Stena Line Hook of Holland - Harwich great rail & sail between Amsterdam & London

The connection by boat between Hook of Holland, near Rotterdam in The Netherlands & Harwich has always been a great connection for rail passengers between Europe & Great Britain. Even though Hook of Holland doesn't have international trains anymore and the local domestic trains have been replaced by a metro, this is still a great connection for railway passengers as well between The Netherlands & Great Britain. Due to the short travel time, the night crossing is also very time efficient.
You find a goof public transport connection on both sides of the water, making this a perfect link between for example Amsterdam & London but also other cities in The Netherlands like The Hague & Rotterdam (and even Belgium, Germany and for passengers traveling more to Northern Europe) and the UK. From Harwich international you also find direct trains to Cambridge for example.

On this route there are two vessels, the Stena Hollandica & the Stena Brittanica. These ships are identical from each other, so you always have a ferry that looks very similar.
