Irish Ferries to offer more time ashore for Cherbourg visitors

Travellers planning to visit France by taking ferries to Cherbourg from Rosslare with Irish Ferries will be able to spend more time ashore over the coming autumn and winter seasons.

The company announced that it was introducing an earlier off-season mid-week departure time from Rosslare ferry port.

On Wednesdays and Fridays during the autumn and winter, sailings will leave Ireland at 21:30, with Sunday departures continuing to operate at 18:00 along with return crossings from Cherbourg at 21:30.

Passengers travelling on the Rosslare to Cherbourg ferry service will benefit from an extra 90 minutes ashore for "low-cost wine and DIY shopping", Irish Ferries revealed.

The operator has reached a deal with one outlet in France, the Normandie Wine Warehouse, which will see passengers offered discounts of up to 12.5 per cent on certain products.

On the weekend of October 23rd and 25th, Irish Ferries will be operating a mini-cruise on its Rosslare to Cherbourg ferry route that will include tastings with wine writer and broadcaster Martin Moran.

The company also operates ferries to Dublin from Holyhead as well as a Pembroke to Rosslare ferry service.
