I usually travel via the Euro Tunnel but I chose to go via ferry this time .The ferries are immaculate the facilities are great. I would highly recommend the Club Class the extra £12 is very worth it. The staff are efficient and friendly. Irish Ferries have set high standards throughout at a great prices. I will certainly be going within again

"The best when traveling with kids"
We chose Irish Ferries as they are perfect when travelling with little ones. The soft play area is the best compared to DFDS and P&O. While the kids are entertained you get really delicious coffee at the bistro. Happy kids, happy parents. Easy boarding, always very very friendly staff. From check in to boarding the ferry. They are very nice and help you out before you can even ask. We tested all ferry providers from calais to dover and have to honestly say Irish ferries are the best!!!!

"Pleasant crossing !"
I often need to cross the channel and I used several companies. Since Irish ferries started to operates between Dover to Calais I always use their services. I travelled yesterday on the Isle of Inishmore, it's a spacious ferry with lots of amenities. It was great to be onboard, great crew, they offer all the services you need, and the ship is very spacious with 2 floors. You'll find great prices in their shops ( duty free ), and you can enjoy the restaurants ( or a canteen ), a pub or a cafe. lot of space even for children and a veranda. I'll travel again with them next month ! One last thing about the ship : the cleanliness was impeccable!

"First trip on Irish Ferries"
I usually use P & O Ferries to travel to Calais but thought I’d try Irish Ferries for a change as the price was the same. Really pleased with them - were allowed on the ferry much earlier than normal which made a real difference, clean, nice staff, good facilities, will definitely use again

"New Favourite ferry co"
Used Irish ferries for last two trips to France. We were really impressed with our experiences and although we chose it on price we felt that the quality of service and of the boat itself (in terms of aesthetics, cleanliness) was at least as good if not better.

"Irish ferries did the job"
Highly recommend irish ferries, affordable which a big deal atm. The boat was on time, easy to navigate around, staff very helpful and friendly. Couldn't believe how quiet it was, not sure if its because no one can afford to travel right now. Food is very expensive, luckily we'd eaten before otherwise a family of 4 for breakfast would have set us back nearly £60. Will definitely travel again with this company
