About Stena Line Ferries
Stena Line was founded by Swede Sten Allan Olsson in 1962, and is now one of the world's biggest and busiest ferry operators.
The traffic statistics of over 17 million passengers (translating to 3.2 million vehicles) travelling with Stena Line in 2004 certainly qualify this. Stena Line now operates four routes in the UK, after aquiring Sealink British Ferries in 1990.
The Stena Explorer made her maiden voyage on the Holyhead - Dun Laoghaire route on 10th April 1996, offering what is considered by many as an unparalleled level of service on ferries to Ireland.
Traveling with Stena Line across the sea is a perfect way to travel, from the moment you drive or walk onto the ferry, to when you wave goodbye to the mainland, to when you arrive at your destination port, you will travel in a first class environment.
Onboard Stena Line ferries you can relax and enjoy good food, shop at a fine selection of retailers, enjoy the bracing sea air and the lifestyle of an ocean voyage, whilst planning your next steps in the country of your destination.
Stena Line has a vast network that covers the Irish Sea - bridging both England and Scotland to Ireland, and also the North Sea routes to Scandinavian countries to the North and East.
Harwich / Hook of Holland 2007 Service Changes
At the beginning of 2007 the Harwich - Hook of Holland ferries Stena Britannica and Stena Hollandica will be enlarged and refurbished to create more passenger capacity and to improve onboard comfort and facilities. Both refurbished ships will be operating on the route from May 2007. The Stena HSS Discovery will leave the route on 8 January 2007 and from then on Stena Line are offering two daily departures from Harwich and Hook of Holland. One convenient day sailing and one relaxing overnight sailing.
The total investment in lengthening and refurbishing the ships is over £70 million - Stena Line's largest ever in a project of this kind - and will make the ships the largest of their type at 240 metres each.
Improved Onboard Facilities
Onboard you'll find two restaurants, a bar, cinema, shop and children's play area. Renovated cabins of various sizes to suit singles, couples and families will offer the opportunity on overnight sailings to relax, sleep onboard and arrive refreshed in Holland the next morning, and on day sailings offer a quiet haven to relax in peace.
Crossings will take 6hrs 15 mins with a day and overnight sailing daily from Harwich and from the Hook of Holland. Sail during the day and a single trip for car plus driver starts from £49, or sail overnight, sleeping onboard and arriving early next morning in Holland, with prices for overnight sailings from £89*.
Revised Harwich Hook of Holland Ferry Scheduling
During the period of refurbishment, the Stena Trader operates in place of the Stena Britannica from 18 January to 10 March, and in place of the Stena Hollandica from 11 March to 8 May. The Stena HSS Discovery operates until 8 January, when the route moves to a different timetable. The withdrawal of the Stena HSS Discovery has been necessitated by the very high increase in oil prices in recent years, which make the continued operation of the Stena HSS Discovery on the route untenable.

Stenaline's operational area is divided into three very distinct zones, each with their own particular character:-
Stena Line's routes on the Irish Sea are Stranraer-Belfast, Holyhead-Dublin, Holyhead-Dun Laoghaire, Fishguard-Rosslare and Fleetwood-Larne.
Routes on the Irish Sea include private travel and freight, with a high proportion of customers travelling several times per year. Stena Line is the largest ferry operator on the Irish Sea with over 3 million passengers travelling on our routes every year.
Within the North Sea business area, Stena Line operates the routes Hoek van Holland-Harwich, Hoek van Holland-Killingsholme and Rotterdam-Harwich.
The North Sea routes are operated by RoPax vessels and a high-speed ferry, and provide the fastest direct ferry link between Northern Europe and Great Britain for freight as well as passengers travelling by car, train or bus. The three routes are very popular with freight customers, although many private customers also travel between Holland and Great Britain . The oldest of the three routes, Harwich-Hoek van Holland, has been in operation since 1989.
The routes included in Scandinavia are Göteborg-Frederikshavn, Varberg-Grenaa, Helsingborg-Helsingør, Göteborg-Kiel, Göteborg-Travemünde, Trelleborg-Travemünde, Trelleborg-Rostock, Trelleborg-Sassnitz, Karlskrona-Gdynia and Oslo-Frederikshavn.
Stena Line started originally with passenger traffic between Göteborg and Denmark , and these routes still form the backbone of the business with more than 2 million passengers per year. Stena Line is market leader on the routes between Sweden and Denmark . Transport passengers (private customers with car) are our main business, but there is also strong interest in cruises and package tours to Denmark . A considerable amount of freight transport is also handled.
Stena Line's most popular route to Germany is Göteborg-Kiel, a route for passengers and freight that has operated since 1967. During the days of duty-free, the Göteborg-Kiel route was also a popular entertainment cruise. Today, transport passengers form the most important segment on this route. However, investments are also being made in conference and entertainment cruises. Göteborg-Travemünde is purely a freight route. The routes between Trelleborg and Germany are run under the management of Scandlines AB and attract both freight and private customers.
The Oslo-Frederikshavn service was started in 1979, and is one of Stena Line's oldest routes. More than 70 per cent of guests onboard are Norwegians. The main product on this route is cruises with themes and onboard concepts that are customised to different passenger groups. Typical examples are dance band, hip-hop, student cruises and quiz weekends. Other product groups are transport/package, conference and freight.
Stena Line's route between Karlskrona and Gdynia has expanded strongly during recent years and interest is steadily growing among private and freight customers in both Sweden and Poland . Stena Line started operating between Karlskrona-Gdynia in 1995 through its subsidiary Lion Ferry, but has operated under the Stena Line name since 1998. Stena Line is market leader in package tours between the two countries, with bus and group travel forming a large target group.
