Stena ferry booking

Please note that Stena take it for granted that you need a cabin on an 8 hour daylight sailing from Liverpool to Belfast. Take care that you UN-CLICK that option on the booking in page otherwise you will lose a few quid and may not need the cabin.
Havn't checked if they are doing the same on other sailings.

    They are charging for 'dinner' and breakfast on the overnight sailings too, which used to be included in the fare!

    We sailed Larne Cairnryan last week with P&O and had an altogether better experience, will probably use their Dublin Liverpool route rather than the Belfast Birkenhead route with Stena, not just for cost reasons!

    Stena have only recently taken over this route, It was Norfolkline, then DFDS. It still has to be approved by the Competition Commission. The route was not profit making for either so lets see if Stena can make a go of it.

    EDIT As this has not been finalised yet you cannot book on the Stena website! Where did you get that from OP?
