Dublin ferry crossings will prove popular among rugby fans next year when the Irish capital serves as one of the host cities for the 2010 Six Nations tournament.
Ireland will play three of their five matches at Dublin's Croke Park stadium.
Italy will be the first visitors on February 6th, followed by Wales on March 13th and Scotland on March 20th.
People interested in attending any of these games can take ferries to Dublin from Liverpool with P&O Ferries or
Norfolkline Irish Sea.
Another option is the Holyhead to Dublin ferry route, which is served by
Irish Ferries and
Stena Line.
English fans will also be considering taking ferries to France to see what could be a crucial game in the 2010 Six Nations, with France set to play England in Paris on March 20th.
Travel options include the
Dover to Calais ferry route, which is served by P&O Ferries and
Seafrance, and
LD Lines' ferries to Le Havre from Portsmouth.
Other stand-out fixtures in next year's Six Nations series include Wales' meeting with Scotland in Cardiff on February 13th and Italy's home game against England the following day.
