the new Cork-Swansea Ferry

Over the coming months  the Julia prepares to sail and you will be the first to know about any great introductory offers.

Some key points about the new Fastnet Line Wales to Ireland ferry service :-

• The service begins on 1^st March 2010 – and is planned to operate year-round – for convenient travel both in and out of season.

• Saves you 600km (375 miles) driving on a round trip and connects Cork direct to the M4 motorway (with hassle-free access to London, the south-west and the midlands)

• Sailings between Cork & Swansea planned six nights a week, with additional sailings during peak periods and for special events.

• Overnight sailings departing at 21.00 & arriving 07.00 next day – so you arrive relaxed and ready to continue your holiday or onward journey.

• Efficient, straightforward on-line booking system (coming soon) – so you don’t have to spend hours ‘on hold’ waiting for an operator.

• Over 300 Cabins and ample ‘Pullman’ seating, for a comfortable, relaxing trip

• Capacity for 1,860 passengers, 440 Cars, 40 Trucks – plenty of room for commercial and leisure travellers alike

• Extensive selection of Bars, Restaurants, Shopping, Cinema and Kids Area on board – not just a ferry crossing – more of a mini-cruise – your holiday starts the moment you get on-board!

• Julia is currently docked in Cork City at Horgan’s Quay preparing for initial sailing – if you’re in the area, come and see her from the quayside – she’s impressive!

• The Julia and Fastnet Line are owned by a co-operative of small investors – we aim to be the most customer-focused ferry service on the Irish Sea.
