Why travel by ferry from Douglas to Larne?

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

So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
One piece of luggage is free, all the others have to be paid for. This is often the formula used when we travel with other modes of transport, which very often leads to a significant increase in the bill. 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 Larne. However, it is worth asking the Isle of Man Steam Packet staff if the ship has a luggage storage facility where you can leave your bags until you reach Larne.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
If you compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to get from Douglas to Larne. But it's not always pleasant to be tied to your seat for long hours. On the other hand, during the Douglas Larne crossing on the Isle of Man Steam Packet ferry, you have total freedom in your activities, to eat, walk, entertain or rest. The services and the level of freedom during a flight are radically different!
To not get tired, unlike in the car

On board, depending on the Isle of Man Steam Packet ship in service, everything is designed to give you time to relax in the calm of comfortable reclining lounges, to lounge on the outside decks, to entertain and to have fun. No doubt you'll arrive in Larne completely relaxed.
