"Great Service at a competitive price."
Great service.
"Irish ferries, Dover/Calais "
Good service, good value
"Une très bonne traversée "
C'est une agréable traversée nous avons adorée mercii de votre accueil à bord
"Reguliere reiziger"
Ik reis minimaal 1x per maand met de ferry calais-Dover en terug. Via directferries boek meestal de goedkoopste van de mogelijkheden op het moment . Wat maakt dat ik al met verschillende maatschappijen ben overgezet... voor mij nogmaals een bewijs dat de duurste niet automatisch de beste is ! Persoonlijk vind ik irish Ferrières het beste eruit komen en dat voor uiteenlopende redenen, natuurlijk persoonlijk ! Netheid is voor mij toch wel een belangrijk punt, misschien een beetje beroepsmisvorming maar irish scoort bij mijn weten het best op dat gebied. Organitorisch zit het ook wel snor. Dit is mijn mening en die zullen waarschijnlijk wel uiteenlopende met verschillende verwachtingen en ervaringen.
"Buena experiencia"
Todo fue como debía. Buena experiencia. Control de pasaportes muy rápido. Bien señalizado. Puntuales. Muy satisfecho
"Traversée Calais Dover"
Aller un peu chaotique..manque de place, en revanche au retour avons eu le droit à un magnifique bateau et une très bonne traversée !
"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 😒
"GOOD IN GENERAL "
The ferry was better than what we’ve used before and much more affordable than most ferries. Loved tge kids play area and comfortable seats.
"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.
"Good trip "
On time, no hustle will be using again
"Breakfast was a rip off!!"
The ferry and sailing both ways was great, but the price and the quality of the breakfast was exorbitant!!
"dover calais crossing - 2/08/2023"
We found our crossing most agreeable,the staff were very friendly and helpful, and willing to answer any of our questions.
"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 👍🏽.
"1 toilet "
Travelled with Irish ferries last summer and had a good experience so booked again, however this time was not so good. The sea was extremely rough the day we travelled this year meaning a lot of people were being sick and for the whole ship there was 1 female and 1 male toilet in working order the rest were all blocked with sick/poo we asked if anymore toilets could be open and was told not. In the end people were going into different bathrooms on the ship which said closed as the ones which were “open” all became unusable. This was at 6am too so I dread to think what the people who got on the ship after experienced. The ferry was on time, breakfast was good, shame about the bathrooms
"Lovely experience "
Fantastic
"26.08"
Overall
"Calais"
We had an appointment for 2:30pm, but we were able to leave at 7:30pm! The port of Calais was scandalous!
"Great service"
We had great service helpful staff, we arrived early for our crossing incase of traffic and queues and were then offered an earlier departure ferry which was great, could be a bit cleaner in places but not what didn’t expect from a day ferry, I would use again
"Terrible "
Terrible
"happy"
I am very happy I enjoyed this trip
"A really pleasant crossing"
After the delays caused by the Border Force, everything else went smoothly. I arrived a little early and the helpful staff managed to fit me on the earlier boat. The look and feel of the ship is one of quality and excelence. The emergenc y briefing was clear and I particularly liked that they made provision for those needing extra help. The crossing as overr almost before I reaLised it. The unloading was really well organised and we were on out way . Thanks for a great trip. Will used Irish Ferries again.
"Satisfactory"
Dover to Calais the ship was grotty. I didn't care as I slept. Calais to Dover was a more modern ship which was far more comfortable and attractive.
"Complain about parking car"
No space for get out from the car
"Customer service "
This is the worse ferry website to book a ticket cause if in case u have to manage ur booking directferry charges are very high and as many time you does every time u have to pay the charges and their is no customer service on a phone if you want a peacefully journey avoid this site completely dodgy instead this site book irish ferry with very reasonable price and change ur tickets dates on very low price infact some time they do free 1 phone call.
"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.
"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
"Good service"
A very punctual & pleasant return crossing Dover to Calais
"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
"Excellent ferry "
Brilliant trip, clean and bright. Staff very friendly and food in restaurant was excellent. We had a very smooth crossing
"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!!!!
"Isle of Innisfree "

"For children activity "
Only one only one thing not more activity for children and they rest is very good service for everything
