What Is The Cheapest Option To Travel From Harwich To Rotterdam As A Ferry Passenger With No Vehicle?
December 13, 2009 | In: Travel
Which carrier?
Is it cheaper and is it possible to join someone already with a car and travel as an “additional adult”?
I am flexible on day and route of travel.

There is only one company doing that ferry connection.
Here is a link to the ferry company:http://www.stenaline.co.uk/ferry/
The price is a car plus one person, so extra additional passenger will have to pay extra. Therefor it is almost impossible that someone will allow you to hitchhike across the sea. And there is always the risk of a hitchhiker smuggling, so not many people will allow extra passengers anyhow.
If you want to travel from London or one of a few other cities in England, you may be better off with a ticket from London to any place in the Netherlands:http://www.stenaline.co.uk/ferry/rail-an…
The site of the man in seat sixty-one has more info on this crossing, as well as on alternatives, (traveling via France for instance,)http://www.seat61.com/Netherlands.htm
Added:
Your ticket as foot passenger would be 26 pound, the extra charge for an second or further passenger is lower, from 11 pound, but as the extra tickets have to be booked at the same time as booking the car, I do not expect anybody to ask you to travel with them.
And of course, once aboard you would take your gear and leave the people you came aboard with, but checks for smuggling can/will be before boarding. And people will fear that you leave something in the car to be smuggled and will break into the car once across the border on the other end.
