Irish Ferries continues free baggage policy

Date: 12 Dec 2011 14:30 Source: Irish Ferries

Irish Ferries have announced that all bags will continue to be carried free of charge on their ferries between Ireland and Britain.

"Travellers on Irish Ferries may, as always, take as many bags as they can carry entirely free of charge," says head of passenger sales Declan Mescall.

Thousands of travellers will be heading home to Ireland this Christmas by car, with a boot full of Christmas presents.

"This time last year airports all over the UK were closed due to snow and ice and we rescued many a stranded passenger," says Mescall. "While festive sailings are already very busy, our cruise-ferry Ulysses has room for 1,850 passengers and 1,300 cars, and she has never cancelled a sailing due to bad weather, so we’re ready whatever happens."

The last Christmas sailing from Dublin to Holyhead is at 08.45, or from Rosslare to Pembroke at 08.45 on 24 December. Ferries resume operating on Tuesday 27 December.
