There are two ferry operators on the Holyhead to Dublin route. In addition to Irish Ferries, Stena Line also operates the route although it's high speed service serves south Dublin. Both companies operate a large cruise ferry as well as a high speed vessel. Irish Ferries' cruise ferry 'Ulysses' is the largest car ferry in the world and Stena's equivalent... more

Have travelled with Irish Ferries well over 30 times and its competitors once on both routes just to see. No comparison great service great food and always a smile. Glad to know i can trust Irish Ferries to get me home safely. more

For convenience we had booked on the late fast sailing with Irish Ferries, from Holyhead to Dublin. The first notice that we had the sailing might be in doubt due to bad weather came by email a couple of days before. Alternative sailings on the 'big ship' were suggested. A further email and then a SMS/text message followed with the... more

Irish Ferries is the only designated Eurailpass link between isolated Ireland and continental Europe. For years, their service was "free" within the pass, just like the links between Italy and similarly-isolated Greece across the Adriatic still are. But NOW their prices are insane, even with their so-called Eurail 30% discount. We paid $1600 for a 15-day first class Eurailpass for... more

Travelled with Irish Ferries 23 July 09, Roscoff to Rosslaire. Have travelled Cork/Roscoff for several years now, mainly on their new ship Pont Aven. Disapponted with Irish Ferries and their staff, and their so-called 'flagship' boat. Restaurants hugely over-priced and food poor. Duty-free considerably dearer that Brittany ferries - tobacco. Poor wines selection - mostly Australian 'Jacob's Creek'!! Staff looked... more

I travelled back from Roscoff to Rosslare on June 11th 2009 and just wanted to say that myself, husband and 2 girls age 5 & 2 really enjoyed the journey. The clown who did the magic show was excellent - he really made the difference to the journey. The Clown and Magic show started around 8.30pm for an hour in... more

I run a light removals / courier business and travel on board the Ulysses travelling Holyhead - Dublin - Holyhead throughout the year. I've generally found crew are always pleasant and friendly, the ships clean and tidy and the food of a good standard. I travel throughout the year, in all weathers and although the Jonathan Swift (fast craft) is... more

In June we travelled on the Oscar Wilde, from Roscoff to Roslare and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was stress free and very relaxing. The staff at all levels were helpfull, polite and accomodating. We dined in the Bernaval where the food, wine, service and musical entertainment was excellent. The entire Ship was spotlessly maintained and our cabin was very... more

We travelled on the Oscar Wilde to Roscoff in May and I must admit it was one of my better experiences on board a ship. Facilities are really very good with a good choice of restaurants and bars available. We had dinner at the Steakhouse and both the food and service were excellent. After dinner we went for some drinks... more
