The Superfast VII provides the best ferry experience on the Irish Sea with numerous facilities including a Nordic Spa, the ‘POD Lounge’, a chill out Living Room, ‘Taste’ dining, free Wi-Fi, free movies, Curious George for the kids and the exclusive Stena Plus Lounge.
Due to the short crossing, cabin accommodation is not available on the Superfast VII however reserved seating is available in the Stena Plus Lounge. Stena Plus offers a range of comfortable leather seating including sofas and sofa chairs on two levels, so you can find the area which is just right for you. In addition to seating, passengers who travel in the luxurious Stena Plus lounge can enjoy waiter service and choose from a premium menu which includes a range of speciality seafood dishes and old favourites.

We travelled Belfast to scotland on Christmas eve, really quiet ferry, so was lovely! We came back 27th and it was so busy! We couldn't get a seat and this lovely staff member allowed us into the truckers area so we could have a seat! Amazing service!! Keep it up stena line!!

Would certainly recommend Stena line as a way to travel, very friendly staff.
"Weekend trip Belfast to Scotland "
1st time drive on Ferry.. so impressed with service. Such an easy stress free way to travel. Very friendly and accomodating staff,.
"Pros and Cons"
The most hassle free way to travel! We were impressed from start to finish. Booking confirmation had links to all information you may need-directions to the port terminal was grately appreciated! There was no confusion-everything was very professionally organised! The one dislike we had was with the prices onboard!! The value for food is not the best! Nearly £10 for a very small platleful plus an added extra for some chips!
"Relaxing "
We had been traveling all day and needed to relax. That’s what we did with the VIP lounge for £5 per head and the great service from the team. Nothing was to much for them. Also surprised how good the food was Very enjoyable and relaxing experience
"Great experience "
Staff friendly and helpful, ship very clean, no delays.
"Very pleasant trip"
Very pleasant trip on the Stena line ferry. Sea was a bit rough on the return journey but captain had put stabilizers down to ensure our comfort. Sailing was punctual and safe. Would recommend this company!
"Comfortable travelling"
We have just returned from a family holiday in Scotland. We found the ferry, as on previous occasions, to be such a relaxing mode of travel. We were fortunate to have extremely calm seas on all our trips. We found the premier lounge to be so comfortable and we availed of the snacks available. I totally recommend Directferries.
"the impossibility of getting in touch with direct ferries to change a scheduled flexi ticket booking"
My short sea trip was very pleasant and my past experience with direct ferries through which the ferry was booked has been good but this summer it proved impossible to contact their booking office by phone or e mail in order to change my return ticked on what was a flexible ticket. Stenna the ferry company did eventually allow my change when i explained that it was impossible to get through to direct ferries beyond a computerized message. I will in future book direct with the ferry company as they offer a far better service to customers.

"Super ferry crossing"
Great route, smooth crossing, and couldn't have been any more efficient. The catering was a bit basic, but can't complain.
"everyone should take the ferry"
amazing cruiselike experience and amenities. clean up to date great food and selection at reasonable prices. comfortable seats .i love to fly but this is definitely the way to cross into scotland!

My wife and I sailed from Belfast to Cairnryan and had a very nice voyage. The vessel was awash in services and the crew very friendly and helpful. Thank you for the very nice crossing

"Great service"
Really enjoyed our recent trip with Stena Line. Lots of space and seating. Kids easily entertained on board. Food was of good quality work many choices available.
"First time on a ferry"
I couldn't believe the amount things to do! It was at the other side before I knew I want to go back on again soon
"cairnryan to belfast"
perfect trip apart from missing the 1st ferry by 15 minutes the staff changed my ticket with no fuss and the newly refurbished facility at the port was great
"Kids cruise"
Overall our jorney was enjoyable, however you should have informed the people travelling that there was a childrens cruise onboard!! We were travelling with children but they couldnt get involved because they didn't have a wristband, we would have been happy when boarding to pay a little extra to let them join in! On the other hand if i did not have kids with me i would not be happy that the bar was overrun by them i i couldnt have a drink and relax!!
"Highly recommend "
Excellent service throughout both from Direct Ferries and Stena Line alike. I'll definitely be using services in the future
