The ferry port of Hoek van Holland lies in the far west of the Netherlands at the mouth of the Nieuwe Waterweg into the North Sea and administratively belongs to the city of Rotterdam. Ferries have run from here to eastern England since 1893, with a break during the world wars; today Stena Line operates regular services to Harwich.

Rotterdam lies in the Dutch province of South Holland where the Rhine and the Meuse flow into the North Sea, and with the largest deepwater port in Europe it is home to one of the most important seaports in the world. Ferries run regularly from the ferry port to Hull in England, taking travellers to Britain overnight.
