Combine a short break in Dublin with some great Christmas shopping - and take the car so there’s virtually no limit to what can be brought home.

Between 1 November and 15 December, Irish Ferries Holidays has three-night breaks with breakfast at the three-star, city-centre Regency Hotel for just £99 per person (saving £34 each) when four adults travel, inclusive of return cruise ferry crossing from Holyhead for car and passengers.

Shopping opportunities include a choice of special Christmas markets - including a Bavarian themed event in Docklands - plus the many shops along and around O’Connell Street which will be all decked out in their finest festive decorations.
