Hi Frederic
Thank you for you comment. Unfortunately we here at Ferryto.EU do not determine how the size of your vehicle or its contents affects the price, this is determined by the ferry operator. (In your case either Stena Line or Irish Ferries on this route). Unfortunately, you will have to follow the rules as stated by them and book the van in as Freight. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi,
I want to travel from Dublin to Holyhead by fast ferry: 2 adults with a car. The dates are 31st July-returning the 4th August 2023, I would like to get to Holyhead by 10:30 am on 31st July 2023, and leave Holyhead after 1pm.
Is this possible and what is the cost?
Kind regards,
Macdonald
Hi There
So the cheapest option for those dates would be to travel with Stena Line. There is a short stay promotion on just now, so the price would be approximately £315.
31st July 2023 to arrive before 1030: sailing would be 0215, arriving at 0530 on the Stena Adventurer. (This is the only sailing which would get you in before 1030)
4th August 2023 to leave after 1300: sailing would be 1445, arriving at 1820 on the Stena Estrid. (There is one sailing after this which would work out a little cheaper)
Just on click on the “Get a Quote” button and follow through the steps to make the booking. I hope this helps.
Once at the port, how much time is required to check-in if an International traveler?
We are arriving in Holyhead from London, but coming from the States
Hi Carrie
Thank you for getting in touch. Check in times for each route and craft are shown on your E-ticket and Reservation Advice. Please check before travelling. As you are an American citizen you must check that you have all the documents required for entry into Ireland or Britain, otherwise you may be refused. We are unaware of exact guidelines regarding time required for checking in if you are an international traveller. Unfortunately we cannot help you on the matter, and suggest you contact the company who you are travelling with for clarity. I am sorry we cannot be of more help.

What currency is accepted on board
Hi Lorraine
All ships, but the ferries operating to/from Denmark, to/from Latvia and to/from Germany accept payments in euros and local currency such as pounds sterling (please check route and country currency before you travel). Payments can be made with cash, credit cards and debit cards with a Maestro logo. I hope this helps.
My son will possibly sadly miss the crossing this night 23rd, 2.15 am. Is there any chance his crossing can be transferred to tomorrow afternoon, since the 8 am crossing has been cancelled without having to pay extra, please? He has tried several times to ring, but with no luck. Thank you. Helle
Hi Helle
Sorry to hear of your dilemma. If you miss your sailing Irish Ferries will do everything possible to transfer you to the next available Irish Ferries sailing. You will be charged an amendment fee plus any difference in fare. There is no refund due for unused tickets. Unfortunately, we would not be able to help with this issue, you would have to deal with Irish Ferries directly. I am sorry we cannot be of more help.
Can I just turn up with a car or do I need to book… I’m aware there’s no guarantee
Hi Paul
All journey’s need to be pre-booked in advance. You will not be allowed on without a booking. I hope this helps.
Do you have to book these trips to Dublin or is it okay to buy tickets on the day of travel. Is it best to book ahead?
Hi Pamela
Unfortunately all tickets must be purchased prior to travel. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
hi I want to travel to Dublin and back with my family. we have settlement visas so do we need visas to travel by ferry
Hi Tiddings
This is a complicated question. This would depend on you where you are from originally.
If you are a citizen of a country whose nationals need a visa to enter Ireland and you have a valid UK visa or residence permit, you may be required to have a visa to enter Ireland before you arrive in Ireland. The Short Stay Visa Waiver Programme allows nationals of a number of Eastern European, Middle East and Asian countries who have a short-term UK visa to come to Ireland without the need for a separate Irish visa. Please look at the Irish Government Page for more details. I am sorry we cannot be of more help.

Can I bring a cat onboard and what documentation do I need and can I stay with my cat in the car when crossing?
Hi Helen
Yes cats are able to travel on this crossing. They will have to be pre-booked onboard. Your cat is able to remain either in your vehicle or booked into the onboard kennels. Your will not be able to remain with your cat during the crossing I’m afraid.
Your cat will require a pet passport and all relevant vaccination documentation. Please see our Travelling with Pet – Passports and Vaccination Guide for more details. I hope this helps.
We are going to spend some time in Ireland in August but our return journey will depend on what is occurring. Is it possible to either buy and open ended ticket from Dublin to ahold head or buy a ticket on the day when we decide to come home?
Hi Patrick.
You would be able to do this by booking two single journeys. For your return journey it would have to be booked in advance, but in theory this could be done the night before travel. Although, we cannot guarantee there would be any availability. So we would advise keeping an eye on the website to check closer to the time. I hope this helps.
What if my wife and I want to travel across with out a car and then rent a vehicle once across so we can leave it from our departure airport? We want fly into Dublin for a Wedding but then visit friends in England.
Hi Andrew
This would have to be agreed with the rental car company. Many companies allow you to pick up cars from one location and return it to another. I am sorry we cannot be of more help.

Yes.
