Douglas ferry port is located near the southern end of Douglas on the Isle of Man. The Ferry Terminal which was built in 1965, to accommodate rising passenger numbers is located on the near side of Douglas port, closer to the promenade and provides the main hub for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company car and passenger ferry connections with ports in the UK and Ireland. Douglas is the main port of the Isle of Man and features the most extensive facilities for both commercial and private ships. The port is also the only Manx port with dedicated passenger handling facilities for multiple types of ferry.
Situated on the north east coast of Northern Ireland, Larne is a coastal and industrial market town, with a population of just over 18,000 people. The only ferry route from Larne is the daily crossing to Cairnryan, which lasts around two hours. Larne is a hotbed of natural beauty; the coastal road and Gleno Waterfall are arguably the two most popular tourist destinations belonging to the town, with views so striking that visitors often return to them a second time. Carnfun Country park also lies relatively near Larne, a popular area with caravanners due to its camping facilities and welcoming atmosphere. Carnfun isn’t the only park in the vicinity, there are several dotted around the region, perfect for a stroll in the afternoon sun. For something a bit off the beaten track, Northern Ireland’s maze provides excellent value for money, alongside the mini-golf course, it is the perfect setting for a family day out. Those who are more interested in the history and culture of the region will either head to the famous lighthouse near the pier, or to Olderfleet castle, laying south of the harbour. Ferries operating from Larne offer the chance for both foot passengers and passengers travelling by car to enter. For passengers hoping for a return day trip, there is a car park situated at the harbour, charging 60p per hour or £6 for the whole day. Pets are allowed only with passengers travelling by cars, and the animals have to remain in the vehicles for the entirety of the crossing.
