"A comfortable overnight ferry"
Located in the English county of Essex, the town and port of Harwich lies on the North Sea coast, on the estuaries of the River Stour and River Orwell. Operated by Stena Line, Harwich ferry port to Holland is the most popular Harwich route, arriving in the Hook of Holland.

The Port of Harwich also accommodates cruise ships that continue on to destinations in the Mediterranean, the Baltic Sea and beyond.
Its proximity to the sea has resulted in the town having a well-established, long history with both the military and merchant navy. In 1652, the town became a naval base and was heavily fortified with Harwich Redoubt, Beacon Hill Battery and Bath Side Battery. Containing many historic buildings, Harwich's old town has been declared a conservation area.
The Hook of Holland is a port town located in the west of The Netherlands and lies at the mouth of the Nieuwe Waterweg Ship Canal flowing to the North Sea. Run by Stena Line, most ferries arrive from Harwich in England, in approximately seven hours.
The Hook of Holland ferry terminal facilities include a convenience store, a cafe and bar, while all Stena Line ferries have shops, currency exchange services, an information desk, well-equipped lounge and casino on-board for your entertainment.
The town itself, which derives its name from its geographical location in the south western corner of Holland, is of historical significance. Its strategic location meant it was used by the Germans in World War II, but, aside from this, it’s a beautiful town to visit in summer, with one sandy beach stretching from the town to Scheveningen, almost 18 km away.
