Stena Germanica is a large cruiseferry operated by Stena Line between Gothenburg and Kiel, together with the Stena Scandinavica. Between 2001 and 2010, as Stena Hollandica she operated on the Harwich to Hook of Holland service.
History
Stena Germanica was built by Astilleros Españoles shipyard in Puerto Real, Spain. She entered service between Harwich and Hook of Holland on 9 March 2001 as Stena Hollandica.[3]
In January 2007, the high speed ferry Stena Discovery was withdrawn from service. To accommodate the extra traffic the Stena Hollandica was sent to the Lloyd Werft yard in Bremerhaven in March 2007 for lengthening. The vessel was cut in two vertically and a 52-metre section was inserted, making this the biggest enlargement ever made to a RoPax vessel.[4]
