Getting to Dublin by Ferry
Getting to Dublin by sea couldn't be easier. Regular, scheduled
ferry services operate between Ireland and the UK bringing
both foot passengers and cars and other vehicles into the
city through Dublin’s two ferry ports, Dublin Port and
Dun Laoghaire.
Dun Laoghaire is six miles south of the city centre. The
DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transport) train service will take
you to and from the centre in less than half an hour. Dublin
Port is closer to the centre and is served by the local number
53 bus and by special buses meeting arrivals to the Port.
Irish Ferries operate from Dublin Port to Holyhead, Wales
with two vessels; the cruise ferry, 'Ulysses' - the world's
largest car ferry, and the fast ferry 'Dublin Swift'. 'Ulysses'
makes two return sailings a day departing at 0905 and 2105
and has a journey time of just over three hours. The Dublin
Swift has three daily sailings and takes one hour and forty-five
minutes. Please
contact Irish Ferries for specific information as adjustments
to the times of sailings are sometimes necessary.
