Irish Ferries’ Isle of Inishmore is setting sail on its new Dover-Calais route to offer a new choice for travelling across the Channel – once travel restrictions are lifted.
The Isle of Inishmore ship has undergone extensive refurbishments for the new service – including an upgraded Club Class Lounge, with 360-degree sea views, and spacious passenger areas. There is free wi-fi, Boylan’s Brasserie or Café Lafayette and a Duty Free shop.
Andrew Sheen, managing director, Irish Ferries, says: “Our newly-launched route between Dover and Calais brings even more choice for travelling between the UK and France. We’re delighted to bring a little bit of Ireland to this route, and after months of travel limitations, we know that people are very eager to see family and friends, re-ignite business relations, and escape their everyday and take a much-needed holiday. We are in the business of connectivity and want to enable those special memories to be created once travel is permitted again.”
Doug Bannister, chief executive, Port of Dover, adds: “We offer a very warm welcome to Irish Ferries and are delighted to see their operations commence from the UK’s busiest international ro-ro port. We wish Irish Ferries every success for their new venture with us.”
