not met before and would not like to meet again. We would use the daytime crossing again but would certainly not use a cabin . We would be interested in your reaction to this problem ??? Regards Mr and Mrs Goldring

I rode my motorcycle on your ferry but wasn't impressed by the the way you do things no pad to go on seat to ratchet onto , no one there to add assistant , maybe you could look towards the way DFDS ferries do this

"Stena Maiden Voyage "

This was my first time on a liner over to Holland and I must say totally enjoyed the whole experience. However, just a couple of personal quibbles is that the chairs are not very comfortable in the lounge area, and food/drinks were very expensive especially for soft drinks. 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.

"Stena delayed us by 24 hours!"

Would not recommend this company to anyone. The check in staff are only in it for themselves, and their own promotion prospects, and seemed happy to delay us 24 hours. We were refused boarding the first day because ONE of the two dates on our dog's Pet passport had been corrected by the vet in France who did the tapeworm treatment, The supervisor (Nurse Ratched type) refused to take into account the uncorrected date on the other page, or to phone that vet... Very unpleasant (and costly) experience, which we also feel would not have happened at a French port / company. Will avoid Holland in future. (BTW it seems the correct process for any vet who makes a slip in the passport is to scrub that line completely and enter a new line...)

"Plain sailing"

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.

Pretty unimpressed. Had a puncture on my motorcycle just prior to joining ferry, and needed help to board. No assistance or interest in helping me at all by port or ferry staff. Boat was an hour and a half late arriving and boarding. Staff service slow, unengaging and generally poor on board as well. Facilities very good, but staff let the whole experience down badly. Food was of poor standard, probably due to late running

"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.

"Exceeded expectations"

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.

"UNSAFE FOR CYCLISTS"

I was a customer on your Monday 13 May 23:00 service from Harwich to Hoek Van Holland. I was riding a bicycle onto the ferry and unfortunately write to you today to let you know your conditions are unsafe and improper. You may believe cyclists are infrequent on your services and hence you treat us like third class citizens, however please bear in mind that ferries have a large appeal to cyclists over airlines and trains due to the expected ease of travel. If you continue to treat people poorly and put them in hazardous conditions you will certainly impact your business and potentially cause some people to be injured. My list of complaints is below: 1-Your staff at Harwich was extremely rude to me when I asked for indications of how to proceed to boarding. You should train your staff better and explain to them some cyclists (such a a myself) are first time travellers on a ferry and should not be disrespected for asking questions on the procedures to follow. 2-There is zero priority access for cyclists while boarding. It is not that we need priority over cars for the sake of it, it is that it is simply not safe to put us into queues in between lorries, busses and cars. For starters we are not in an encapsulated environment and are breathing their exhaust when in such queues. Secondly, lorries and busses also have huge blind spots and they may not see a cyclist so easily especially down the windy roads onto and off ships. Thirdly, the cars and busses may roll down ramps as they idle and queue and literally squash cyclists waiting behind them. Fourthly, when going down the twisting ramps to the main access ramp if you allow lorries and cars immediately behind us it’s quite dangerous as would be run over if we fell. It’s not like those roads are in perfect condition either. Specifically, a lorry was tailgating me at high speed as I was going down the ramp and this could have been avoided. For the record, I did ask your staff if I could board first to not be in a queue of cars, lorries and busses and she told me to wait in line “like everybody else”. 3–there is no covered area for cyclists to wait near the queue. I get it—you try to treat us exactly like a motor vehicle. However if it is raining, or cold, or windy we are supposed to just be exposed to the elements? There is a rest area that is very far away but then you lose your spot in the line and risk being put into a huge sandwich and car fume queue into the ship. When safety is already compromised as mentioned in point 2, I preferred to be exposed to the elements than risk it even further by losing my spot in the queue. Lastly, I just took a Dunkirk to Dover ferry with DFDS today back to the UK and I must say they treated cyclists with dignity, respect, and most importantly safety. None of the issues I had with Stena Line occurred with DFDS. It’s not that hard for Stena Line to do a better job. I suggest one of your staff takes a bike on board one of your ferries as if they were a passenger. Your staff have probably never done it, as indeed if they had I doubt they would allow the current conditions to prevail. You can also try taking a DFDS ferry as a cyclist to see how much more safety they employ. Hopefully you improve your service for your business’s sake but also for the safety and well-being of your customers which you are NOT taking seriously. I will not be using your services any longer and will advise other cyclists to do the same unless I hear the points above have been addressed.

I use this route a lot when I want to travel with my car. It's a great trip - one can really relax once onboard and security is much less invasive than by plane. I find the boat and its cabins comfortable, and there are plenty of cafes and bars to visit, plus the duty free - also a cinema (though I have never used that myself). I like both the day-time and over-night crossings - the times goes by quickly with so much to do. Just wish Harwich was located a bit closer to Manchester!

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!!!

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.

"Staff more important than customers!"

Outward journey was ok Return was ok until disembarkation. The lift was locked and unavailable for use. When weconfronted staff member he said we could not use it yet and unlocked it and went down to another deck. When the lift came back it was full of workmenand again we were told that we could not use it. It appears the staff are more important than the customers.

"A perfect way to get pets across the channel"

We booked the Hook of Holland, Harwich ferry in order to get our dogs back to the UK after I have been working abroad for a couple of years. The checks in customs were straight forward for us and our pets and then we were able to keep our dogs in a kennel for the duration of the journey. The staff were really helpful and assisted us with booking our dogs onto the ferry. It was far less stressful for or dogs than flying. The only criticisms I have is the food and drink is rather expensive and the ferry was serverly delayed when setting off and then was held up by a large cointainer in the way in resulting in a 1 and half hour delay

I did my trip with Stena line for Christmas holiday . I did like the ferry was so relaxing nice equipment for all my family . Kids also enjoy the way ,they love the cinema there. I would recommend that way of travelling especially when you need a relax from the driving. I will recommend as well to book the cabin. Is nice to get shower there and refresh your self .

"Double bed, single sheets"

Slightly dissatisfied with the sleeping arrangements in our double cabin on the return journey from Harwich to Hook of Holland. The smallish double bed would be fine to accommodate two people if the sheets on the bed were large enough. However the bed sheets barely covered the width of the bed and it was impossible to sleep comfortably as they just entangled us with any slight movement through the night. Moreover the bedsheets though clean showed signs of previous wear and tear (possibly a cigarette burn hole?). Pretty disappointed as the outward journey was not like this.

"Impressed"

Lovely cabin. When I arrived some 2 hours pre departure the check in process was both quick and they let us board direct onto the ship rather than queueing up with other motorists for hours like you get at some ferry ports. We were nicely settled in a cabin watching TV at least and hour pre departure which has to be sensible for both us and the ferry company. Lovely food and service in the restaurants and easy departure too. Definitely my preferred route to European destinations.

"Recent Trip"

having recently completed this trip and having made several ferry trips this year as part of my work, I must say that I wasn't that impressed with all the aspects of this one. From the outset, the boarding process was quite quick and 'slick' which is always good for a late crossing so that at least you have time to get something to eat at a reasonable time before the ship departs. I had the 'Premium Package', but wasn't aware of what that entailed. On the whole, the staff were pretty friendly and helpful in most departments and helped me understand what the ticket comprised. The price of the ticket was for a 3 Course Meal in the A La Carte Restaurant, plus Breakfast and entry to the 'Premium Lounge', with drinks being extra. My only real gripe was the attitude of one or two of the staff in the A La carte restaurant as they weren't very helpful in regards to the ticket I had and, although the ferry wasn't that full, it took an age to get served the final course and people that had arrived after me were being served before me, not impressed. The purser was apologetic enough and made up for this with giving me a free drink, small consolation but very welcome nonetheless after the long drive prior to the trip. I can understand people being a bit disgruntled at this time of year, being away from family etc, but, please, we all have to work and no-one made them work in the job they were and it isn't my fault that they just happened to be on duty when my trip took place. Customer Service went out the window there !!! The other thing which I found a bit strange, was that the ferry had already docked as breakfast was just being served. Not come across that one before, felt a bit rushed to get something to eat then get off the boat so they could turn it around. Maybe something that needs addressing compared to other operators. It was also a smaller ship compared to what I have traveled on and all the amenities being on one deck was a bit confusing for most of us, thankfully there were some helpful folk about to help with this. Crossing was smooth though which is not always something to be expected a few days before Xmas, the food that I had was also of a good standard, so maybe worth a bit of a wait sometimes. Cabin was clean and comfortable and the facilities in it were sufficient for the shorter trip

"Christmas crossing"

This is our 2nd trip travelling with our car, dog and 2 passengers. We chose the crossing for convenience of location in both directions and ferry times being good. However, when we booked our crossing and paid for our dog to travel, we assumed as we had booked before that our dog automatically had a kennel. We arrived and were told that it is not an automatic assumption that you get one. Despite this, we were lucky to get one in both directions. Secondly, our cabin bathroom was really smelly and we asked for it to be cleaned/ refreshed. The bedding I also believe had not been changed and human hair was evident when I pulled back the bed duvet to climb into bed. I was disappointed as I felt that this uncleanliness was not satisfactory for paying a premium price of more than 500 euros. However, it will not deter me from travelling again as I believe that the staff on board are friendly and the crossing is convenient for us.

We had good crossings there and back. The shop and duty free were very reasonable on our way to Zeebrugge but very expensive on our return on Stena Line.

"Crossing the North Sea in style"

Never having made a longer crossing to the Continent, I was delighted with all aspects of the sailing to Hook of Holland from Harwich. It was excellent weather and a nearly empty ship, it should be noted. Nevertheless, Check In was speedy and painless, despite the car search and pat-down, and we were boarded in no time at all. We secured seats in the Stena Plus Lounge and enjoyed a freshly brewed coffee before going on deck to watch our departure, which was 35 minutes late owing to the number of tractorless trailers to load. The crossing went without a hitch and lunch in the Metropolitan restaurant was excellent value, having been pre-booked (£16 for Norwegian prawns followed by seared Beef Filet). Time was made up at sea and we docked bang on time. Disembarkation was as easy as embarkation, and we were through Dutch immigration and away within twenty minutes. Another time I might consider a cabin - they looked very comfortable. I cannot praise Stena and the efficient and courteous crew highly enough and I recommend this crossing for anyone looking to abbreviate their driving to Europe.

"Fantastic Comfort Class Cabin"

First time we took the overnight ferry from Hook of Holland. Wish we'd got on earlier to enjoy the facilities. We chose to book a Comfort Class cabin and it was soooooo comfortable. The teas and coffees on offer were generous, but we were a little disappointed with the snacks in the mini bar. Just a small packet of crisps and a small packet of nuts for two of us. The drinks were fine though. Only downside really for us was the very early wake up call. It seems designed just to get people up for breakfast, but we weren't really into the idea of breakfast at 5:30am. Given we don't disembark until after 6:30am, surely it would be fairer to allow people to set their own alarms if they want to wake up before 6am?

Getting there by public transport go to Schiedam Central and get the 711 bus to Stena. It leaves soon after the train arrives. Drops you right at the terminal. Only place to get food/drink is Japanese buffet. Do if that isn't to your taste it is vending machine. On the boat, boarding really easy. Cabin has all you need and plenty to eat and drink.

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.

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.

9 am sailing to Hook of Holland with a Confort Class cabin and lunch pre-booked for myself and partner. The ferry was very clean and the cabin we booked better than expected with superb facilities at hand. The crossing was smooth, and arrived a little earlier than scheduled all good news. Restaurant was pleasant with friendly staff although menu was a little light weight with only four mains to choose from, especially if your not wanting cheese or fish in your choice, leaving a very nice beef burger (without cheese as requested) .Lunch was only available from 12 with last orders being at 1pm, thus my catering quality of 4 stars for this and main course choice - food itself was very good quality. If not able to book or meet the times, you have to eat at Tasty, which looked although not sampled obviously, very nice with a good choice. Overall experience A+

This is the third year in a row that we have begun our summer holiday going from Harwich to Hook of Holland. And once again, it was an excellent crossing - punctual, comfortable and extremely pleasant. Many thanks.

"Ferry crossing with a motorbike"

+ fluent check-in and passport control + enough lashing straps for motorbikes and plenty of hooking points on the car deck + enough choices to have a meal: fairly inexpensive "free flow" restaurant and à la Carte restaurant + quite peaceful cabin - the signposts to the port (Hook Of Holland) are a bit unclear and incomplete - expensive satellite connection for mobile devices (only a small notice in the Wi-Fi lobby to advice to switch onto flight mode to reduce costs) - there was no access to the car deck before the arrival to the harbour and that caused some hustle before exiting the ferry (on some ferry routes the doors are opened e.g. 15 minutes before arrival)

"Unbelievable Service"

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.

Just had two excellent crosdings between Harwich and Holland. We paid extra for an outside cabin as we had two children who had never been on a ferry before. The cabin was spacious,clean with a shower, toilet and TV. The porthole was big enough to sit in which was great. The food and service was very good. The loading and off loading of cars was fast and efficient which added to a great trip.

"Recent Trip across Europe"

I must say the booking sorting and actual trip aboard is so simple easy to book and organize, nothing is left to chance or you are left with additional worries and concerns. The crossings from Harwich to Hoek of Holland wert smooth and uneventful and ideal for relaxing sleep which was ideal for overnight driving on the way out. The cabins are nice but would like coffee/tea making facilities and a hairdryer would be nice. But would certainly use and recommend the service to anyone.

"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.

"Wonderful experience"

Our first experience of traveling with Stenaline. From the moment we set foot on the ship to the moment we disembarked in Holland , nothing was too much travel. We booked a Captains cabin and pre booked our meal. The cabin was brilliant , better than some hotel rooms we have stayed in. A complimentary fridge holding proseco, soft drinks, water plus 2 bottles of red wine, crisps and salted peanuts was more than what we could have asked for and a very pleasant surprise. The meal was gorgeous, a reserved table awaited us, friendly waiter service and excellent food. Although our journey was approx 7 hrs the time flew by. We would recommend to anybody and have no hesitation about using Stenaline again ourselves.

"Everything was fine."

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.

"Pleasant ferry crossing & nice cabin"

We booked the overnight Hook of Holland to Harwich ferry crossing with Stena. Our cabin was comfort class - nicely appointed, clean, free mini bar, tea-making facilities, decent shower, and 2 decent beds (1 small double; 1 single); with decent outside window with night blind & thin curtains and TV. The heating air conditioning was good. The only disappointment was that the drains in the bathroom smelt - the bad smell returned even after we had run the shower, filled & drained the sink & also flushed toilet a few times. We didn't use the ferry's catering facilities.

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

"Easy and comfortable"

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.

"Extremely poor cycling facilities"

There's much to like about the ferry service - it's fairly reasonable value and the cabins are comfy enough. The food is a little pricey and is just ok, but about what is expected. My main issue however is the lack of facilities for cyclists. If you travel by bicycle you board with motor vehicles, which isn't really a problem, however the area reserved for bicycles is really poor. You have to squeeze past rows of traffic and then there is a cramped space with a few rusted and bent pedestrian barriers and pieces of old rope with which to attach your bicycle. The area also has a few old boxes and bits of rubbish kicking around for good measure. These barriers aren't secured in any way so it's possible that they could fall or be pushed over with your bike attached - in my case a £3k carbon road bike. There also appears to be no attempt to manage the space, with the expectation seemingly that bikes can just be stacked on top of each other, which I think is unacceptable for potentially valuable items like these. No doubt the rest of the space on the vehicle decks is precisely allocated so why can't the same be done for cyclists? I'm sure Stena could do far better and at minimal cost to ensure that cyclists are treated equally with other passengers. It wouldn't take a great deal of imagination or money to add some proper bicycle storage racks and some minimal security. As it is the poor facilities on offer have left me lukewarm about travelling by bike on the ferry again. I feel that it is only through good fortune that my highly prized bicycle was not damaged and I was able to complete my journey after the crossing. My recommendations below are based on a cyclist friend not a normal passenger.

"June 2018"

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.

"Good trip and great service by Stenaline"

We booked a return trip over a 4 week period with our motor home, booking online with Direct Ferries with ease and travelling overnight out and day time return. The combined price was astoundingly good with a flexi ticketing arrangement. Accommodation on board both boats was perfectly adequate for our needs and the whole trip worked well. Our only disappointment, which turned into a period of frustration, was when we tried to amend our return trip booking to a different sailing time. The Direct Ferries website said it was easy to change bookings on line but it proved not to be so and I was referred to their telephone alternative. Despite calling the number provided on 4 separate occasions and waiting in a queue for an agent response for over 3 hours in total I was unable to connect with the booking office at all. In desperation I called Stenaline direct quoting their booking reference and I was able to switch to the sailing time I wanted very quickly but I probably paid a premium for doing so. All in all a reasonable result though and I would use the service again........but someone at Direct Ferries needs to sort out their customer contact arrangements!

"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.

Boarding, quick and easy from number plate recognition. Big clean ship with lots of facilities and comfy seating. 7.15 hour trip went quickly. Only downside was catering. A bufet meal was rather expensive, nearly cold and barely edible. I usually eat well on P & O ferries so was very disapointed. Otherwise a first class service.

"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.

"Good, but could be improved"

Nice and easy, great looking ship and seems well maintained. A bit of an unorganised embark/disembark as there was nobody to tell us where to go once we had parked. Facilities were great, but food was expensive for the quality of it. For instance almost £10 for a pot of microwaved macaroni cheese seemed a bit much. All in all it was a pleasant experience but has room for improvement!

"Don't waste money on the Lounge"

Ferry was nice and comfortable, even has an outdoor basketball court and Cinema. I paid extra for access to the lounge, thinking it would be like the Business Class lounges that airlines have. That was a complete waste of money. The lounge did not have the relaxing chairs on the advertising pictures that looked like you could sleep in them. It had a very limited supply of snacks, think peanuts, cookies, and some fruit. That was it. Drinks were also very limited. Also, it is not very quiet as one side of the lounge is semi open to the bar serving the guests on the other side, so you cold hear their conversations easily, and the bar keeper complaining to himself and to his college all the time. I would recommend just paying the extra amount to have a cabin.

"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.

"Good crossing"

I was originally booked on a night crossing from Hook of Holland to Harwich, but arrived in time to take the day time ferry. Stena were unable to give me a cabin or a refund, so they gave me a ticket for the lounge instead, which was lovely. Comfortable seating with free tea, coffee, fruit juice, wine, fruit and a few small snacks, The crossing was comfortable, not too noisy, fairly simple to find your way around and back to the car. the children also seemed to be well catered for as there was a special play area and an in house entertainer. I didn't eat anything on board and I didn't see may other people eat on board. I think the price of food reflects that. If it had been a little cheaper then I think they may have had more customers. The food did look good and fresh

Made use of the lounge, but as the ship was quite quiet, any sitting place would have been calm and relaxing. hI watching one film on the way back and got some work done as there was basic internet available. I was visiting a family half-an-hour from the Dutch port, so from South London it was only two hours driving, total. Makes it very possible. I did not try the restaurant other than for a pizza (which was not great, to be honest) but I think that was just a bad choice.

"Smoothest crossing ever."

The ticket price was a bargain and saved me the effort of driving through France and Belgium while letting me get a long rest. Ship was almost empty so no trouble getting the car on. As I parked the car (Tesla S) one of the asked if I needed to plug it it, that was a pleasant surprise and means I will be very likely to consider this route again as the distance to superchargers in the UK can sometimes be awkward. The bunks were comfortable and the cabins clean. The shower was good, although as always on the ferries, the drains smell a little. Don't know about the other facilities, we slept all the way.

"Bumpy ride home"

I was returning home from a long NY trip in Europe and took a ferry Stena Britannica to Harwich. All went smoth apart from some confusion while trying to find the boarding site. The ship itself is well mantained and the cabins are nice and have TV and shower. Food was decent though with not a much to choose from. We had an emergency situation with fire on board, where all passengers were awoken by the ship’s alarm at 2 at night. We all been gathered at the assemble station and later moved to the front of the ship as an aFT become to have to much smoke. The experience of waiking up at 2 at night in the middle of the stormy weather is not a good one. The emergency was dealt with in a professional matter and no panic spread. Apart from not being able to return to our cabins we all being served with breakfast and finally arived to the port an hour earlier. Thanks God!

"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.

"Poor service and poor information from Directferries"

Booked this sailing online through direct-ferries and as I was travelling with two cats was forced to book a “pet friendly” cabin by their system. When boarding the vessel it turns out they “don’t allow pets in the cabins” and “your cats will have to stay in the car” !! So the why the hell was I forced to book a cabin and secondly why did I have to pay for something that was left in the car? Does the ferry company charge per suitcase as these are also left in cars? The cabin that was provide stank of sewage and the card key did not work... they also managed to mess up the meal arrangements for several passengers... further waste of £50... given that the ferry was virtually empty I’d hate to think what would have happened if it had been busy! Tried to contact Directferries about this and despite three attempts they have yet to answer the phone, terrible customer service !! Will not use Directferries again after this debacle

Good ship, good food, good cabins. Staff unevenly polite/helpful (in general very kind, except for the duty free clerk - most rude). As for the ship itself only one significant glitch: Insufficient elevators (2), too small (about 5 passengers each). Makes it hard as you otherwise have to climb 5 floors to get from the cars area to the cabins/service desk. Either you wait in line forever or be prepared for a hefty exercise! Felt sorry for handicaped/wheelchair bound passengers who had no choice but to wait for quite some time. Otherwise quite good, but PRICY.

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!

"Civilised way to Travel"

Apart from not knowing how soon we could board ship, our fault, the experience was fantastic. A really comfortable cabin, with ensuite shower room; a quiet relaxing lounge to smooth away the wrinkles of stress from motorway driving, and a wonderful breakfast the next morning. We've travelled all the Channel,/ North Sea crossings, and if you've got a long drive ahead, there is no better way to travel.

"Pleasant crossing"

Price was unfortunately raised during the booking process which was somewhat of a negative and was close to not making the booking. Ship left and arrived punctually and apart from lack of soap in dispenser everything was in order. Not the first time that soap dispensers have been empty and on a crossing of this duration a closer check needs to be adopted in my opinion . Wifi was fine and ship cleanliness and staff attitudes were generally good. Did not use the catering facilities on this occasion so cannot really comment other than prices are rather high.

"Good way to bring your pets into the UK"

I decided to travel on the ferry to bring my dog with me to the UK from mainland Europe. It was very easy and a great experience. The cabins are very nice and spacious, the beds are comfortable, the in-cabin shower is great. I can't comment on the catering, since I brought my own food for dinner and breakfast. However, I did not particularly like the pets' kennels. They are all put in the same room -- divided in kennels -- for the whole trip. That means that since the owners will keep coming back and forth, the dogs basically never calm down. My dog especially was very stressed after a while, from being caged in a relatively small space. She is a very big dog, and the space was not that much for her, but fear not, the smaller the dog, the smaller the kennel assigned. Also, the walking space outside for the dogs to do their business is very small and not comfortable for either dogs or owners. But, if you are either traveling without pets, or are trying to bring your pet into the UK, this ferry will absolutely do the job wonderfully!

"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.

"Our holiday started on board of Stena Hollandica"

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.

"P&O Zeebrugge crossing "

We found this crossing to be significantly less good than are recent sailings with Stena and Brittany. We were disappointed in the lack of catering available - two relatively highly priced options or limited cafe. Having experienced well priced and good children's meal deal options on other crossings, this was disappointing. Children's play facilities were also extremely limited and our cabin was very utilitarian and basic. For the price of the crossing, I would expect a few nicer touches and better family friendly services on board.

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.

My family and I began our summer holiday onboard The Britannica. I was very pleasantly surprised by pretty much everything! We booked a outside cabin which was probably the cleanist room we've ever stayed in. Very modern and plenty of space for the 4 of us for the journey. Surprised to find a cinema onboard and although it wasn't cheap, it certainly passed the time. I can't wait to travel on a Stena Ferry again and would definitely recommend anyone to do it too.

"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.

"How to keep happy customers"

I have been travelling on Stena for many years now and the improvement in part from the competition from other means of crossing the channel has meant that standards have had to improve. Catering used to be a very wek link in Stena's offerings on board but now the food is of a good standard, the service is great and cleanliness would put other land based caterers to shame. The meals are good value on the whole except for the cost of soft drinks and tea or coffee. The prices of the later are far to high and especially so when you have the family with you. If Stena were to lower these prices it would raise customer satisfaction levels in my opinion almost immiediately and although the overall profit would go down on drinks I believe that the gains made elsewhere would more than make up for this. Well done Stena, keep up the good work.

"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.

"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.

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.

"Disappointed"

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.

"The best way to travel"

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!

"And once again "

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. I'm recommending this route to everyone who wants to take car to Europe, always great experience

"Great crossing....."

I had a great crossing, much more relaxing than flying as I do a lot of flying this was a great surprise! The only thing I have a gripe with is the fact that I never give my correct phone numbers out anymore so as to stop sales/cold callers. I make a point of recording when I leave my numbers on a website or booking entry. Since putting my numbers on the Stena website booking form I have been hounded with cold callers. Forgive me if this is incorrect but as I say I keep record of this. Otherwise this was a pleasant experience. Thanks

Having spent the day going to the Hook of Holland and returning overnight, I can only say how clean the Boat was, also the staff were very helpful and attentive, I will definitely use you again when I visit Holland. 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. Not one sign when you are on the motorway A15/N15.

"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.

Both journeys were thoroughly enjoyable. The ship was well appointed, clean and the service was excellent. We had a day cabin which proved very useful for working and resting. We thought we'd b booked a comfort cabin for the overnight return but were allocated a standard cabin in the stern. The staff were extremely helpful in finding a five berth cabin for the two of us which was very comfortable. The change was made at no cost. Overall the journeys were pleasant and a good way to cross the North Sea.

Incredibly friendly service, from the check-in, staff on board, and even the port security. We had two double cabins for a family of four as we didn't manage to get a family cabin, but they were right next door to one another and were clean, well-equipped and with plenty of space. Particularly enjoyed the shower in the morning. Surprisingly good! We hadn't planned to eat on board due to the timing, but were quite glad as breakfast especially, appeared to be quite pricy. Enjoyed our trip and will be taking this route again in November. Certainly a viable alternative to the shorter routes between France and England.

"Round trip to UK (Hook Of Holland and Harwich with Stena Line)"

Dear Colleagues from Stena Line, On behalf of my family, I would like to thank you and your crew for the excellent experience we had on those two trips, from Hook of Holand to UK and back again to the same port. This was our first trip with your company. The overall services were excellent, as well as the accommodation and the food. On purpose, we tried different accommodation type, so that in the future we could choose, based on our needs or desire. The three types were just fine, and the last one that I used with my wife was simply excellent! As for the car, I did not encounter problem for parking it inside the ship, as the crew were always there to support the drivers. If I would recommend to other families? Of course: the price was lower than by using train, and we could enjoy the time spent onboard, which normally we don't do inside an airplane. Thanks you all, and I will be looking forward for another trip on your ships. Regards, Luiz

Travelling on the Sienna line ferries were stressfree and a very pleasant experience, but we found that although we are a couple and had a single berth from Harwich to Hook of Holland, on our return 2 x cabins had been booked by Direct Ferries. As I didn't expect that I didn't check before departure, but it seems very strange that such an error could occur. A request for repayment was made by the pursor on board, butyso far no joy.

The range and quality of good was fantastic. Arriving at Hook railway station literally outside. Sunday afternoon and we were first passengers to board.

Travelling from Switzerland to Gloucestershire we decided to avoid Calais in case there were delays and found the drive up through Germany was fast and easy, with no motorway tolls and with the added bonus of a couple of days stop on the Rhine valley.

"Travel home to UK"

A pleasant end to a wonderful holiday. I choose a cabin and overnight sailing to give my husband a break from driving. There were two minor discords with the trip. The first is that I have mobility problems and would normally use my mobility scooter to move around the ship. I had notified the company but the cabin would not have been wide enough to bring this or even a wheelchair in. As it was an overnight crossing only, we made do with the assistance of my husband and a folding walking aid. The second was the arrangements for breakfast and disembarkment the following morning. We were up early to disembark but were told we were not disembarking until 6.30am. Because other ferries I have travelled on like a quick disembarkment, I did not book a breakfast and found that we could not have a proper breakfast nor the alternative area did not open until much later. As a diabetic, I found this frustrating and could have been medically a problem and as a normal person, not being able to get a coffee was annoying. There was no notification about these facilities and so feel unhappy about the journey home.

The ferries were clean and the public areas well serviced. The staff were very friendly and accommodating in the areas we visited on the ferries and the cinema choices and screenings were good. We were able to visit our pet dog who was travelling in the car once during our travel and found that he was happy and comfortable on the journey.

"Very convenient and comfortable trips"

This was our first time on the Harwich-Hook of Holland route. On the outward trip, everything was absolutely fine - all very straightforward and comfortable. On the way back, certain aspects of the experience really made it fantastic. First, at Hook of Holland, although we arrived very early we and everybody else were able to drive straight onto the ferry. This meant that we had plenty of time to settle down and relax in comfort after the long drive to the port. Second, because it was an overnight crossing, we had booked a cabin. We were both really very impressed with the facilities - extremely comfortable bunk beds, an excellent shower and all really very clean. We slept very well indeed and I was suitably refreshed by the time we arrived in Harwich for another long drive back home. This will now be our standard route for getting to the continent.

A group of three humans and four cats, on their way from Northern Europe to Britain. Luckily we chose Stena from Hoek van Holland to Harwich. The border authorities were a bit fussy about the cats, but not overtly so. The cabins were and probably still are spacious, the breakfast good, the personnel on the ship most professional. We could get into the boat early, about two hours before sailing, had time to take the cats to the kennel in good time. One question though: why the cats could not travel in their owner´s cabin? In a big ship like this one, there could be a few cabins to which people could take pets along. Put briefly: quite ok, even pleasant.

"Harwich to Hoek van Holland"

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.

We used this crossing in the daytime (UK to Netherlands) and overnight for the return trip. The overnight trip was particularly good as the cabin was spacious for the five of us, the bathroom fab, and the beds mega comfy. Our only complaint would that the on-board catering is very expensive considering it's not of very high quality.

"Overall a Good Trip"

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.

"Very comfortable crossing"

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.

From checking in, Cabin, crossing and departure, a perfect crossing. We found the early boarding a relief after a long drive. The Cabin was more than adequate and we slept well. the Shower had enough water pressure and temperatur we found better than in a lot of Hotels. The meal we consumed was very tasty and hot. We will definately use this crossing again. the difference in Price was counteracted by shorter distance and better connections to our departure and arrival destination.

"Gotta be the nicest ferries!"

We cross to mainland Europe and back a couple of times a year and had not used Stena for a good few years. On a recent trip going out, we used PandO from Hull, but to say "we will not repeat that trip" is an understatement! So, it was with some apprehension that we booked our recent return on Stena - what a smashing surprise, to a pitch where we are now firmly committed to using this crossing for the foreseeable future. We could fault nothing and were delighted with the experience.

"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 had the captains cabin on the night ferry. Everything was lovely and we enjoyed the complimentary drinks and snacks. The bed was big nice and soft and the view out of the window was great. Only negative thing was the glass board right above the bed which was supposed to cover up the curtain track. It looked really scary and rather like a guillotine, so we decided to turn around and sleep with the heads at the foot end. Apart from that everything was great. The food in the inexpensive restaurant downstairs was good too and freshly made. We would always book again.

We had a nightmare drive to our ferry, one traffic jam after an other, but after ringing Stena line to assure them we were doing our best to get there on time we arrived late for check in but were allowed on and a really nice crew member showed us how to get up to the top decks (our first time on this crossing). The cabin was great, very clean and easy to find. All the staff were very polite and helpful. After a pretty stressful trip to get there it was great to unwind with a meal and a drink and a sleep in a comfortable bed. We cross regularly to and from Europe and Uk and normally take the Channel Tunnel but after this trip have decided we will definitely travel this way again.

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...

Each time I travel with Stena Line (on the Stena Britannica), I have enjoyed the experience. I have simply been able to stop rushing, stop worrying about the logistics, stop the thoughts of the road traffic and conditions and just be! I start taking time to do things that just done happen in my normal schedule- time to chill out to music or a movie, eat good food, read. I feel safe, welcomed, and really enjoy being on board. Regards the overnight crossings, I do like them as am acutely time aware and feel I can spend my day time getting to Harwich and then get over that long jaunt to the port journey on the ferry, eating, resting and sleeping. I get more sleep in my bunk than I do at home and its something I look forward to and returning from my Hook of Holland commitments. Am returning March...it will be good (again).

"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.

"Map"

Minus point: Unfortunately there was no map of the UK for sale in the shop (we forgot to bring our map). Fortunately, one of your co-workers was kind enough to give us her old road atlas. This proved to be of great value to us, especially when we arrived around 11 pM and lost our way because the A 14 was closed. Nothing but praise!

"Day travel to Holland"

At first I was worried about spending several hours travelling on a ferry and wondering what I would do in that time. The weather was sunny so we sat outside on deck, watched some t.v., had something to eat, then we had arrived in Holland ahead of time! I had a really pleasant trip, all the staff were friendly, and we had the usual English 'stag party'to keep us entertained! All in all, a very pleasant trip. The time flew by. Will certainly do it again especially at that price! Excellent value for money!

"Very pleasant experience"

Together with another couple, we recently travelled from Hook of Holland to Harwich. We were lucky because our cabin had a large, round window and was quite spacious. A good shower and bath area was a total surprise. The crossing back from Harwich to Hook Holland was a little different because we had cabin with no window and the room was smaller but also this time, everything was clean, modern and we had our own bath room. The facilities in general were really good with something for everyone. A good way to travel from the Netherlands to England.

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.

I was able to fulfill my wish to take make the crossing by ferry on the Stena Britannica. It was a wonderful experience. I had a cabin at the bow which was spacious and well done.

"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!

I took the Stena Britannica from Hook of Holland to Harwich last week and thoroughly enjoyed the journey. All the staff from the ticketing agent to to the staff on the ship were great. The evening meal in the Metropolitan restaurant was nicely done, as was the service. My cabin at the bow of the ship was better than I expected. All in all, I was very happy with my journey and experience. This trip was a one-off for me. I had read about the Stena Line and the Britannica and hoped one day to do the crossing.

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.

"More than expected!"

The cabin was fairly simple on the face of it, but we were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. All bedding, towels, shampoos etc provided as you would expect in a basic hotel room. Checkin was simple and efficient so a very smooth process for us. Not a fault of the ferry operator, but we did find the controls after landing at Harwich were very slow, despite being quite early off the ship, we waited over half an hour in a queue to leave. We didn't experience the catering, so can't rate/comment that.

Our two birth cabin was really cosy with a lovely large window and comfy beds, as well as an immaculately clean bathroom and choice of TV channels.

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.

It was a dreadfully long trip from Norway to England and back. We were happy to board the shop long before departure from Hook of Holland. We had a short, but pleasant night on board, so we were not able to make use of all the ship's amenities. We sailed to England with Stena Britannica and returned on Stena Hollandica I think. Comfortable ships. A suggestions: Start a sailing between the western part of Norway and England. That one we would sail with every year!!!! This trip is too long for us to repeat it. Thank you.

We always travel by boat to Holland because the staff are always so very helpful especially as I have a disability and travel with two little dogs. The only downside is the coming into the Britian whilst I fully understand about security it is always very slow where as the Dutch size is always much quicker. On board the boat though I can not fault it or boardding from the uk that is always fine also. I shall continue to travel to visit my family by boat.

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.

In radient sun and calm seas it was easy to enjoy the sailing on board Stena Line's impressive ferry between Harwich and Hook of Holland. The interior design on the ship was lovely and leaves a feeling of spaciousness. We had our dinner in the restaurant and everyone was happy with the food. Even though the ship does not have tax free shops the prices on most items were cheaper compared to Norwegian prices. Next time we will love to sail on this crossing, because this crossing is much nicer than the ferry from Calais to Dover.

"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

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.

"Excellent trip, but take an outside cabine"

We had an excellent crossing, we had an outside cabine which was ideal for two adults and a ten months old. When we go to Holland again we will chose this crossing over Dover Calais.

"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.

"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.

"Recommendable"

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.

"Lovely"

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

We had a wonderful crossing on board the Britannica. It is a beautiful ship and the departure and arrival times were exactly as stated. Embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly. Just a pity that we were not fond of that music at the front of the restaurant. Fortunately, there were some quieter spots further back. At one time everyone fled the lound constant hip hop sound which was blasting through the speakers.

"Good Connecting"

The service between Hook of Holland and Harwich was excellent from the start. We had no waiting in a long queue on the European side of the channel, and very little waiting time on the return journey. With the over-night journey that we made at the start of our holiday meant that we must have a cabin. This was no problem, leaving us refreshed with a good nights sleep on the next day. On the return we had plenty of comfortable seating to choose from. The ships personnel where very helpful and charming. There is plenty of food on board for your hunger and enough fluids to wet the thirst. All-in-all I would recommend this route and service to anyone seeking a connection between the European main land and 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.

"Exactly as advertised"

I recently needed a short notice ferry crossing Harwich- Hoek van Holland (car plus 1 passenger) and booked the day before travel through directferries.com using the Stena Line service. On-line booking/payment was straightforward (my only gripe was the eventual fare being about £60 more than initially advertised - I logged off the site, went to check some diary details and when I logged back on a couple of hours later the fare had increased. Gggggrrrh!I've found this common to various on-line booking systems - Ryanair being the worst offender) Check in and boarding was swift; the large ferry clean and comfortable for the daytime crossing. I had a late and reasonably priced breakfast in the cafeteria, then because the weather was so favourable, sat on deck for the 6+ hour crossing.For those who wished to partake, there were plenty of on-board facilities, including a cinema (at additional cost). Disembarkation in Holland was straightforward, although there was only one passport control booth open dockside which led to long delays for car passengers leaving the port. My return crossing was overnight so I had to book a cabin. Mine was a basic, single, inside unit with en-site: towels and shower gel included - perfectly adequate. I dined in the Maritime restaurant - for a car ferry a reasonable menu selection and swift attentive service. I enquired on the outbound crossing if I needed to book the restaurant and was told at the Purser's desk it wasn't necessary. I'd say its advisable:I went for supper immediately after boarding and before the ship sailed - so around 1915hrs and it was already quite busy with people who hadn't pre-booked tables being turned away. My tip would be to pre-book and request a table either at a window or in the centre row - mine was against the partition with the neighbouring cafeteria and it was very noisy with tired children and short-tempered parents!The pre-set menu at Euros30 is good vale and offers most of what's available on the full menu. Drinks were reasonably priced, but more than you'd pay on-shore. It was interesting to sit there and people watch - lots of passengers clearly imagining they were on a luxury cruise not a car ferry - trying to brow beat staff into accommodating friends who hadn't pre-booked, moving tables, etc., and making really silly demands on waiting staff. One couple even marched in as if they owned the vessel and sat down, demanding to be given menus without waiting to be seated. It was politely made clear, the table they occupied was booked and they left rather sheepishly.It amused me but some people,eh?. I didn't spend much time around the public areas after supper but retired to my cabin for an early night. A very comfortable bunk in a well ventilated cabin and little movement of the ship overnight. Next morning, we'd already docked in Harwich when the early morning wake-up call sounded at 0530am. Disembarkation was scheduled for 0630+ so a hot shower (very hot -be warned!)and breakfast. Breakfast was plentiful but bland and for what it was: expensive a set price of Euros15. The quality was below that of a Wetherspoons pub. There was a snack option available at one of the bars but it seems many passengers either opted for an extra few minutes under the duvet and no breakfast, or brought their own to eat in the cabin. A sensible choice in my opinion. I'd recommend directferries.com for booking crossings. On this occasion they were the cheapest but I can't say that's always the case. I've been looking at a crossing to Ireland for next month, and have found cheaper options elsewhere (Irish crossings are SO expensive compared to those across the Channel/North Sea - why?). I'd also recommend Stena for the Harwich -Hoek van Holland route, but would probably take my own breakfast next time......... directferries.com - 9/10 Stena Line - 9/10

"General on board service"

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.

"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

Having bought the cheapest I could, I assumed I'd have to by another ticket the following day when I finally arrived. However the night I was due to cross Stena Line called me (to check if I was planning to sail that night) and said I could use the same ticket the following day (with a very small surcharge). Very helpful and understanding. I arrived the following day and had a very pleasant crossing.

We booked a seaview cabin with 3 beds and were amazed about the spacious room and bathroom. Very neat, a good shower and a nice big window. Also very efficient boarding and disembarkment. All together a very pleasant way of transport. The only small downside was a rattling picture on the wall, so don't forget to bring earplugs.

"Hook of Holland - Harwich 23/05"

Check in went quick. Everything else was fine too. One minus point is that the bar closes at 11pm UK time. This is rather early for a night sailing that has only set off half an hour before.

"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!

"Finding the port!"

My only problem was finding the port itself. Lots of roadworks and not enough signs to guide you to the port - very difficult if you are travelling on your own. The boat was fine. Enough areas to satisfy all generations. Accomodation comfortable and smart.

"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!

"Fast trip, good food and films"

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.

All went well. No problem boarding, and no long waiting queues. Children enjoyed themselves with the basketball on the court - great! In the morning, it was really quick coming off the ship and signs were clear for our direction. Friendly staff. A20 Between Rotterdam and Hook of Holland was out of action - road closed, and I think has been for a while. It was a little harder to find our way to Hook of Holland. Perhaps give a clear direction of how to get to the ship..?

"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

We made the crossing from Hook of Holland to Harwich in the middle of Februari on the Brittanica, a fairly new ship.

"Recommend booking a room on the ferry!"

We decided to take the night ferry instead of the afternoon ferry to the UK since it would give us more time to reach Hook of Holland (we were driving from Berlin) and because we knew if we took the afternoon ferry we would have to stay at a hotel anyway upon arriving in England. It was so lovely to walk into our room after loading our car and see such comfy beds. My family went off to explore the boat, but I stayed in our room to enjoy the peace and quiet. One suggestion: move the TV up the wall so all can see it -- the TV in our room was really visible only from one top bunk. A relaxing trip; we would take the Stena line and do this again. If you've never been to Hook of Holland, make sure you check out a good map ahead of time -- lots of twists and turns as one makes one's way to the departure berth.

"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.

"everything was great "

A very pleasant voyage. The food is overpriced, but good. For diabetics somewhat difficult to combine because the kitchen staff can not tell what's in the foods one. The cabin, the process and the atmosphere is great.

"Noise on return trip "

On the return trip from Harwich to Holland, I have found very disturbing is that throughout the ship (including the "quiet zone" "(!)) All the time was played over music. I could not really relax and had due the weather is also no way to stop me there.

"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!

"A good place to ride "

We find the two ferries Britannica and Hollandica very successful. Check-in and parallel parking on board is done competently, on time and fast. The outside cabins with large portholes are spacious, clean and comfortable. The atmosphere on board is good, the staff well in all respects. A successful entry and exit for our vacation. Highly recommended.

"A fantastic ferry experience to Holland"

Moving to The Netherlands with a small dog in tow, ferry crossing seems to be the less stressful option. We are very pleased that we can put our dog in the clean, well equipped and air-conditioning kennel with the CCTV we can monitor her from our cabin. Most of all we can visit our dog any time. The ship is very clean and offers a relaxing atmosphere. The cabin and it's bathroom is also nice and clean. Driving to Amsterdam makes easy in less than two hours. We really enjoy our trip and will definitely recommend to anyone.

"Enjoyable journey"

I took this ferry four times already. I always enjoyed the journey. There are a couple of things they have to improve on. First of all give it a good clean. I suggest that on the day trips clean the cabins that are not used. And by that I mean proper vacuum and perhaps carpet and upholstery wash. I'd also improve the dishes served at the restaurant, especially food served hot. It's a little bit boring.

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.

Recent trip to Hook of Holland. Excellent in terms of puctuality, embarking and disembarking, comfort, quality of cabin (much better than, say, Brittany Ferries), free wi-fi access and helpful staff. Only downsides were the fact that wi-fi struggles to cope, very slow or little access at all for most of the journey. Cost of food and drink an issue, with coffee at £3.40 a cup ridiculous. My hunch is if they reduced prices, far more people would use the cafeteria.

"A first to Great Britain, but certainly not the last."

I chose Stena Line because I prefferd to depart rom the Netherlands. After some investigation Stena Line seemd to be the best option. Booked online for my son, myself and a motor bike. The outward journey was on July 22. The cabin on board was nice and clean. Not too big, but eveyrthing you need is present and in working order. We slept well and were woken in the morning with some nice music. The return journey was on August 1st. We had booked two seats in the lounge and that turned out to be a good choice. Pleasant stay in a quiet lounge and free coffee and tea, wine and soft drinks and very tasty peanuts. Also the poop deck was nice for some loitering. It was actually a cruise ship without a swimming pool.

"Great trip, but sort out whether or not you actually want to provide WiFi"

The ship is excellent and the travel went by quickly. I really enjoyed the movie theatre and the fact that there were plenty of ways to distract myself along the trip. If I could make one recommendation it would be to either get a much better WiFi system or remove it all together. Nobody on the ship could connect to anything online regardless of which device(s) they tried to use. It is better to not offer the service rather than claim you have free WiFi but have it be completely useless.

Return trip without complaint. That was great. (Max. some passengers might behave correctly on the seats!) We would book the ferry in the next few years. Moreover, the price was ok about the competence of the staff we have no experience obtained, except that they were all very friendly and there were no incidents. A. Schill PS: it would be worth the release current data for route and travel speed during the crossing. Technical details of the motors, etc. More seats on the outside decks.

We arrived at Hook of Holland in time and could board pretty much straight away…the wait was definitely no more than 20 minutes…no crying, whinging kids…but gloriously sleeping and entreing England refreshed! Highly recommended! It costs a bit more, but it's worth it: friendly staff, clean cabin, lovely shower....excellent!

The trip was in July 13, i had a bit of a problem sorting out the ratchet strap because it had been left in two pieces, there was no protection pad for the seat. The ship was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The cabin was well equipped, i especially liked the web cam view from the bridge on TV. It was easy to find my motorcycle on departure due to the good sign age.

"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.

"Relaxed"

We arrived in Harwich, England well rested to start our tour. Everything went smoothly, parking the car, the possibillity to repose and have a drink and then off to bed. Our cabin ws tidy and the beds were good. Next time we would choose to have two beds besides each other instead of bunk beds, because climbing in and out of the top bunk is rather tricky for us being 65+. We recommend everyone to start their holidaying this way.

"Relaxing way to cross over to England "

If you still have to travel a longer distance in England, the night ferry is a real alternative. It reached England relaxed and rested, giving the family peace in the vehicle but does very well. In any case, an outside cabin (only we can judge) is spacious and well equipped. We will repeat that in any case and recomend it.

"Harwich - Hook of Holland"

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.

"A comfortable journey"

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.

"Excellent Service and would use this route again"

Booking was very easy via Directferries.com website. Due to an accident on the A12 we missed our scheduled departure and so had to sleep in the car park and re-book at 6am next morning. Not ideal as there are no facilities at Harwich after sailings depart, but Stena re-booked us quickly and we were on our way. The ferry was not full and so there was plenty of seating and no queues. We had an outside cabin for the outward, daytime journey and so had the luxury of somewhere to lie down and relax and also TV to watch with a good choice of channels. The outside 2 berth cabin was clean and bright and the beds comfortable, even if getting into the top bunk was rather an effort! Unfortunately the WiFi was not working which was very annoying. The restaurant offers OK food which is pricey, but the portions are large. On the way back overnight we upgraded to a Comfort Class cabin as we had originally booked an inside cabin which was quite small and claustrophobic (and not ever so clean!). However, the upgrade to Comfort Class was worth every penny of the extra £31. There is complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks and snacks. No fruit unfortunately as there had been none available. Single and double beds at floor level, and plenty of room. Nice bathroom as well. Very comfortable nights sleep. Staff are friendly and helpful.

"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!

"Harwich to H.V. Holland"

Ship was fairly new, clean, cabins very nicely appointed and relatively quiet. Only drawback was the late boarding times (approx. 1.1/2 hours delay on docks, after customs clearance), apparently to re-shuffle trucks/trailers. Food is generally good however, this and drink prices are quite "over the top". We decided on breakfast in the coffee shop, 2x Coffees with 2x rolls over 13 GBP (rolls were dry/without butter or margarine, single slice of cheese from a Kraft packet)! On leaving there was an approx. 30 mins. waiting time while all the trucks disembarked first, before off-loading any private cars, vans etc. Clearly the truck business is what the ferry line primarily caters to however this is should not be to the disadvantage of private car passengers.

"A calm comfortable and confident crossing"

The stena line ferries are so modern and stable there was hardly any perceptible movement in the ship during the crossing. The quiet lounge is a blessing very comfortable chairs and good clear views, I didn't sample the restaurants so cannot comment on the catering. I needed to ask staff for traffic routing advice before disembarking in Holland and was given courteous attention and helpful advice. Traffic manoeuvres on and off the ferry are efficiently and speedily handled. It is a pleasure to use Stena line.

"Return from Holland"

We booked a day trip to the Rotterdam area from England because we wanted to avoid a long drive to and from the destination. This boat trip was also financially advantageous than the other options. The boat trip was fine and is was nice on board as we had much to choose from. Prices were normal. Staff was available for everyone and they offered additional service for a fellow passenger who had car problems! Departure and arrival were a bit messy. Especially in Hook of Holland where we had to wait hours before going through customs. There was traffic as a result of people not knowing which queue was meant for which vehicles, no one knew for instance which one was for caravans!

"Crossing in March 2013"

Had a night crossing from the Hook to Harwich going and a day crossing coming back. On night crossings you have no option but to have a cabin, not sure of the reason for this other than it earns money for Stena. Having said that it was clean and comfortable. It was good to sleep the longer journey away followed by a good shower before disembarking. The shower is good, plenty of hot water at "hot". Just one gripe, there was an unpleasant smell in the bathroom. I am just about 2 metres tall and the shower is plenty big enough, the bed as well. The crew were friendly and helpful. Had fish and chips for an evening meal, fish was a little dry, but portions are a good size. I have used Stena line several times before and will use them again.

"Nice way to travel to Holland"

Sailed on they Stena Britannica on a day crossing to Holland in April. Took a while to board the ship as it was very busy. I was tempted to take a cabin, but even though some were available they weren't willing to negotiate and as i didn't want to pay what they were going for, i didn't bother. On the ship itself there was a good selection of restaurants (i ate at Taste which was nice, if not a little over priced) and bars and a cinema showing recently released films. All round i felt that this was a nice way to travel to Holland and pleasant relaxing experience.

"Superferry Indeed!"

Recently travelled on the Stena Britannica from Harwich to Hook of Holland - and I have to say I was impressed! The ships are brand new so everything was top notch from the restaurants through to the bar areas, drinks were reasonably priced on board as was food in the buffet restaurant - there was also A ‘la Carte style dining however we did not visit there. Cabins were spotlessly clean and well equipped, with wider beds than normal ferries and with the addition of flat screen TVs and free Wi-Fi internet - makes this an above average ferry crossing. I would without a doubt use this crossing again.
