  • "Review"

    Had a fabulous crossing to and from Ireland. Have been to Ireland to visit family many times but always flown, lots to do for children on the ferry. Return trip especially, the children's entertainers were fabulous!!! Will definitely travel with Stena line again. One downside was the cost of breakfast.... Overpriced and very expensive, just under £5 for a bacon roll...... Fed the kids before travelling home.

  • "Great smooth service"

    Brilliant trip to Dublin from Holyhead on the Stena Superfast X. A very easy booking and check in process with friendly staff at the cafe at the port. Smooth experience embarking. Once on board there was plenty of seating and tables, with a separate cinema, soft play for the kids, friendly staff in the restaurant. I travelled on my own with three children who loved the experience and had plenty to occupy them.

Holyhead Guide

Located on Holy Island, which at one point was connected to Anglesey via the Four Mile Bridge, the town of Holyhead is the largest town, and port, in Anglesey, Wales. A local philanthropist in the mid 19th century, however, funded the building of a causeway, "The Cobb", which to this day carries the main road and railway to and from Holyhead. There are many places in the town centre to eat with all the usual shops and facilities you would expect to find in a town of its size. There is also a cinema and theatre. Holyhead is often used as an overnight stop to, or from, the port and as a result there are many different places to stay that will suit all budgets. Around Holyhead there is excellent fishing, golfing and sailing facilities. Couple this with the wonderful scenery, walks and beaches and you can easily lose yourself and relax for a few days.

The Port of Holyhead is a bustling ferry port which operates services to Dublin and Dun Laoghaire in Ireland. The port is also the main gateway for land transport from northern and central England and Wales to Ireland.
