Stack savings with Stena Line’s loyalty programme
If you sail with Stena Line regularly, its loyalty scheme “Stena More” is an easy way to save on top of vouchers or discounts. Earn points on travel, upgrades and onboard purchases, which can be redeemed on future bookings and extras. There are also exclusive member prices and flash deals.
Membership tiers
There are three Stena More tiers: Blue, Gold and Platinum. Here’s a breakdown of the benefits and how to climb them:
Visit Stena Line offers
Stena Line has a special offers page dedicated to ferry deals that makes finding the right offer easy. It’s updated regularly, so worth browsing through to see if there’s a new promotion available.
Another way to stay up to date on new promotions, along with news and travel tips, and discounts is to register for the Stena Line newsletter. You will find the newsletter registration box at the bottom of most pages on the website and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Use the Stena Line low fare calendar
One of the easiest ways to save is by being flexible with dates. Stena Line’s low fare calendar highlights the cheapest days to travel. This means you can pick the cheapest available slot and combine it with a voucher or loyalty discount for even cheaper travel.
If your plans are flexible by a few days either side, this tool may even save you more than a coupon could.
Partner and business discounts
There are more ways to stack your savings if you are members of any of the following parter brands:
What to know before you book
Kids go free
Stena Line lets all children up to the age of three travel for free and regularly runs kids go free offers during selected periods. Keep an eye on the special offers page before completing your booking, to ensure you aren’t missing extra savings.
Stena Line pet policy
Pets (including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters) are allowed if booked ahead in a pet-friendly cabin or kennel. There is a maximum of two pets per cabin booking and smaller pets must stay in a carrier and remain inside it whilst on the ferry.
If your pet stays in the vehicle (selected routes), there may be an extra charge, but amenities such as pet lounges or kennels usually must be booked in advance.
Stena line has pet guidance for each of its routes, so that you know what documents are required to travel with your animal.
Amendment and cancellation terms per fare type
Stena Line offers three different fare types (economy, flexi and premium). The more flexible the fare, the more leeway there is for refunds or changes.
If you amend your booking and your new fare is more expensive, then you’ll have to pay the extra cost. We recommend always checking the small print before booking and taking out travel insurance as extra cover.
Getting ready for your trip
Checking in
Stena Line’s check-in windows vary by port and route. In general, aim to arrive two to three hours before departure for crossings with vehicles and no later than one hour before in many cases. You can see a breakdown of timings, along with what to bring with you, on the the check-in information page.
