"Une très bonne traversée "
C'est une agréable traversée nous avons adorée mercii de votre accueil à bord
"Smooth trip"
Excellent service with Irish Ferries
"Lack of Information"
Travelled Dover/Calais Feb 10th out, 22nd in. Outward journey was fine, left on time arrived slightly early no issues. Plenty of seats, no massive queues at the catering outlets. Inward journey was delayed 35 minutes even though the departure board are Calais showed it departing on time. When we got on the ferry there was no explanation for or even acknowledgement of the delay. The same applies to the Irish Ferries website and the X account where I posted an enquiry for which I still await a reply. Duty Free massively overpriced in terms of perfumes, confectionery etc, but that particular con doesn't just apply to Irish Ferries. Ship was a bit tired, ripped upholstery but overall reasonably clean.
"Lots of delays"
It was 1 hour late on the way to France and 3 hours delays on the back not very happy with the service 😒
"Fantastic price and super quick booking"
We decided last minute to pop over to France for a few days. Found Direct Ferries on Google and it had the best prices. Super efficient and the Irish Ferry was super.
"Excellent choice"
We used Irish Ferries for our Dover to Calais and return crossings for the first time this month and found the boats and service to be excellent. Everything was clean and tidy and staff were on hand as we boarded and sailed to make sure we were all ok. Although we didn't eat on either leg of our journey we did buy drinks and were happy with the service.
"Breakfast was a rip off!!"
The ferry and sailing both ways was great, but the price and the quality of the breakfast was exorbitant!!
"Don’t book. Worst ferry "
I booked a specific time for departure in order to continue with my appointments in London. I even booked an airbnb in Calais just to be on time rather stay with family in Paris. I was there 2 hours before the departure, I was still put into the 2:30pm ferry rather 12:55 pm which I had booked. I was waiting in the line from 12 at the departure parking. The ferry was still there for 55 mins while other cars were going in. I don’t know whether it was discrimination or the ferry was over booked. I wasn’t given any reason for the time change and was asked to contact Irish ferry. I did but the customer service were worse they said “we can’t do anything, find out the reason yourself”. I am really annoyed and frustrated and would never travel with this s Ferry again.
"Unforgettable "
A very small ferry for to many people, to crowded. Customers treated like sheep's in a stool. The worst experience I had in my life with ferry.
"Pleasant trip "
Used to cross with Eurotunnel since 2005. I wanted to try the ferry and I was very surprised by the quality of the service. The price is fair and the facilities correct 👍🏽.
"Lovely experience "
Fantastic

"Dover Calais With Irish Ferries"
Outward bound trip was better than return. The vessel was larger with better facilities. The return vessel had an open car deck and a much smaller passenger structure above. As a result the facilities were small and poor. There is some kind of irony when the bar staff of Irish Ferries don't know how to serves a Guinness! As an industry you really need to start lobbying Customs and Passport Control on the French side, we were queuing in our car for nearly 2 hours. No stopping places or restrooms, dog cooking in the boot. Really poor.
"Cancel policy rubbish "
Cancel policys needs to be reviewed
"Calis Dover crossing"
First class service.
"Great Experience"
We had just such a great experience going with directferries to the UK, easy to book, easy check in, on time, great ferries, friendly people, we will come back! Keep going.
"General overview"
I am pleased that at last there is some serious competion for P+O DFDS etc. Irish ferries operate a very good service which I will be using again!
"Back home "
Beautiful view from the boat!
"Incovenient"
The crossing had been changed twice and we weren’t prevented before hand on the departure time. We had to wait 3 hours before boarding,which was really inconvenient as we were travelling with children
"3 hour delay"
3 hour delay
"Good service"
A very punctual & pleasant return crossing Dover to Calais
"Uk trip"
Great service and helpful staff. Better than the train if you don't mind the additional time.
"Great family experience "
First time for us as a family on a ferry. Right from booking experience to both very punctual trips, and fun time on board, we will definitely be going again. Only one small snag was the return leg the delights cafe wasn’t open nor the cafe down stairs so meal options were limited to the main diner. Other than this was lovely
"Travel "
Great service
"My trip with direct ferry "
I was quite impressed being my first time and I will definitely return and tell friends about it and to use direct ferries.
"Ferry crossing "
I usually travel via the Euro Tunnel but I chose to go via ferry this time .The ferries are immaculate the facilities are great. I would highly recommend the Club Class the extra £12 is very worth it. The staff are efficient and friendly. Irish Ferries have set high standards throughout at a great prices. I will certainly be going within again
"Irish ferries"
Direct ferries are very good to book with. Irish ferries were prompt, clean and good journey
"The best when traveling with kids"
We chose Irish Ferries as they are perfect when travelling with little ones. The soft play area is the best compared to DFDS and P&O. While the kids are entertained you get really delicious coffee at the bistro. Happy kids, happy parents. Easy boarding, always very very friendly staff. From check in to boarding the ferry. They are very nice and help you out before you can even ask. We tested all ferry providers from calais to dover and have to honestly say Irish ferries are the best!!!!
"Smooth sailing"
From the booking process, to checking in, and getting on board, all was simple. The boat was clean, and we had no problems at all the whole trip
"Better out than in"
We sailed from Diver on Isle of Inishmore. This was our yenth crossing since June, and our first on Irish Ferries. Everything about the crossing was excellent. We will certainly be becoming regular customers. We returned on Isle of Innisfree, a smaller, older boat which rocked quite a bit in rough seas (though we've known wors). Unfortunately, the standard of catering was not up to scratch. On the one hand, I had gluten-free fish and chips for the first time in many years; but my wife's curry was inedible. She said it tasted as if the chef had taken Irish stew and laced it with curry powder. I suggested she take it back, but she was afraid she'd do the chef a mischief. For £16.95 one expects something one can eat. All in all, we love Irish Ferries; but when we book our next trip in mid-December, it would be nice to know on which ship we are booking!
