Holyhead-Dublin Ferry 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪

I took the Irish Ferries MV Ulysses ferry from Holyhead to Dublin on a cold but sunny winters day , I’d previously traveled on this route with Stena Line and wanted to check out the competition. The crossing takes around 3hours 15 minutes and there are 4 sailings each day. Holyhead port is located in Anglesey north wales and is conveniently situated at the end of the A55 carriageway, the port has long stay parking as well as a large duty free shop . I’ve done this route many times and even tho the crossing over the Irish Sea can be choppy sometimes, my sailing was calm and I enjoyed some great views, a beautiful sunset, and took some great photos. The MV Ulysses has some great facilities onboard including lots of food and drink options with restaurants cafes and bars ,duty free shopping , lounges , cinemas and plenty of areas to sit and relax. I would also recommend upgrading to Club Class as you can enjoy priority boarding ,10% off selected lines in the shop, an exclusive lounge with complimentary snacks and refreshments, papers and magazines ,PowerPoints for charging tablets and phones all in a quiet area over looking the bow of the ship on deck 11. I went out on deck to see our arrival in Dublin Port and as a foot passenger i disembarked the ship and walked out of the ferry terminal to find a waiting bus to take me into Dublin City Centre for only €3 (the bus leaves from right outside the terminal , and be advised if you want to get to the city centre it’s about an hour walk from the Port of Dublin. The port also has extensive signage to all main roads including the M50 toll road if you’re travelling by car. So to sum everything up , I would definitely recommend this route even if it’s just for a day trip , the ferry has so much to offer and you can get some great fares …..
