"Very exciting experience for the 1st time boarding the cruise"
Very nice amazing experience
"Terrible night"
I understand it isn’t your job to parent other people’s kids, but this was an overnight sailing and I didn’t get a wink of sleep (6 hour drive ahead, lovely) due to unaccompanied kids running round screaming at the top of their lungs all night - and I mean literally all night. All of the passengers on our deck were disturbed but no one other than the customers themselves tried to intervene and find the parents. Also, cabins were sold out so we arrived at the earliest check in time - we were third in the queue - in order to get a decent seat as we knew the ship was fully booked, but we’re then parked up in a lane that boarded last, meaning everyone else was already spread out with their bags taking up entire sofas and seats used as footstools. The ferry itself was nice and clean and the sailing smooth and prompt, the one staff member we did speak with was very polite and friendly. This would have been a decent trip if it weren’t for the lack of organisation- for a price that is 10 times that of a flight to Belfast, would have expected better.
"My family and I where very disappointed with direct ferries "
We paid direct ferries £324 this was total charge for cabin outward bound and inward bound , on our way bk stenaline ferry's told us that they had only received £257 I would like the remainder of my money bk please as a result of this we couldn't get a cabin paid
"Hygge recliners "
I honestly looked forward to catching up on sleep during the nig ht but found the recliners to be truly awful and would definitely not try them again.
" 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!
"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
"Recent Boat Trip to Belfast "
Boat Trip
"Belfast to Liverpool"
So I’ve travelled with P an o Liverpool to Dublin and then travelled Belfast to Liverpool with Stena and quite confidently say that Stena winds him down very well organised very friendly staff exceptionally clean how much a great trip
"Holiday in Belfast"
The ferry was very clean and comfortable. Better to go mid week. We did the 10.30 a.m. crossing both ways with a cabin for privacy and relaxation.
"Electric car charging "
We were very low on battery , the staff level 7 were not helpful , we genuinely could not find charging in Belfast and had travelled from Westport . I think if passengers are struggling and battery is low there should be an emergency charging 3 pin plug point . It would have been a huge headache for you if we could not disembark . An idea as you have a sustainability policy . Thankyou in advance snd regards
"Perfect"
Had a bit of a wait to get on Ferry but that cannot be helped. Once onboard everything was excellent. A very people friendly ship. Directions, cabin numbers and all facilities well marked out. Had a cabin and that was very comfortable.
"Nice Ferry Experience "
We enjoyed our trip back and forth.
"Birkenhead to belfast, return"

"Excellent experience with Stena"
Very enjoyable recent return trip Belfast - Liverpool with Stena. Travelled overnight to Liverpool & day sailing return. Boarding efficient and easy. Cabins excellent and ship overall had great facilities, including food, space & comfort. Will definitely use the service again. Great to have the car as opposed to flying.
"Experience of Hygge lounge"
Not designed for smaller people.Chairs not adjustable so I spent all night sliding off them . Cushions wrongly positioned I was freezing as air con too cold I just feel exhausted Would have been better led on seat in main lounge
"Liverpool to Belfast"
Cabin no soap in shower and bathroom old sanitary towels in bin from previous occupants Approx 40 mins late from departure from Liverpool and 35 minutes late from Belfast
"Relaxing "
A pleasant journey, calm conditions and helpful staff
"Excellent Ferry experience"
I was very pleased with the value for money and the facilities on my outbound and return journey. I did not have any food or encounter any staff.
"Trip to Ireland "
We crossed both ways and the crew we're very helpful friendly and welcoming
"Customer Service at Direct Ferries"
I would recommend Stena Line 100%. I wouldn’t recommend Direct Ferries - customer service is basically non existent! There was an issue with our booking and there was no way of contacting DF directly. When they responded it was a straight sorry we won’t help. Rang Stena line who dealt with it immediately and without any problem. Book direct with Stena line not DF.
"Good journeys "
Outward and homeward sailings were great, helped by very calm weather! We found the ship to be very clean with lots of room. The cabin coming home was spotless and comfortable.

"Excellent crossing"
My recent return crossing from Belfast was excellent. Everything from the checking in to disembarking was flawless. and the ship was very clean.
"good trip"
It was a good trip
"Ireland trip "
Lovely ship, very friendly helpful staff, Ship needs free water facilities, at £2.20 a bottle on an 8 hour trip can be quite expensive
"Beautiful and relaxing ferry"
Not sure why I have not taken the ferry before. It was fast, efficient and on time embarking/disembarking. The ferry was extremely clean and very quiet. I had booked into the recliner lounge which was very quiet, cosy and perfect for doing work. However, there was not really any need as the rest of the book had ample space and was comfortable and quiet too. Definately will travel this way again even thou it took longer than a flight for the same route.
"Birkenhead-Belfast Stenna"
Nice comfortable crossing, pleasant surrowndings
"Overnight crossing "
Very clean cabin 4 berth all slept soundly would definitely recommend an overnight crossing with a cabin, also nice breakfast
"Great facilities "
Lovely ship. Lots for kids to do (2 movie rooms, play areas, gaming area). Very friendly staff. Only one meal provided for an 8 hour sailing (travelled over with another company and had 3 meals). Food was average and prices to purchase other meals very overpriced.
"Smooth sailing"
I have had to travel on this route a few times this year after my father passed away. I have had a pleasant trip each time. And thankfully the weather has been ok meaning the crossings have been smooth. Thank you
