Stena Line has completed a €1 million refurbishment on its two largest vessels, Stena Holland and Stena Britannica, which operate between Harwich, UK, and Hoek van Holland, Netherlands.
The ferry operator has extended the floor space in the duty-free shops by 40 per cent on both vessels. Passengers are able to save up to 50 per cent off UK high street prices .
In addition, Stena Line has introduced new dog-friendly cabins to accommodate for the growth in dog ownership during the pandemic. The line has converted 15 cabins on each vessel to allow passengers to travel comfortably with up to three dogs.
The Barista Bars and Captain’s Suites have also been refurbished in a Scandinavian style to improve the onboard experience and match Stena Line’s customer expectations.
“Our annual dry dock programme is key to keeping our vessels shipshape and continue looking so good,” said Erik Thulin, trade director for the North Sea at Stena Line. “It also allows us to be flexible in responding to our customers’ demand, so we’ve taken the opportunity to extend our onboard duty-free offer to provide for more products and more bargains for our customers.
“We are also pleased to offer our first ever dog-friendly cabins. We listened to our many customers who have requested this option and they can now have up to three dogs with them in each of our 15 dog-friendly cabins. We looking to forward to welcoming all our customers, including out four-legged friends back on newly refurbished vessels on the North Sea.”
Stena Hollandica and Stena Britannica each have capacity for 1,200 passengers and can carry 300 trucks and 230 cars.
