Harwich to the hook

[Ads86]

Hi all

Leaving the UK again this weekend, sailing from Harwich to the hook of Holland on Sunday. Has anybody done this trip recently with any advice?

Any place recommendations to stay would be great. Either side of the water. Heading towards Amsterdam and hamburg after the boat to see friends then down through Germany towards Austria and ending up in Italy for a couple of months. Then driving home for Christmas.

Cheers

We are booked on the 9am sailing on Sunday Harwich to Hook of Holland. Hoping for a smooth crossing following on from a rough crossing on the Bay of Biscay last year. If your on the same boat, we are travelling in our Elddis Autoquest 196 to the Baltic States. Bon voyage!

Not been for I think 4 years. Give yourself plenty of time to get from the A12 at Colchester or Ipswich and Manningtree to Parkeston Quay, as the last few miles can be very slow. Crossing itself is usually very good. Usual services on the ferry and the food has varied from awful to excellent. Take care coming off the other side as it's easy to end up on the wrong side of the road until you pick up the A20 after which it's a doddle.

Sailed from Harwich 3 weeks ago, stayed the night before onHarbour Cresent, near the redoubt fort, lovely peaceful night, no problems. Macy’s in the morning for breakfast then onto ferry. As somebody else said get yourself a Stenna loyalty card.
