"Such a relaxing way to travel"
I travel regularly to Belfast. Normally by plane for the perceived convenience. This trip was a revelation check in and boarding with the car is relaxed and straight forward. Te cabin comfortable and quiet. I slept like a log both ways and arrived energised for a full day's work. Just brilliant

Read More Read Less" Edda Rules the Waves"
I haven't travelled by ferry to Ireland for more than 25 years, so I was astounded at the difference between the ferries of old and the present day. I travelled on the Edda and it was more like a cruise ship than a ferry. elegant, modern decor, excellent passenger facilities and super helpful crew. I could have done without the gale force conditions on my return trip, but if you do find yourslef on the Irish Sea in a November gale, there's no place better than the Stena Edda!
