  1. I’m hoping to travel from Rosslare to Pembroke driving a Toyota RAV4 and towing a 4 berth caravan. My husband will be with me. He has dementia and I’m hoping to get him to see his sister, probably for the last time. He is physically disabled. My car is registered disabled. There is a caravan park close to his sisters area in Llantwit Major where we will be staying because he needs 24hr care and it wouldn’t be fair on his sister if we stayed with her. She is 83 and has Sarcoidosis.
    Can you tell me if there is wheelchair help on the ferry. Also how much will a return cost.

  2. Hi,

    3 adults wish to travel from Rosslare to Pembroke (Wales) on Tues July 24th, 2024. Irish Ferries website states “no availability”. Don’t understand how it can be full 5 months ahead of sailing?

    1. Hi Ajay

      Thank you for getting in touch. We are a little confused by this comment, there is availability to sail Rosslare to Pembroke on Tuesday 23rd July 2024 and Wednesday 24th July 2024 on all crossing times. There is no availability for Flexi + Tickets, but you can buy Economy or Flexi tickets instead. I hope this helps.

    1. Hi Michael

      Unfortunately, they do not allow you to travel as a foot passenger on this route. There is availability on 8th February to travel with a car. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

  4. why has the price more than doubled surley its not beacause you have a new ship i was a frequent traveller with you but not at these outrages price

    1. Hi Robert

      I am sorry to hear about the price doubling. We here at Ferry To Europe have no control over the price which Irish Ferries have set. Is there another route or operator you would consider using? Would you consider one of the other Wales to Ireland routes instead?

      1. YES AND HAVE DONE FOR A CHANGE, BUT STENNA FISHGAURD ISNT ANY CHEAPER BEFORE YOU COULD GET A RETURN TRIP FOR UNDER 400 POUNDS ,NOW ITS NEARLY 600 FOR BOTH WAYS AND THATS JUST A STANDARD CAR MY WIFE AND I BAD NEWS WE USED TO GO OFTEN AS WE ARE ENGLISH LIVING IN IRELAND.

    1. Hi Cal

      Thank you for getting in touch. The STENA EUROPE is currently serving the Rosslare to Fishguard route. I hope this helps.

    1. Hi Thomas

      Sorry to hear about your predicament. Unfortunately we here at Ferry To Europe are unable to help with refunds. Please find attached the contact telephone number for Irish Ferries, hopefully they can help you. Tel: 03717 300 400.

  6. Please could you confirm to me that I can travel from Pembroke to Rosslare and return without a passport but with a photo driving license as ID

    1. Hi Alan, If you are a British/Irish citizen travelling across the Irish Sea you do not need a valid passport. However, it is advised you bring a form of identification with you. This can one of the following items:
      • A valid passport.
      • photographic driving license.
      • International Student Card.
      • government issued photo ID card.
      • health insurance/social security photographic card.
      • photographic bus/train pass.
      • EU Citizen Identity Card will usually suffice.
      • A birth certificate will provide adequate proof of identity for children (17 years and under with no photographic identification) to travel on our sailings.

      Hope this helps!
