"ferry crossing"
easy to book , great for information on discounts available, always use this site. Although ferry was delayed due to the wind and weather, good crossing otherwise

Everyone on the boat was very professional can’t fault anything my return trip was in doubt for to bad weather but had plenty of warning on email and a lovely young lady called me up to arrange getting onto another boat at no charge excellent service thank you Beaty much
"Good personal"
Very good personal
"Grand trip "
All good with the exception of stale pastry with the coffee deal.
"Return trip"
Everything was ok
"Home trip"
Good service, but the food is so bad and well over priced
"Journey home "
Came home from UK on Inishfree yesterday, I'm not a good sailer 🤢 so I wasn't looking forward to the journey. I paid extra for a seat €20 which turned out to include priority boarding and access to the Club class lounge, very well worth the money. The crossing turned out to be comfortable as was the whole experience. Very pleased.
"Overall pleasant "
Facilities are very good on the ship, very organised getting on and off the ship, the only downfall is Hot food is expensive so bring your own if possible.
"prices "
Cabin prices was different, from IE to UK it was 39€ and on the way back it was 50€.
"Smooth Sailing"
Lovely crossing to the UK and back with Irish Ferries. Got a Club Class ticket. Definitely worth it. Priority boarding and complimentary tea/coffee with snacks whenever we felt like it. Staff were courteous and helpful. Thank you
"Good and not so good"
Punctuality, cleanliness, the crew, no complaints about any of that. I will travel with them again. My only two negative comments are that the free wifi is virtually useless and the lack of vegan food.
"Very busy ship. "
A kid free room would nice 😁. Very good crossing. Lot of family’s on board. Kids were all having fun. Which is as it should be. Lovely to see everyone happy. But a quiet area would be nice
"Recent trip"
The heat was very uncomfortable. I travelled with my husband and 3 children and we all got over heated and flushed. Something really needs to be done about the air conditioning, I looked around and I could see a lot of others suffering in a similar way.
"Great"
Very happy, boat was very nice and clean. Great crossing. Thanks all.
"Very enjoyable in Club Class"
This ferry has everything you need in it. Great facilities onboard. I usually book club class for a small amount of money. The staff there are very attentive and the food is nice. Priority boarding is also included in this.
"Bad weather "
Staff done there best to make all passengers comfortable. All hot food was free and hot beverages. Staff very punctual. No complaints about anything. Would rate Irish ferries a 5 star
"The Comfort "
Irish Ferries is a 1st Class, economical, comfortable ferry. A wide choice of restaurants and bars. Plenty to entertain adults and children. The staff are so friendly and helpful. All seating areas suited to customer comfort. We will always use this ferry, wherever we travel to.
"Could be so much better"
Lovely crossing but poor facilities. Soft play area was overrun with over 10s eventhough it clearly starts the height restriction. But there's nothing for older kids to do. Spacious on board but juts lacking in a few bits to entertain kids. Nice, but could be fabulous with a few tweaks! Staff were generally unfriendly and service reflected that, conveyor belt and overpriced.
"Check in early"
Irish ferries service was very good. The only tip I would give is that although you only need to be there 30 mins before hand I would definitely say get there at least 1hr prior to departure as it gets hectic. Plus on busy sailings you at least get the choice of a decent seat.
"First Timer"
Well I've tried all forms of transport but the ferry is by far the best. Brilliant service help full staff and very pleasant journey. A bit pricy but worth it though.
"Experience of direct ferries "
Excellent service, great value.
"Pembroke sailing"
Club class service was fabulous
"Excellent"
The whole Irish Ferries experience was very enjoyable. Embarking the ferry with the car was done in a very relaxed manner and everything was timed to perfection. We were shown where to park and what to do. Instruction made the experience less stressful than normal! The cabin was perfect - tidy, clean, well stocked and cool. Had the best ferry experience for a while and I wouldn't hesitate in the future to sail with Irish Ferries. Five Stars.
"Irish ferry"
I love travelling with irish ferry very friendly staff and very clean
"Great sail"
Great punchual sailing. Life may easy with the on board play area and tv room for our 1 and 2 year old. Friendly staff. We will defo be sailing again.
"Pleasant trip to Pembroke"
I recently travelled by Ferry from Rosslare to Pembroke return with my wife. Not having travelled by Ferry for many years, I was struck by how quick and efficient the check-in process was and the security check was carried out again quickly and efficiently and by polite staff. On board the service in the café was very good and contributed to a very positive experience overall. I would certainly use the service again as I found it far less stressful than airport travel.
"happy"
nice sailing, clean, well kept and well managed ship only negative thing would be the price of the cabins for the crossing
"Good service and ship"
Everything ok except temperature, too cold, most passengers had blankets or coats in August. It could improve. But clean, neat and well maintained. A beautiful boat and a nice trip.
"Helpful staff "
Excellent, staff friendly and helpful, our car broke down while on hols, but the staff at Irish ferries were brilliant and helped us sort it out
"Review"
Very easy to book online. Exceptionally organised boarding & disembarking from ferries. Great food & shopping. Very clean all round
"irish ferry journey"
Hi I recently had the pleasure of traveling with Irish ferry,s The whole experience was pleasent and there was no delays. The only thing that i feel could be improved on is the Cost!! I could have flown and hired a car on the other side cheaper that bringing my own! That said it was a really pleasent journey and the staff were friendly.
"Great experience"
Great crossing great trip. Staff and were fantastic. Really delighted that we booked with Irish Ferries
"Visit to Cornwall"
My wife and I found the ferry trip trouble free and very comfortable. I have no hesitation is traveling or recommending Irish Ferrys to again. A nice touch was the microwave to heat up food or beverages. Well done
"Trip to wales"
Great value for money !! Painless journey and very seamless !! Ferry was great
"Irish ferries "
What a wonderful experience. And cheaper than flying.
"On time - and in comfort"
This was my first trip on a car ferry in a number of years. I was very pleasantly surprised with the experience. The boarding process was smooth and efficient, the lounge was very comfortable and the sailing was timely and smooth. I'd definitely use this as an option to cross to England again - especially when I have a lot of stuff transport.
"Good experience"
We travelled with toddler and twin babies and from booking the staff were v accommodating to organising a parking space near the lift for use with the twin buggy. V fast boarding and departing both in Rosslare and Pembroke. Ship was quiet on both sailing so plenty of room for twin buggy and all the baby gear. Food was good. I would suggest the ship needs some toys etc in the play area-its just a soft floor and tv. All in all, would highly recommend and we'll use the service again.
"The Dingles "
Excellent crossing as per usual. No problems with online booking, easy checkin. Left on time. Very quite crossing. I don't understand why its so expensive at time.
"Irish Ferry experience"
We had a very smooth sail from Rosslare to Pembroke and back. The staff of the ferry were extremely friendly and very professional. The only thing I didn't like was having sick bags in the dining room at the tables as while we were eating a child was ready to be sick. Parents should take them out of the dining room if they are going to be sick.
"A ship for a relaxing voyage"
Good all round ferry if you want to cross the Irish sea in slow style with a comfortable fantastic crossing in mind then this is for you or even if you''re a ship fan in general you will enjoy watching the ship tightly maneuvering in and out of Pembroke a spectacle to be seen and even the captain had time to come down and say hello what a lovely machine.
