Onboard Cabins / Reserved Seating

Due to the short crossing, cabin accommodation is not available on the Superfast VII however reserved seating is available in the Stena Plus Lounge. Stena Plus offers a range of comfortable leather seating including sofas and sofa chairs on two levels, so you can find the area which is just right for you.

In addition to seating, passengers who travel in the luxurious Stena Plus lounge can enjoy waiter service and choose from a premium menu which includes a range of speciality seafood dishes and old favourites. So you can simply relax in your seats and order meals at your leisure.

Onboard Shopping

In the Superfast VII shop you’ll find a range of gifts, jewellery and fragrances with prices on average 40% cheaper than the UK high street.

Additional Onboard Facilities

Chill out in the onboard ‘Living Room’ – your lounge at sea! Enjoy complimentary magazines and all the latest news on 70” plasma TV screens.

Visit the ‘Pure Nordic Spa’ for a dip in the Jacuzzi or sauna to ensure you arrive rejuvenated and revived (only available to Stena Plus customers).

"Excellent experience"

Admittedly were travelling at a quiet time of year but our sailings from Cairnyan and Belfast were both smooth and a very pleasant experience.

"First trip for a while..."

My only real gripe is that the prices for a return crossing have increased dramatically. My colleague had a return flight into Belfast for £60 via liverpool and in future if prices remain high I may need to reconsider my travel options and send my business items via carrier to a customer and then fly in. If I had took this option this trip travel would have been around £100 less even including a hire car.

"Belfast Dock"

I was coming to the port from the NW and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is of access. It is efficiently run without any fuss. I would have no hesitation using this route again.

"Return journey "

Everything was fine except there was a mix up with the times of our return journey. We had on our ticket 11:30 crossing but it was registered as 15:30 and Stenaline said we probably couldn’t get on. We did manage to get on the 11:30 but after a bit of an anxious wait to see if they could fit us on.

"Great way to travel to Ireland "

Had a fantastic experience sailing with Stena Line. The only downside for us that we have to travel so far to the port. Apart from that the staff were brilliant, good choice of things to do while your passing the time, and I would love to sail with them again

"Quick and Easy"

We travelled Cairnryan to Belfast and back. Boarding was quick and professional. Facilities on board excellent. Had booked the Stena Plus lounge and it was definitely worth it. I just wish Cairnryan was a little closer to the M6

"Excellent service "

I can only describe my recent experience with Direct Ferries as "excellent " The booking process was simple and straightforward. From my arrival at Stenna port Belfast staff were friendly and helpful. Price was very keen!! Would definitely recommend Direct Ferries and will book my next trip with them.

"Perfect service"

From booking to sailing, couldn’t ask for more. I arrived much earlier at Cairnryan than I expected, & was rebooked on an earlier sailing without hassle. Ship was stable in quite rough weather - so much better than my last crossing though admittedly that was 30 years ago!

"Loading concerns "

Having arrived at check in within plenty of time we were directed on board but were placed in the bowels of the ship in deck 2. The lift to travel up to deck 7 or 8 was in constant use taking only 2 people at a time. The climb up all of the stairs was exhausting for two people over 65 so more considerate placing of vehicles would be appreciated. We did after all stipulate our age on the booking form. Same thing happened to us on the return Cairnryan to Belfast trip!
