Irish Ferries prides itself on having the most modern fleet on the Irish Sea. On March 21st 2001 we launched the World's largest Car Ferry "Ulysses" sailing between Holyhead and Dublin 4 times a day (Ulysses will operate two return sailings between Dublin City and Holyhead each day with a sailing time of just over three hours. This means that in just one single day of operations, she has the capacity to transport 5,368 cars or 960 articulated trucks across the Irish Sea! Most importantly though, Ulysses can carry up to 2000 lucky passengers and crew on board per sailing.).
Last year Irish Ferries carried over 1.8 million passengers on their chosen routes between Ireland, Britain and France.
We pride ourselves on our commitment to putting our passengers first and ensuring their voyage and their holiday is as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. Others recognise this too as we were voted best ferry company by Irish Travel Agents for the last 4 years in a row and Irish Ferries were also awarded Freight Operator of the Year 2000.
