"Prettige reis"
Prettige ervaring, nette hutten, vriendelijk personeel, kortom zou zeker weer met jullie reizen.
"Stena line"
Ferry
"Efficient and comfortable"
Everything that needed to happen happened smoothly and with great efficiency as far as boarding and disembarkation were concerned. The ship itself was reasonably modern in its facilities and comfortable. Prices were reasonable.
"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
"Very comfortable"
Convenient, easy and very comfortable
"Recommend "
Top services
"Professional and comfortable service"
Staff very professional and facilities comfortable. I took a night ferry, the weather was windy so we arrived an hour late. This wasnt a,problem but having woken early for breakfast i was peeved to find the restaurant wasnt open for an hour due to the late arrival. I might have missed an announcement but the notice on the restaurant hadnt been changed to inform passengers.
"Relaxing Travel"
The crossing Harwich / Hook of Holland was perfect both ways clean and comfortable cabin. Smooth and efficient loading and departure.Staff helpful and polite.
"Stena Line provides excellent service"
I have travelled 9 times with Stena Line this year: Harwich-Hook of Holland 2 round trips; Fishguard to Rosslare 1 round trip and 1 trip from Bilbao to Portsmouth. Each trip has been impecable
"Excellent service"
We found the trip was efficient, well organised and the communication was great. A smooth trip.
"Rather Good"
Stena and the Hollandica and Britannica made the 7 hour crossing much less of a chore than I was expecting. Always somewhere to sit, the food was of good quality and reasonable price given the captive audience and embarking and disembarking were a breeze, well done Stena... I will be back!
"Great journey Hoek van Holland to Harwich "
Excellent
"Very good service "
Very nice
"Great experience "
I jave to say it was a great experience. The staff at the port were all super friendly and warm. The boat was immac, the food was decent enough, but the crew on board were the best. Friendly, helpful, and created an atmosphere of welcome. All this on a car ferry I know seems a bit over the top but, a smile costs nothing but is priceless.

"No happy"
Really bad.
"Very good "
Pleasant and relaxing experience, almost a micro cruise.
"Pleasant experience "
What I enjoy the most about the trip was the 2 berth standard cabin, it was very spacious, clean with 2 beds and private bathroom/shower. The ferry was also punctual, border control was fast and efficient. The few minus points: - Main course served on board was bland, accept for the cakes. We prepare food ourselves on the return trip. - It is a small ferry so you might be a bit sea sick
"Efficient"
I'm diabetic and needed to get something in the middle of the night, but the help desk was empty. Luckily for me and another diabetic who had the same problem there were some packs of sugar for drinks, but no drinks! I had to eat white sugar. There should always be someone on the help desk.
"Relaxing way to travel "
Used Stena line for return journey from the Hook of Holland. Chose the overnight option for the first time, including a cabin and we all really enjoyed the experience. The cabin was clean and comfy. We loved seeing all the lights of the port and ships as we left the Hook. Then in the morning, we awoke to views of the countryside near Harwich.
"Perfect"
Everything perfectly
"European Road Trip "
Our trip started and finished by sailing on the Stena ferry, Harwich to Hook of Holland and back. The Stena experience was excellent and a lot cheaper than our other options. We will definitely be travelling that route again.
"Cruise "
Exacelent
"Good trip"
All round excellent trip but the quality of the breakfast was not there this time , taste wise, bit disappointing but can live with it.
"Hoek De Holland & Back"
Great price for return trip. Excellent refreshments & dining. Very clean facilities.
"Very good"
Very good rooms, slept well and food was good
"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.
"Everything just fine"
Good experience & well informed booking information.
"Enjoyable "
Loved the Ferry. Big and spacious . Very comfortable seating . Duty free shop well stocked . Food was good .a 100 times better than sitting in an airplane and no fuss no muss loading the cars on or off . Would recommend this mode of travel if you have time to sit and enjoy the ride.
"Never again. Direct ferries, not Stena who were helpful"
Worst company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. No customer service, now no telephone service at all. Message on answering machine says free to change on website, but charged 75.00 anyway to change sailing due to coved. Now can’t make return boat and can’t contact by phone so lost money. Terrible experience all round.
"Very professional company."
Very easy driving on and off the ferry. Impeccably clean ferry with great facilities. Friendly staff and great duty free shops. Toilets clean but the Dyson hand dryer looked very grubby. Great price on our midweek sailing with the camper van. Overall very pleased.
"Administration "
Direct Ferries are an absolute disgrace to the travel industry, gives the impression that the operations are run from someone's front room. Conveniently unavailable during any crisis, will never be used again by myself or anyone I know who wants to visit Europe. Can't fault Stenna line, they undid the mess made by Direct Ferries and didn't sting me for more money. At one stage Direct Line wanted £170 administrative fees !!!
"Excellent service and comfort"
Very good way to cross river Holland. Very comfortable ship and staff very friendly and efficient.
"Ferry crossing to holland"
