New Holyhead Dublin sailings
Date: 03 Oct 2006 00:00 Source: Irish FerriesIrish Ferries has introduced a new sailing schedule on their Dublin to Holyhead route to give passengers a greater spread of daylight trips. They will use the cruise ferry Ulysses and fast ferry Dublin Swift.
From 9th October, Ulysses cruise ferry sailings will depart Dublin one hour earlier each morning at 08.05hrs and ten minutes earlier each evening at 20.55hrs, with a journey time of just 3hrs 15mins.
Dublin Swift fast ferry sailings will depart at 08.45hrs and 14.30hrs each day, approximately two hours later than before, and with a journey time to Dublin of just 1hr 49mins. Return sailings from Holyhead have also been improved with daytime departures for Dublin at 12:00 noon 14:10hrs and 17:15hrs.
This new schedule will give customers travelling with Irish Ferries a more attractive choice of daylight sailings in both directions, and encourage them to avoid the confusion, delays and frustrations currently being experienced at airports.
Combined with a 30 minute check-in, and a commitment to offering low fares from £59 including taxes, Irish Ferries is confident that this new schedule will encourage travellers to experience the real benefits of bringing their own car to Ireland.
The new schedule looks as follows:
Holyhead to Dublin
Vessel Depart Holyhead Arrival in Dublin:
Dublin Swift 12:00 - 13:49
Ulysses 14:10 - 17:25
Dublin Swift 17:15 - 19:04
