The only way to go
With crossings to the Emerald Isle
taking as little as an hour, no airport
queues or baggage restrictions and the
freedom of exploring Ireland’s wide
open spaces in your own car, why
would you want to travel any other
way? It’s so simple. Just drive on and
enjoy yourself while we take you over
to Larne.
Troon is handily accessible from most
of Scotland’s main cities, with Glasgow
little more than half an hour away and
Edinburgh within easy reach, too.
Cairnryan is very convenient too, with
Carlisle and northern England just down
the road.
Spoilt for choice
Whether travelling on our fast Cairnryan
route or taking the scenic trip from Troon,
you’ll have to be quick to take in all the
great things to do onboard. Let the kids
expend some energy in the special play
area while you pick up some bargains in
the Sea Shop or sip a relaxing drink in the
Poet’s Bar. Hungry? There's some delicious
food on offer in Fables restaurant, or if you
just want a light bite, settle down with a
Costa Coffee and a snack.
Speedy service
Our fast craft can get you across in
just an hour from Cairnryan, or two
hours from Troon. Our superferries take
2 hours to cross from Cairnryan to
Larne. Not only are the sailings quick,
but there are up to ten a day each way,
so you can travel whenever best suits
you and be flexible with your route.
With Ireland’s charms so close, what
are you waiting for?
Take the high road
Once you arrive in Larne, excellent
transport links to the rest of the island
will help make your perfect Irish
getaway a reality. The famous Antrim
Coast Road from Larne is a great
introduction to Northern Ireland’s
stunning natural beauty. Along the
way you can witness the mysterious
volcanic landscape of the Giant’s
Causeway, imposing Dunluce Castle
and the dizzying heights of the
Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, amongst
many other attractions.
Buckets of charm
As well as taking as much with you as
you need, the great thing about arriving
in Ireland with your car is the choice.
You can go where you want, when you
want, which is vital when you consider
the range of amazing things to see and
do. Reminiscent of simpler times, this
quiet, unspoilt land will have you
entranced in no time. In Fermanagh’s
haunting lakelands you can find
craftspeople using techniques that have
barely changed for centuries. This
protected landscape is teeming with
rare and beautiful wildlife, too.
The atmospheric granite peaks and clear
streams of the Mourne Mountains are
another must see in the area, with days
of trails and paths to cover.
Wherever you go in Ireland, you’re sure
to discover something special. Your best
bet is just to get behind the wheel
and explore.
