Getting there

Stena Line provide two ultra-convenient crossings each day from Harwich to Hook of Holland and prices start from around £50. A helpful man in overalls provides you with a ratchet strap to secure your bike on deck, so all you need is your passport and motorcycle.

You can reserve cabins and meals at the time of booking – both are highly recommendable - and there’s quite literally a boat-load of ways to entertain yourself on-board.
