"Superferry Indeed!"

Reviewed 11 August 2011 by Sam

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.

"Nice way to travel to Holland"

Reviewed 11 April 2012 by A Jones

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.
