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

Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane

But you are stuck in your seat, strapped in by your seatbelt, and there is almost no opportunity to travel.

For the comfort of a cabin
Although booking a cabin on the Cairnryan to Larne crossing is optional, it is a comfort that should be enjoyed. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. While their use is most obvious on an overnight crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
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 Cairnryan Larne crossing, whether you are on deck, dining in the restaurant or relaxing in the comfortable lounges of the P&O Ferries ship, you will simply have a front row seat to the incredible spectacle that the sea offers.
