So.. I'm hoping to take a leisure trip to NI as soon as UK travel is permitted after April 12th and I checked out the ferries..

Not sure I fancy taking the FZ up to Cairnryan that early in spring but the car is coming in at 250-300 quid (5 day return). From Holyhead to Dublin it's even more and there's the slight possibility they won't let you pass through ROI.

It's been a while since I traveled that route but it seems costly.. If it's normal and i'm out of touch fair enough, but if I'm missing a trick please let on.

Cheers

J

PS I don't like to fly.

I've just had an offer off Stena £109 for Fishguard to Rosslare, or Holyhead - Dublin. Liverpool to Belfast £129 Economy or a few quid more for Flexy , would a bike be even cheaper?
( Ive just tried a sample journey an put in 'Motorcycle ' Economy came out at £69 each way ) Maybe you could phone them and ask them to do it at the same price?

Google ferry finder or something.
Or call the company. Stena do good deals.
Pick your day to beat The rush.

Make sure there's no nasty English mud on your bike or the soles of your boots.
