  • "Great journey."

    Weather calm on both journeys, thankfully. Everything went smoothly from queuing to arriving at reception to allocation of cabins. Food better than I thought it would be. Staff friendly and professional and willing to listen. Saw a film, which the children enjoyed immensely. Bunks beautifully presented. Bathroom adequate , children frighten of flushing loo. Tea facilities fine. All in all a great experience! Thank you.

  • "Good journey"

    Was very happy with my trip on the ferry, plenty of food and drink available as well as shops to buy newspapers and other things from. Staff were very helpful and were willing to help me get into to the sleeping pod cabin after having trouble getting into the door.
