We cannot book this travel for you, as it requires your own Passport and (if necessary) visa arrangements.
Out
For the ride out, we all try to book the same ferry:
- Click to turn off the “
Including Calais” option. - Then click the “
12-18” button to limit your time range.
Try to select the 2pm ferry, but if you can’t, then the 4pm ticket will work just as well (we can board ferries before and after the ones we’re booked for).
Return
We recommend taking the Stena Line ferry from Hoek van Holland to London via Harwich. You can order a “Rail&Sail” ticket that leaves on the evening of the 9th, and permits you and your bike a journey straight through to Liverpool Street.
Don’t forget to make sure you’re on the “Hook of Holland → Harwich” journey, and that you select “With vehicle” so you can enter your bike onto your ticket.
You will need to book a cabin for the overnight journey, but this cost can be shared with a friend and it saves you the cost of a hotel stay in Amsterdam.
You can take your bike on off-peak trains from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, and then on the metro to Hoek van Holland Haven.
The one interchange that often trips people up is the ride off the ferry on the morning of the 10th. If you follow the route above, you will find level access to the railway platforms at a level crossing around behind the station. This is by far the simplest way to get your bike in place for your morning train journey back to London.
