Sail direct to Holland with Stena Line’s new Superferries

With the launch of the second of the two largest Superferries in the world, the Stena Britannica, on 9th October of 2010, Stena Line’s Harwich to Hook of Holland route offers an even more comfortable way to sail direct to Holland from the south of England.

No expense has been spared in building the ferries of the future. The launch of Stena Britannica follows Stena Hollandica, which entered service in May, and together they represent Stena Line’s largest ever investment of over £375 million.

Harwich - Hook of Holland sailings

The ships together sail the route between Harwich and Hook of Holland, offering daily day and overnight sailings in both directions. A world away from the traditional ferries of years gone by, the Stena Line Superferries offer onboard services including free Wi-Fi for all, mobile reception throughout the crossing and satellite television in lounges and cabins. There are buffet and a la carte restaurants, a cinema, bar, lounge, media room and internet corner. There are even children and teenager zones to make the crossing fun for families, 12 kennels for dogs and a wooden-decked sundeck to allow passengers to relax outdoors during their journey.

Onboard, there are 538 cabins, each fitted with Dux beds, the Swedish luxury brand beds also found in the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, and modern en suite bathrooms with Hansgrohe fittings. Larger windows provide a feeling of space and light, while extra touches, such as the complimentary Piper-Heidsieck Champagne in the Captain’s Class cabins, add to the first class service onboard.

Eco-friendly

Environmentally-friendly features haven’t been overlooked either: catalytic convertors, an improved hull design, highly efficient engines and better combustion rates all help to reduce the Superferries’ environmental impact.  There are recycling facilities onboard as well as solar film on all windows which exclude up to 82% of the sun’s radiant heat.

Day and night sailings

Each Superferry can transport 230 cars, 300 freight vehicles and 1,200 passengers.  Departing twice daily, the crossing takes around 6½ hours with day and night sailings in each direction.
