Liverpool Dublin Ferry reviews

"First Irish Ferry trip with P&O"

Although the Liverpool-Dublin trip is a long one at 7 hours, you can use the time to relax and get ready for whatever you’ve planned. We had a daytime cabin so had somewhere to snooze, read or even shower.Food on the Ferry was good and service too. Enjoyed the experience.

"Great service, good food, no lifts"

All of the staff were cheerful and helpful. Due to a lack of lifts, I don't recommend the route for anyone with mobility problems or small children. Meals are included in the fare and were of a good standard. All public areas and the cabins were clean and spacious.
