Ulysses Cruise Ferry

There are two ferries that service trips from Holyhead to Dublin and Dun Laoghaire: Stena Line and Irish Ferries. Holyhead port is a gateway to Ireland from UK separated by only 58 miles of the Irish Sea and accessible via the A55 expressway connecting to the rest of UK’s motorway. Irish Ferries serves the UK-Ireland route from Holyhead through their Dublin Swift Ferry and Ulysses Cruise Ferry, while Stena Line on the other hand serves the route with their HSS Stena Explorer, Stena Adventurer, and Stena Nodica super ferries. Both liners offer quality service for foot passengers, car drivers, and light freight across this part of the Irish Sea.

Stena Line ferries from Holyhead

The HSS Stena Explorer crosses the Holyhead-Dun Laoghaire route for only 2 hours giving you enough time to spend the day in Dun Laoghaire or enough time to travel to your business destination in Dublin, which is just 7 miles north of the harbor. If you want to disembark directly in Dublin, you can choose to travel with either the Stena Adventurer or the Stena Nodica super ferries, which crosses the route for 3 hours and 15 minutes. The super ferries provide onboard entertainments like onboard cinema, restaurants, shops, and children’s playground that makes the three hours almost down to nothing . And all Stena Line super ferries have Premium Stena Line Lounge to mingle with other passengers or just peer to the sights through the large windows while sailing.
