Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Douglas to Dublin ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Dublin. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Douglas to Dublin is an ideal way to travel.

To enjoy the incredible sea view
Generally, when we go on holiday by the sea, we look for a sea view as much as possible (at the restaurant, at the hotel, on a hike...). During the Douglas Dublin crossing, whether you are on deck, dining in the restaurant or relaxing in the comfortable lounges of the Isle of Man Steam Packet ship, you will simply have a front row seat to the incredible spectacle that the sea offers. Everywhere, large windows give you an extraordinary view of the azure blue sea to make the most of its soothing power.
It's much less boring than on a plane
Generally speaking, to get to Dublin or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. On the other hand, during the Douglas Dublin crossing on the Isle of Man Steam Packet ferry, you have total freedom in your activities, to eat, walk, entertain or rest. A totally different experience to flying!
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
With the train, bus or plane, an excess of one free piece of luggage is often applied and each additional piece of luggage generates an additional cost. However, when you board a Isle of Man Steam Packet ferry in Douglas, you are free to take as much luggage as you like, as long as it is contained in your vehicle. If you are travelling as a pedestrian, the conditions may be more restrictive as you will need to carry your luggage with you until you arrive in Dublin.
