Ireland ferry breaks 'plain sailing'

The range of ferry services available across the Irish Sea means that travelling to Ireland will be "plain sailing" this summer, according to the country's tourism agency.

Tourism Ireland pointed out that the 15 available routes and 277 weekly crossings guarantee a "comfortable and reliable" journey and allow travellers to reach their destination from Britain in as little as 90 minutes.

Stena Line is one of the leading providers of Irish Sea sailings, with regular ferries from Holyhead to Dublin and Dun Laoghaire, while Irish Ferries serves the Holyhead to Dublin and Pembroke to Rosslare ferry routes.

Tourism Ireland highlighted the benefits on offer to people who decide to take the maritime route, such as the freedom of taking a car and being able to bring as much luggage as the vehicle can carry.

Several events will be taking place across Ireland over the coming weeks and months, such as the Summer Sensational festival in Dublin from July 8th to 11th and Belfast's Taste and Music Fest from August 4th to 8th.

Norfolkline offers ferries from Liverpool to Belfast, while Stena Line operates sailings on the Stranraer to Belfast ferry route.
