  • "Excellent choice"

    We used Irish Ferries for our Dover to Calais and return crossings for the first time this month and found the boats and service to be excellent. Everything was clean and tidy and staff were on hand as we boarded and sailed to make sure we were all ok. Although we didn't eat on either leg of our journey we did buy drinks and were happy with the service.

  • "Pleasant trip "

    Used to cross with Eurotunnel since 2005. I wanted to try the ferry and I was very surprised by the quality of the service.  The price is fair and the facilities correct 👍🏽.

  • "Great service"

    We had great service helpful staff, we arrived early for our crossing incase of traffic and queues and were then offered an earlier departure ferry which was great, could be a bit cleaner in places but not what didn’t expect from a day ferry, I would use again

  • "A really pleasant crossing"

    After the delays caused by the Border Force, everything else went smoothly. I arrived a little early and the helpful staff managed to fit me on the earlier boat. The look and feel of the ship is one of quality and excelence. The emergenc y briefing was clear and I particularly liked that they made provision for those needing extra help. The crossing as overr almost before I reaLised it. The unloading was really well organised and we were on out way . Thanks for a great trip. Will used Irish Ferries again.

  • "The best when traveling with kids"

    We chose Irish Ferries as they are perfect when travelling with little ones. The soft play area is the best compared to DFDS and P&O. While the kids are entertained you get really delicious coffee at the bistro. Happy kids, happy parents. Easy boarding, always very very friendly staff. From check in to boarding the ferry. They are very nice and help you out before you can even ask. We tested all ferry providers from calais to dover and have to honestly say Irish ferries are the best!!!!
