A British passenger on board a ferry from the Netherlands to the UK recently found himself virtually alone amid ongoing coronavirus restrictions.

"The Stena Britannica "super ferry" has a capacity of 1,200 and would normally be full during summer," explained the filmer Tony Fisher.

"However due to the quarantine rules, it was virtually empty on August 24th," he added.

The video he filmed shows deck after deck completely empty.

"With barely any passengers staff did not bother opening bars, restaurants, the shop or even the information desk," said Fisher.

"We can only hope the captain was at his post," he joked.

The current advice on the UK government website reads: "If you are returning to the UK from the Netherlands on or after 15 August, you may need to self-isolate on your return."

The Stena Britannica "super ferry" can carry up to 1,200 passengers and would normally be full during the summer months. However due to anyone arriving in the UK having to quarantine for 14 days it was virtually empty during this sailing in August. We see deck after deck, corridor after corridor completely void of people. With barely any passengers staff did not bother opening bars, restaurants, the shop or even the information desk. We can only hope the captain was at his post.
