Aviation and music Lover I work on Cruise Ships and when you encounter rough weather, the higher and further forward you are, the more you will feel movement - likewise high and at the back. The recommendation in inclement weather is low and in the middle - closest to the pivot point of the motion of the ship. In the olden days, guests used to have the most expensive suites at the top and at the front/back - the catchphrase was ‘the more you pay, the more you sway’.

As a Dutch person having lived in Cambridge for a few decades, this is my favourite crossing. We take the car, book the cheapest huts we can get - still decent - and use the bars onboard. There is also a cheaper daytime crossing without the need to book accommodation, but I prefer sleeping during most of the crossing. Next time, wander around the vessel!

Stenline: FREE MINIBAR in suite rooms... Noel: .. . Challenge accepted....

Since my wife is from East Anglia, we have been doing the Hoek crossing since 1996. To begin with, it was with the HSS catamaran, which used to be the fastest McDonald's in the world and took only something in the region of 4.5 hours to cross. Since that became too expensive to operate, it was withdrawn, and we have seen our fair share of Hollandica and Britannica since. No train journeys yet, it has always been the car, both from the Frankfurt area, where we now live, and from Rutland, where we moved from. We have not done the Captain's Suite, but tried all the others, including the slightly less saloubrious but still very upmarket Captain's Class. I love the showers and the ensuite. We have found that usually, the night crossing from Harwich is interrupted too often for a good rest before the onward journey. The crossing from Hoek used to have slightly better times, and our onward journey would not be as far, so a night crossing was very comfy going that way. However, price usually dictated a day crossing, which requires a very early start in Frankfurt or an overnight stay with friends in Düsseldorf or Cologne. Going from the UK, there is a Premier Inn right next to the ferry port, which we have used numerous times and found very convenient and affordable (beats the cabin fee and you are well-rested when you get on the boat). Oh, I nearly forgot: You can also get a cabin for the day crossing, which you can just pay for after boarding. Inside cabins are nice and dark, so you can have a good rest and a shower, and the price was something in the 35 £ range, but I am sure it has gone up. We haven't been able to get back to the UK since Covid, sadly.

Very interesting video Noel! Especially enjoyed the in depth review of the mini bar, stay safe :)

Hilarious, exactly what I would do if stuck in a room and a mini bar to hand

Best way to cross the North sea! Great review, please go again when all the facilities are open! A meal in the a la carte restaurant onboard is often the highlight of the journey for me!

Brilliant, made me chuckle - drunk Noel is hilarious.

I use this ferry every year to go cycling in the Netherlands and I love it. It can be a lot cheaper if you book a single cabin or even an inside cabin (although I always get one with a window). The restaurant is also very good as is the breakfast

Hi Noel. Loved that ferry ride. I can understand your apprehension about Ferry rides but for me; I am the son of a Ship's Chief Engineer, and had many trips on ships and ferries. I recall the Herald of Free Enterprise capsizing very well as I was a Senior Forensic Investigator until I retired in 2017. The Herald of Free Enterprise incident was one of the foreign cases and Investigations we studied in the course of our profession. My main side of investigations entailed assisting the Homicide Squad to identify certain matters with respect to their enquiries, and my main lines of investigations related to serious rail accidents (suicides; Road/Train accidents. The biggest case I worked on was when A semi trailer collided with a V/Line passenger train near a town called Swan Hill in northern Victoria, killing Eleven train passengers. I had used the Stenna Line to Eire back in 1998 and was that a trip and a half. I have not met so many drunks in all my life as I did on that trip. The run was from Holyhead to Dún Laoghaire and believe me, it was the funniest trip I have ever been on. In 2001; I went back to the UK intending to take the Stenna Line ferry to the Hook of Holland BUT; I had health problems that prevented my from making that trip. Safe travels my friend, and thanks for the enjoyable postings.

Las Vegas used to have a Burger King Whopper Bar inside the Rio. Order one of a kind Whoppers like a Breakfast Whopper (Whopper with bacon, eggs, cheese, some hash browns available in as a Jr up to a triple) while having beers and drinks. That was an epic $20 burger.

Noel, one thing to remember, no matter which form of transportation we take, lots of people gave their lives to make it as safe as it is today. The Herald of Free Enterprise was something that shouldn't have happened, but, we as humans always try to find the short cut, normally we don't pay for those short cuts with a large loss of life, but when dealing with transport, it's a given that to many people will die. That also goes for planes, from the beginning of flight to now, it's sad, but true.

thats a great cabin . makes me want to book a trip just to have the cabin

Another great video Noel, glad you enjoyed the minibar. I was very impressed by the standard of cabins Stena Line have onboard their vessels. I have done the Stena Mersey and Stena Lagan both on the Liverpool to Belfast route, always excellent service. Cannot wait to try their new purpose built Stena Edda on the Liverpool to Belfast route. Stay Safe, keep the videos coming.

came from the family cruise video to see this bit, must say OUTSTANDING speed run of the mini fridge

I love getting those ferries. :-) I used to get them every two weeks when I worked in Arnhem and needed to take the car. The 2 berth cabins are a lot more basic (and no free mini-bar) but they are comfortable and (in normal times) you can get fairly decent food and drink in the restaurant, cafe or bar on the public deck. It's much more civilised than the plane, but as I live near Luton and (in the before time) work in The Hague, easyJet is a lot simpler and cheaper. Way to go on the drinks, by the way - Mixing like a pro! ;-)

A great way to travel. The cabin looked super duper.

Noel has bravely taken tens of "suicidal" flights with african and asian airlines banned to USA and Europe but he is afraid of drowing by getting on one of the largest and most sophisticated car ferries in the world - travelling a short distance... I didn't like Noel in the beginning. I thought he was just another bald british guy imitating "Bald and Bankrupt"! But then I began to respect him big time as I was watching his african and asian "just about to crash" flights, were he always was very calm and composed! Plus, although he looks the guy next door he has a british gentleman's manners and style! All these changed my mind, I like the guy now, I think he is funny and rather often I find myself binging on his videos!

Yayy it's Noel!! Great to see you, brother.

Hull. - Amsterdam Be interesting to see how these two compare!

You apologised to the window when you knocked it hahaha

I am a great fan of your travel reports and I completely understand your boat phobia. Very nice to see you are visiting my country on your way to Sweden. Your videos are always very nice to watch. I loved your maritime vocabulary! Keep up the great work and let’s hope soon we can travel by air again.

I travelled a lot for work too during the pandemic. So weird seeing airports and trains nearly empty. Great video as always Noel 😊

Love how you gave your boarding pass to the lady when you stepped on board. I'm pretty sure that's actually not a thing on ferries. [edit] Shame you didn't show a little more of the ship, common areas, bar etc.

Low cost airlines and ferries seem to be the cheapest option when getting from the UK to neighbouring countries. The Eurostar was crazy expensive when I looked recently.

Hey Noel, you almost outdid me at the mini-bar 🤣👍🏼 An entertaining, enjoyable trip, thank you 🙏🏼

Great video! I see this took place in 2020. Great creative way to get somewhere where you could fly. I love taking trains, and really love taking boats and ferries. I'm retired US Navy :) I'm glad you had a great experience on the ferry and that it wasn't bumpy or anything like that. My personal phobia is flying. Sadly, I haven't been on a plane since 2008. But the more of these videos I watch, the better I'm starting to feel about flying again. I laughed so hard when you went through the entire mini bar. I would have done the exact same thing! But at the age of 59, hangovers just suck so bad, so perhaps not, haha! Glad you were able to do what you needed to do for work.

What a great report that was! Loved seeing you "do" a ship! Curious about two things .. you didnt eat on board .. you went right up to your cabin and also didnt mention breakfast in the AM. Were there no food service facilities on the ship? Also .. the head room in your nice cabin looks a bit low .. was it that or are you just a pretty tall guy? Great report, Noel .. its nice to see you out and about again!

I live 50 km from Hoek van Holland. I visit the UK at least 2 times a year. But I never used the ferry. The night departure is very expensive for a single traveler (the hut makes it expensive). The midday departure from the Netherlands is just to late for me. I visit the yearly Dad's army fan weekend in Thetford. Thetford is a village that is seved by the Greater Anglia train service. So you can travel with the combined Ferry+Train ticket and take a train from Harwich to Thetford. But the day ferry arrive in Harwich around 19.30 hours. That is very late and it is difficult to reach Thetford the same day. I traveled by Plane, Coach and Train between the UK and the Netherlands. The Ferry is simply to expensive. I only pay between €5 and €30 euro's for a flight between the Netherlands and the UK. I can choose a departure time that is convient for me. For a ferrry ticket I pay at least €45 euro's and I have a very restricted choice in departure times.

Tbh I live in Thetford and I only ever take the boat to Holland. I take Stena about 8 times a year and as long as you take the night ferry it’s good and sometimes take the day ferry and it gets late yet sometimes it’s just easier for me. But cause Thetford in the middle of no where getting to Airports is crap as to get to Stansted as I sometimes missed flight soit’s just as easier getting straight to Harwich not feeling to rushed

Loved the video Noel. I’ll need to try this one day!

Brilliant video, and nice to see a ferry journey, that cabin was fantastic

I tend to find planes cramped, uncomfortable and time stressed these days. Trains and ferries seem so much more relaxed. As you saw half an hour departure delay is nothing and doesn't mean arrival delay. There used to be a ferry from Rosyth to Zeebugge that was a delight. I prefer my transport where I can get up, walk around, chill out and enjoy the journey. Check out North Link ferries Aberdeen to Shetland (great fish & chips onboard).

Stena Britannica could do the trip in ~6 hours, so they have very much loose time on the schedule (which is spent sailing slow for fuel economy). 🙂

I didn't even know you could sail from London to Amsterdam. I've done the Newcastle - Amsterdam route a few times, and its wild.

This was a fantastic video. I hope the ferry ride changed how you feel about cruising a little. P.S.- I have enjoyed binge watching your videos while teleworking especially the ones that included family. You have taken flights that are both educational and entertaining for an aviation geek like me.
