Hey,
Going from Dublin I took a morning ferry to Holyhead, crossed the UK and took overnight ferry from Harwich to Hook of Holland. The ferry is excellent, they also allow you to board really early, so you can go to sleep and rest fairly early too. HofH arrival is quite an early one. Get a cabin, they even have single ones. I'm not sure if it's even possible to book this one overnight without the cabin, but even if it is, please book cabin. :-)
I then spent a long and boring day riding Dutch and German motorways and stayed overnight in a camping just after crossing Danish border. I was there around 7-8pm that day.
Next day I started very early, around 6am, to catch 9 or 10 am ferry from Hirtshals to Kristiansand. That meant I was in an enjoyable part of Norway already by noon on 3rd day after leaving Dublin.
I would recommend this route. Second day is boring but oh well.
