Fast Ferry Daytime Crossings:
 Water
jets propel the Stena High Speed Ship HSS, not propellers. These make it more
efficient at high speed, more manoeuvrable, and reduce draught. The unique hull
design holds the vehicle and passenger decks eight metres above the water. The
vessel carries 375 cars as well as freight vehicles. On board you'll find a wide
range of facilities: restaurants, snack bars, coffee bars, and a small casino in
one of the bars. Crossing time is approximately 3 hours 40 minutes. Minimum
check in 1 hour before departure, even when taking a pet. There are two sailings
each way every day. Club class seats in the panorama lounge are available for a
supplement which includes priority boarding.
Overnight Conventional FerriesTwo new ferries were introduced on to the
Harwich-Hook of Holland Route in late 2000 and early 2001. The Stena Britannica
sailing overnight from Hook of Holland to Harwich and the Stena Hollandica
sailing overnight from Harwich to the Hook of Holland. The new ferries have
excellent facilities. They are predominantly freight ships but there is also
limited space for car traffic on evening sailings, ideal for passengers who find
it more convenient to travel overnight. Full English breakfast and evening meal
are included in the cost. Onboard facilities include a cinema.
 Stena
Line's daytime services between Harwich and the Hook of Holland are operated
by the Stena HSS 1500, the largest fast ferry in the world. Conventional ferries
operate overnight for those who wish to arrive fresh for their journey into
Europe. The port of Harwich is 84 easy miles from London via the A12. The new
A14 dual carriageway links the port to the M1, the M11 and Eastern England, and
this is the only crossing from East Anglia to the Netherlands. Within a few
kilometres of arrival in Holland you join the motorway network to Amsterdam,
Rotterdam and the rest of Europe.
