Stena Line | Fishguard - Goodwick

Did the Rosslare to Fishguard Duty Free Day Trip return and it was a lovely day out. It was great being able to move about the ferry. The food in the restaurant and cafe bar was nice. Duty Free shopping aboard was very convenient. As foot passengers, you are last to embark and last to disembark as you have to go via the car deck (a bus drops and collects you there), so safety is paramount? Factor in a bit of extra time for that while the vehicles go 1st. We upgraded to the reclining loungers on the way back for £10 each. Each chair has USB phone chargers and there is unlimited tea and various coffees available. I would definitely go again and would recommend it. Only thing I would recommend being aware of, is that you don't have a lots of time once you land to go anywhere outside of the terminal, so it is literally a land and turn around situation in Fishguard.

Awful. Had 3 crossings from Fishguard to Rosslare cancelled in a row. The first one cancelled a few hours by txt on Sunday 6th April. So had to find alternative accommodation. I had to ring to rearrange another ferry. Next available Monday 7th April at 2pm. Again cancelled by txt a few hours prior. Again I had to ring to rearrange. Offered 1am on Tuesday 8th April. I was reluctant to accept because of it being early hours in the morning with 2 young kids...not ideal. Guess what.... The next crossing cancelled again. Technical issue. Was put on the 2:45am crossing with Irish ferries at a different port. My stress levels were now heightened. I had to drive through the night to another port. Got to Ireland in the early morning on the Tuesday. All absolutely exhausted Tuesday was a right off. We had centre parcs booked where we lost 2 days. Paid for but can't get a refund. So stena line hasn't been in touch to apologise. So stena line cost me more money in finding accommodation and lost days/quality time in our paid for holiday. Sadly really disappointed as no one has offered any type of discount or refund for the big impact these cancellations had our short family holiday.

Nice staff, very thoughtful and helpful, light atmosphere and clear rules and instructions. Good service before and after boarding the ferry as well. Although it was raining, we managed to stay dry and warm all the time. Really comfortable travel.

Travelled to ireland on the stena norvica. Very clean and tidy, everywhere looked fresh. It was a duck pond sailing over and also the same a week later when coming home, we were so very lucky with the weather. All staff were very helpful (including the port crews) .

Picking up a trailer of Stena and because of Holyhead being closed it’s an absolute nightmare, 5 hours all in lost in a days work as there is no space to put trailers in this port

Usual Stena Line efficiency. You pull up to a cabin, confirm your details and then you’re told to go through security and then to your designated lane.

At security I did have to get out of the car and a member of staff had a look in, whilst I was patted down by a security guard; that’s a first.

We decided to have the breakfast, I think £12.75p is a bit steep for what you get but it was filling.

As usual the staff in the ship were friendly, helpful and polite.

The only downside was that Fishguard to Dublin is not a normal route and the journey is 6.5hrs.

The upside is there aren’t many people travelling, only 6 people in the stena lounge and embarking/ disembarking is a breeze.

Once again another relaxing trip across the waters.

Great crossing to Ireland today

Food was good, beer was cold and service was excellent.

Layout and amenities were good. A very comfortable ride. Duty free shop on board.
