Irish Ferries

I recently went over to the west of Ireland for a holiday with my mum, I ended up using Irish ferries for a few different reasons. Firstly, the rout we took was from Pembroke in South Wales, to Rosslare in County Wexford. This was the nearest departure point from our home, so this was nice and simple. I looked at both Irish ferries and Stena Line, because they do a very similar route with similar times. To start with, Irish ferries website, is a lot more user friendly. It is easy to navigate to where you want to go, and everything seems to follow a nice order, and is easy to find. Secondly, the price you see, is the price you ...  Read the complete review

I recently opted to book to be in Dublin and further into Ireland over the Bank Holiday weekend with my wife. Little did we know we would be joining thousands of people in Dublin who were going to Slane Castle for a concert to be given by a popular local beat combo called U2. Notwithstanding that Dublin was busy I was surprised just how easy it was to book using Irish Ferries own web site. I have booked a few things on the web now and ordered many things. As each month goes by I seem to use it for shopping and bookings more and more. There is no doubt if sites are as easy to use as this one it will happen more and more. I had tried to book with Stena ...  Read the complete review

This was my main means of travel from the Uk to Ireland until recently. I usually travel between Holyhead and Dublin, many times a year and would ALWAYS travel with Irish Ferries. I next plan to travel in May and decide to book a few days ago, I was absolutely shocked in the difference in price between Irish Ferries and another leading Ferry company operating on these routes. The last few times I travelled with Irish Ferries, we were delayed, the ship felt crowded and cramped and disembarkment was unusually slow. The food was over-priced and undercooked! On a whole I used to recommend Irish Ferries as the only means of travel to Ireland ...  Read the complete review

I recently travelled to Dublin with Irish ferries on the new Ulysses superferry, and the service was great. The claim that Ulysses is the biggest ship in the world seems a bit unlikely when you are on the passenger decks, but I think that much of the space is taken up by the vast car decks, as the ferry carries many lorries. The service is great, especially when compared with the competition - Stena Line's HSS service, which although a little faster is not very smooth (no good for those with no sea legs!), only one deck and lacks anything to keep the traveller entertained or interested. Irish ferries also have the upper hand in that they have access to ...  Read the complete review

A frequent traveller on the Holyhead/Dublin route, I have travelled with Irish Ferries numerous times, and much prefer them to Stena Line (who are their main competitors). The ferry that runs from Holyhead to Dublin is called the Isle of Inishmore. It's sister ship, the Isle of Innisfree, travels from Fishguard. The journey from Holyhead to Dublin takes approximately 3.5 hours. The Isle of Inishmore is known as a 'cruise' ferry and is only a few years old, because the ship is so large, you don't tend to feel it swaying as much as you would a smaller ferry. This is a godsend when you get as travel sick as I do! Inside the ship is ...  Read the complete review
