I am just about to book a Holyhead to Dublin crossing and have no real preference especially as they sail within minutes of each other - What is that about?

Tempted to try Irish Ferries as not really struck on Stena having tried their Harwich Hook of Holland route.

Any comments/advice at all?

Irish Ferries sail into Dublin and Stena into Dun Laoghaire. There is nothing to choose between them, I tend to book depending on where I am heading. Irish Ferries from Dublin Port can be a godsend if you are trvelling back from the North early evening as you do not need to cross Dublin to get to Dun Laoghaire.

We use this crossing regularly and would certainly recommend Stena's HSS (high speed ferry) from Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire. The crossing time is only about 1 hour 40 minutes and the craft is clean, comfortable and serves excellent food.

Dun Laoghaire is only a couple of miles south of Dublin so there is virtually no difference which port you go into.

If you are a member of the Camping and Caravan Club book it through them as their price is considerably less than direct with Stena.

PM me if you want any further information.

Hi

Personally I would travel with the cheapest.

You may note however that the ferry on the Irish Ferries Route - called "Ulysees" is very, very stable in rough seas. I cannot comment on the stability of any other vessel on the route.

If you Google Irish Ferries Ulysees you can learn why she is so stable.
