"Super ferry she is!"

Reviewed 03 April 2012 by David

Travelling on the Ulysses superferry to Ireland is a great experience and facilities in the club lounge definitely worth the extra expense, shopping good value, cinema helped pass the time and the view over Ireland from the panoramic lounge is something not to miss!

"Dublin Holyhead crossing"

Reviewed 03 April 2012 by Wayne Campbell

Booked this ferry to Holyhead sailing overnight. Loading takes ages which delayed us a bit but what do you expect from the 'worlds largest car ferry' and there were loads of cars on there! Cabin was clean and quiet and i slept well. Good ship.

"Steady as a rock in gale force winds"

Reviewed 21 September 2011 by caroline

We travelled on the ulysses from Holyhead to Dublin on the stormiest day of the year so far (saturday 10th sept) but did we know it during the sailing? No chance! It was brilliant not a bump or a roll to be had, it is a wonderful ship with great facilities; something for everyone. The lounge was so big and comfortable it reminded me of a cruise ship i had a holiday on some yrs ago. We departed bang on time and arrived only 5 mins late and considering the conditions - totally remarkable. This is a really great ship and a great crossing and I will certainly book it again.
