There will be plenty of cultural entertainment on offer to people planning Belfast ferry breaks this year, with the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival set to return to Northern Ireland's capital city.
The event will take place in the heart of Belfast between April 30th and May 10th.
Culture vultures interested in seeing what the festival has to offer can take ferries to Belfast from Stranraer with
Stena Line or travel on the Liverpool to Belfast ferry route, which is served by
Norfolkline Irish Sea.
According to Tourism Ireland, the 2010 Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival will be "bigger and better than ever", with a packed programme of performances and events in store.
Highlights will include stand-up comedy gigs, live music shows, street theatre and literary celebrations.
Last year's festival took place at venues such as St Anne's Cathedral, the University of Ulster and the Black Box.
People planning to visit Northern Ireland this year can also take ferries to Larne from Fleetwood with
Stena Line, while
P&O Ferries operates a Cairnryan to Larne ferry route.
