Can I travel from Belfast 19th June and return on 20th June or travel to IOM on 20th June and return 21st June?
We need to know if the ferry is frequent and freely accessible in case we get marooned and unable to return home to NI.
We are also worried re the costs.
We are very worried about all the logistics involved because we wish to attend the British Irish Council Summit
Hi Gabrielle
Unfortunately, there are no sailings between Belfast and the IOM on the dates that you wish to travel. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
