Family fun on the high seas

Thinking up ways to keep children entertained while travelling to a holiday destination can be hard for parents…there are only so many games of ‘I Spy’ that can be played on one journey! However, families travelling with Irish Ferries’ on either the Ulysses or Dublin Swift - the two ships on the Holyhead/Dublin route – will benefit from extra ‘crew’ in the form of children’s entertainers who will keep the youngsters amused 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 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.

For bookings made before 28 July and 14 days before date of travel, there’s a special offer of £99 each way for a midweek crossing in July and August for a car and two adults, with all children travelling free.
