The summer months might be behind us and we know it's not easy to plan ahead.

To help you, we’ve improved our Flexibility Option on sailings to Ireland, and our sailings are now open right up to January 3rd 2021.

If you book now for Autumn or (and we won't say it too loud) the Christmas season, you can easily amend your booking with our improved Flexibility option as often as you need and all you'll pay is the difference in fare if there is one.

Or should the need arise and you have to cancel, we have some favourable terms including 100% credit if you cancel up to 48 hours before travel.

To ensure that both passengers and crew can ‘Travel Safe’, we have introduced additional measures at ports and onboard our ships. Relax in the knowledge you can check in from the security of your own car, relax onboard with enough room to keep distance in comfort, and enjoy fresh sea air outside on deck. And of course, we’ve intensified our onboard cleaning routines and adapted our services for everyone's safety.

So whether you want to reunite with family and friends or enjoy a well-earned seasonal break, we're here to help you get away.

Terms & Conditions

Flexibility Option must be purchased at time of booking. No charge for amending a flexibility option booking but you will have to pay any increase in the fare, if applicable. Cancellation rules apply to any outstanding balances. If travel dates are amended and the booking is then subsequently cancelled the cancellation fee is based on the original date of outward travel. Promotional and sale fares may attract special terms and conditions relating to amendment and cancellation charges which will be listed on the relevant fare pages over the course of the offer booking period.

Amendment fees and rules

We are very happy to allow changes to bookings. Costs apply to some changes

For motorist, motorcycle and foot passenger bookings for travel up to 30 November 2020, customers can amend their booking to a later travel date anytime up to 30 November 2020, and we will waive the amendment fees. Amendments need to be completed at least 72 hours before travel, and fare difference will apply where applicable.
For all motorist bookings for travel from 01 December 2020, an amendment fee of £20 / €25 per amendment will apply.
Foot-passenger bookings for travel from 01 December 2020: A £8/€10 fee applies every time a booking is changed. If a change applies to both the outward and return sailings, then the fee is £16/€20. This fee is in addition to any increase in fare.
For all amendments, an increase in fare may apply to a change to route, date or time for travel dates up to 18 Dec 2020. All changes must be made before the existing travel dates on the booking have expired. Amendment fees will be charged on each occasion that a journey on the booking is amended. There is no amendment fee but there may be an increase in fare for changes to the number of passengers travelling on each journey, vehicle type, updating or adding a trailer, caravan or cabin or by adding Club Class.

Changes can be made online and in app via 'Manage Booking'.
