Harwich to the hook is only around 3.5hr sailing not sure on the europoort sailing ,not much sleep to be had if it’s around the same time,Harwich - Hoek is 6.5 hours day boat, about 8 hours overnight. The HSS used to do the route, but hasn’t been on it for some years.

I must be thinking of the HSS then, it was some time ago when i come to think of it
HSS discovery ceased on the Hoek route around 2006/7. I used to work onboard in the bars. It was expensive to run and actually not used that much in winter due to it not being able to take the pounding the north sea would give it, so the vessel was sent to do the UK Ireland route I believe.
It’s also the reason why Stena Hollandica and Britanica were taken out of service one at a time and had their hulls chopped and extended to take more freight/cars/passengers on the route.
I haven’t been on them for donkeys yrs but they were nice when I last went on.
Is the Irish Sea any better than the North Sea?
