"Isle of Man journey"
My self & my wife have travelled over to The Isle of Man quite a few times by ferry each time we have thoroughly enjoyed our journeys, especially the catering and we have always found the staff to be very courteous and helpful at all times, why fly when you can have true comfort and an excellent restful journey!

Sailed from Heysham to IOM and had a very pleasant crossing both ways, motorbike was securely straped down and safe. Sat in restaurant/cafe compartment which was very clean and comfortable. Not really a criticism, but took 4 hours both trips, which can become a little tedious.

We enjoyed a trip to & from the Isle of Man. The staff were very courteous & helpful and there was plenty of room to wander about - much better than flying! We arrived early on both trips too.
