  • "A long weekend, motorcycling in Ireland."

    A most enjoyable trip. The crossings were both slick, and on time. The ports' staff and those on the ferries were excellent. My motorcycle was well cared for, and I am happy to recommend Stena to any other motorcyclists.

  • "Unexpected trip "

    We always travel on Stena Line & we have never been disappointed. The staff are all very courteous & extremely helpful making you feel your important to them. We always book the Stena Lounge which gives us being disabled a guaranteed seat. We enjoy the peace & quiet in it & don't have to queue for food as it is table service. The other advantages are a toilet in the lounge & as the staff get to know you remember your name which is lovely.

    Easy driving on and off and the weather was calm enough to sit on deck. We treated ourselves to a massage in the spa on the way back. The ferry was on time both ways. It all worked without any hassle - fast ship and quick crossing.
