We took the overnight ferry last August with friends in their car, and had a cabin. The cabin (and entire ship) was spotless, and the beds were really comfortable.You can also bring your pets with you, and they provide overnight space for them as well.

The legroom on the seats may not have been brilliant, but I think that sort of seating is a good idea; I've never seen it on Dover to Dunkerque ferries, or on longer routes such as to Ireland. I thought€59 was a bit steep; Liverpool to Belfast would be a similar distance, and costs £22 one way on the daytime crossing. For an extra £22, you can have access to the first class lounge, with complementary snacks & drinks, including wine and beer. (I was driving, so I went easy on that part 🙂)
@CreativeEm 3 жыл бұрын
Liverpool or Holyhead to Ireland is only half the distance, if that, compared to this journey
@simonc7947 3 жыл бұрын
Liverpool to Belfast takes 8 hours without a stop, so I'd say it's similar timewise if not in distance. Holyhead is a long way further west, so ferries on that route are a lot quicker, as I experienced on the return journey: Dublin to Holyhead.
@NonstopEurotrip 3 жыл бұрын
That first class sounds great! **Puts on to-do list** I've only ever done the Holyhead-Dublin ferry 🏴🇮🇪
@simonc7947 3 жыл бұрын
I think there was complementary wine in the 1st class lounge on the Irish Ferries sailing from Dublin to Holyhead as well. I can't remember for certain as I was driving off the boat, so I had to remain sober. Railways throughout Ireland (Northern and Republic) are a wide gauge - I think it's 5'4". Would make an interesting trip. There are international trains from Belfast to Dublin. A lot of good scenery as well.

I’m planning on bringing my car back from Italy (where it’s been stuck since December) over the summer via Cittivechia-Barcelona ferry then Santander-Portsmouth ferry. Hopefully the Med crossing portion will be similar to your crossing. I did think about seeing if there were still such things as trains that take cars, like old fashioned motor-rail…is that still a thing?
@NonstopEurotrip 3 жыл бұрын
Wow that sounds like an adventure! There haven't been any motorrail trains in France since 2019 and no domestic Italian ones since well before that. In theory there is a Verona-Dusseldorf service which runs once a week but that hasn't run since the pandemic started. Unsure if/when it will start again. Tbh your best bet is probably the route you mentioned or just drive it back! Good luck! 👍🏻

Mallorca means a lot to me: I had forgotten that Big island and her little sister Minorca, but never Ibiza. Mallorca is linked to Quito, Ecuador and a woman with a vicuña throw. Ibiza is profoundly tied to a movie I saw at the 8th Street Cinema east of Sixth Avenue and the Waverly movie house. A movie called "Fake" by 3 famous grifters : a movie director, an author and an artist who fooled "experts" with his forgeries. These men, filmed by the director sat in Blazing white sunlight reflecting off the white adobe houses and many winding steps.
