In light of the restrictions with aviation travel in Ireland and Europe, The IMDO would like to advise passengers of all alternative ferry passenger services available from the island of Ireland.
There are currently six operators offering direct passenger services from five ports in Ireland to nine ports in the United Kingdom. There are estimated 424 sailings per week.
Additional sailings have been added from Cork to Swansea.
There are also three operators providing direct passenger services from Ireland to France, with seven sailings per week to Cherbourg and Roscoff in the North of France.
There are varying degrees of foot and car capacity available and passengers who have flexibility with their travel should find more alternatives. Passengers should check directly with all shipping operators listed in the downloadable PDF here under for further details.
