  • The cheapest I can find it is £284 on the dates you wish to travel. But if you can be more flexible on the dates, then you could save about £40 on that price.

    There are only two ways to go to Cork by ferry.
    Irish Ferries from Pembroke to Rosslare or Stenaline from Fishguard to Rosslare.
    Depending where you're coming from Fishguard is about half an hour longer to get to.
    The journey from Rosslare to Cork City takes about 3 hours.
    The ferries take about the same time,they leave about the same time and prices on their websites are about the same.Funny isn't it ?
    Depending on the time of the year Stenaline offer a Lynx fast service which takes about half the time.
    The ferry company websites are always the cheapest and there are never any cost-cutting deals through any other sources.
    Those,I'm afraid,are the only options as the direct Cork to Swansea ferry isn't running this year although it may well do again in the future.

    You'll be wasting your time and money,that's why.
    Irish Ferries and Stenaline do not sell discounted ferry tickets to other agencies - you'll simply be paying the same as going through the ferry company websites plus a booking fee.
    Trust me - I make this journey about 15 times a year.

    Ive just done a price comparison. Prices for tomorrow were exactly the same for cheaperferries.com and stena line direct. I guess you pay your money and make your choice
