UK reviews

  • "beautiful ride"

    Our ferry ride was a highlight of our trip. The ship is modern, large, and the staff are very friendly. This is a great way to cross the Irish Sea!

  • "P and O Irish sea"

    Nothing but good things to say about this service. Superb care and attention from port staff at both Dublin and Liverpool. These guys couldn't have been more helpfull even with a less than standard vehicle and loaded trailer combination. Crossing time allows for a good rest break before travelling on again, and the two meals set you up for the journey ahead. Relatively straight forward booking procedure online, either direct with P and O, or by Direct Ferries brokerage. Competetively priced but check all times for best value. Nice to be treated like a passenger, rather than a commodity!!
