Has anyone ever used this ferry route.

If I am right I think it was used in the 80's a lot by people who used to drink a lot and it was like a 24 hour party cruise so nobody got any peace and quite or rest.

I am thinking of using this route in July but 24 hours over night without any sleep sounds a bit worrying.

You can book a cabin but they are quite expensive.

It does look like a good deal as they allow caravans on for free on Sundays so return trip for £220.

I am hoping someone will have done this route and will tell me it is now an enjoyable crossing.

Mainly a freight route these days, different ferry so no 'booze cruises' afaik. I used the route yrs ago with my truck, the ferries were always good & its not quite 24hrs, leaves early evening & arrives lunchtime. Looking at website cabins appear mandatory & usually are on this sort of route so add another £200.

A good alternative might be a day crossing Harwich-Hook on Stena Line & drive up to Denmark, toll free motorway all the way & I recall I could do Hook to Danish border in under 9hrs in my truck.

Thanks for your reply.

You are right you do have to book accommodation and that hikes the price up to nearly £600 so I will not be going that route.

Looks like it might just be a trip to France instead.

Not much I can add to Tentz' reply. Nowadays (or it was the last time we used it a few years ago) the ferry is not much more than a load of cabins with not that much to speak of in the way of public areas. One tip for anyone who does go on the ferry is to book your evening meal as soon as you can when you get on (or even in advance if they allow that) - you can't just turn up to the (only) restaurant on spec and if you don't get in early you might have to wait till very late to eat. It's a pleasant enough ship but other than having a drink in the quite small bar there's nothing else to do other than to go to your cabin. Not like the ferries used to be on this route.
This is one of the reasons we always fly and hire a car now when we go to Denmark.
