Why travel by ferry from Cork to Swansea?

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

Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Cork to Swansea by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Like real hotel rooms, they offer travellers beds, bathrooms and, in some suites, portholes and balconies. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
Enjoy the fresh sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Cork-Swansea crossing, access the outside areas of the Fastnet Line ship to take a deep breath of air. The fresh sea air and the waves that rock the ferry will soothe you instantly. You'll arrive in Swansea feeling perfectly zen and energised.
Enjoy a very attentive staff
