Allow A2B via Sea to (virtually) take you across the Irish Sea aboard Irish Ferries cruise ferry Ulysses from Holyhead to Dublin.
Launched in 2000, currently 22yrs old, as you will see she still looks brand new and being 12 decks high she towers over other vessels!
On Deck 11 above the bridge at the front of the ferry is the magnificent Club Class Lounge. Accessible at a supplement one can enjoy stunning views of the passing vistas through the floor to ceiling windows whilst partaking in a hot or cold beverage and light snacks. Alcohol is available at a charge.
Down to Deck 9, all the other passenger amenities are located here - being on a single level, if you have walking difficulties you will not have an issue.
At the front of the ship is the Leopold Blooms Bar. Decorated in Irish themed décor there are comfortable seats consisting of sofas and stool and offering sea views though windows on three sides.
Walking aft we come to the main foyer to starboard and Boylan's Brasserie to port. The later offering a wide range of meals which vary depending on the time of day.
Cafe LaFayette is slightly aft offering (again) light snacks and with the seating area being slightly raised one can enjoy the sea views over the heads of those seated in the adjacent hall.
The entrance to the large shopping centre is aft of Café LaFayette offering a good selection of wines, beers, spirits, fragrances, souvenirs and tobacco products - the later are kept behind the till. The shopping centre has an attractive glazed skylight which is actually two decks above allowing natural light to flood in - amazing! Between the two is a mezzanine lounge with comfortable seating.
Walking aft, to port we come to the cinema showing the latest releases and to starboard is the Family Lounge where a children's playroom and gaming machines are located.
Irish Ferries Ulysses operates from Holyhead in Anglesey Wales to Dublin Ireland in around three hours. You can expect a mini cruise experience - in fact, in Dublin there is signage stating Ulysses is a cruise ferry.
Please watch the video and (virtually) come aboard. Please subscribe 🙏

The Irish Ferries Ulysses is my favourite ferry when I come home to Ireland from Manchester and I’ve been making this crossing since 2010 on both Coach & Sail and on SailRail, daytime and overnight crossings, summer and winter and I especially love the Club Class Lounge, my last visit being in October 2022 - on the Reception desk a few years ago, there was this really cute Blond guy working there and I totally fancied him but I never had anything to approach him with, but he was absolutely gorgeous though ❤❤❤

First seen her up close in 2003 I was just amazed at how big she was . Was at dublin port last few nights and hundreds of cars were coming off her and stena adventurer people are leaving air travel in their droves and coming back to ships ..even the amount of foot passengers getting on the bus to the city was huge compared to last time I was there

B.C Ferries could use a couple of these ,when a kid at the beach tosses a rock into the Salish sea they shut down due to "rough seas" whereas this unit can take any sea state and with it's enormous capacity nobody would be left at the dock!!!

Lovely ferry. Travelled on her a few times and better than Stena Adventurer. The lounge above the shop is a good place to get 40 winks on the overnight ferry.

She has a very nostalgic 1930s ocean liner look inside much like the original queen Mary

Show it’s worth building a ship for a specific route. Excellent sea keeping, and a bit more originality than Stena perhaps? Money well spent. Thanks again for the interior video.

@@kkstarmie hi. Thanks for reading my blog. For Holyhead it is necessary to use a courtesy bus between the ferry and the terminal. This can only happen once the vehicle deck is empty as the bus drives on to the ship. If you have onward connections, like trying to catch a train, I would allow plenty of time just in case, say 45min.
