You can currently reduce costs by 25% on 2026 Holland sailings when you book by November 16th for travel between April 1st and November 30th, 2026.

Bundle and Cut Costs with Ferry & Hotel Packages
One of the smartest ways to reduce your travel budget is by booking a complete package through Stena Line's partnership with Sembo. When you combine your ferry crossing with hotel accommodation, you'll cut up to 20% from your ferry ticket compared to booking everything separately.
These packages work particularly well for:
- Weekend breaks to Belfast or Dublin
- Longer holidays in Holland or other European destinations
- Family trips where you need both transport and accommodation
The booking process is streamlined too, so you're not juggling multiple reservations or worrying about timing.

You'll earn points even when you're using promotional offers, so your discounted bookings still contribute to future benefits. It's a simple way to make your travel budget stretch further over time.
