Why travel by ferry from Larne to Cairnryan?

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

No need to worry about travelling with your bike
On the train, bus or plane, it is often very complicated and sometimes impossible to travel with this cumbersome companion: your bike. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. You leave it there for the duration of the Larne-Cairnryan crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will get on your bike in Cairnryan to get off the boat.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Larne to Cairnryan by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
To enjoy the incredible sea view
When we are on the coast, we often look for places that offer the best sea view. During the Larne Cairnryan 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.
