Stena Line adds extra Christmas Eve sailings
Stena Line has added an extra sailing from both Belfast and Cairnryan for today, 24 December.
It comes after a challenging few weeks for ferry operators on the Irish Sea.
The ferry berths at Holyhead Port remain closed due to damage caused by Storm Darragh while Sunday’s ferry crossing was cancelled due to severe weather conditions.
At the same time Belfast City Airport flights were disrupted for the day after a ‘hard landing’ closed down the runway.
To try and alleviate the build-up of passenger traffic at ports, Stena Line has added an extra sailing, at 23.30hrs from both Belfast and Cairnryan on 24th December.
Stena Line currently has very limited space available on its earlier Christmas Eve sailings – 03:30hrs, 07:30hrs, 11:30hrs, 15:30hrs with more availability on the 19:30hrs sailings.
Stena Line Trade Director Paul Grant said: “We understand how challenging the last few weeks have been for many of our customers.”
“Recent weather and operational challenges have led to significant disruptions across our Irish Sea route network.”
Grant added: “Our colleagues have worked around the clock to assist anyone who still needs to travel, and I am pleased to confirm we have added an extra 23:30hrs sailing on Christmas Eve from both Belfast and Cairnryan. We sincerely appreciate and thank everyone for their support and patience.”
Stena Line bookings can be made online at stenaline.co.uk and stenaline.ie .
