By Sea
There is a choice of sailings from the South West of England to Rosslare, on the south-eastern tip of Ireland:-
Stenaline: Operate two daily 3½ hour crossings (all year) and two daily 1¾ hour high speed sailings (from March to September) from Fishguard.
Irish Ferries: Operate twice daily crossings to Rosslare from Pembroke, which take 4 hours, but the driving time from London takes half an hour less than to Fishguard, and their cabins are much more comfortable.
