Introduction

When travelling between the United Kingdom and the Netherlands on Stena Line, you have the choice of travelling either during the day or during the night. If travelling at night, stated fares include a private cabin. The sailing takes around 6hrs 45mins, but you must remember to allow 45mins check-in time.

Stena Line

Stena Line is one of the world's leading ferry operators. The company operates in Scandanavia, the North Sea and the Irish Sea, with 18 routes in total, served by 35 ships. Depending on your route, you may be onboard a Stena HSS (fast ferry), a traditional car and passenger ferry, or a combined freight and passenger ferry.

If you are travelling on an overnight sailing between Harwich and Hook of Holland, you must pay for a cabin. All cabins are private, with both inside and outside cabins available (outside basically means that the cabin has a window - these are more expensive).

All cabins on board the Stena Line ferry have en-suite bathroom facilities, flat screen televisions, free WiFi access, towels and toiletries and a bureau. If you opt for a more luxurious cabin (Comfort and Captain's Class), you will get tea and coffee making facilities and complimentary minibar (including alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and snacks).
