Irish Ferries is going all out this summer to ensure that parents never hear the cry ‘are we nearly there’.

For joining the crew on board Ulysses and Dublin Swift - the two ships on the Holyhead/Dublin route – are children’s entertainers who will keep the children enthralled with balloon modelling, face painting and general clowning around.

The ships also have designated children’s play areas with soft-play equipment and mini-cinemas showing cartoons and films.

And while the kids are being entertained, parents can kick-back, relax and enjoy ‘grown up’ facilities such as comfortable lounges, bars and restaurants, plus on-board cinemas and shops.

Travel on Irish Ferries’ modern, fast fleet is aimed at being an enjoyable part of the whole holiday experience with, in addition to on-board entertainment and facilities, the benefits of short check-in times, no baggage restrictions and a ‘sit where you like’ policy.

Prices start from as little £116 for a midweek crossing in July for car, two adults and two children.
