Ferries to the Isle of Man

Thinking of heading to the stunning Isle of Man this year?

Thought about taking the ferry?

If you haven’t considered it before it’s time to explore travel to the Isle of Man by ferry with Premier Holidays’ fantastic sea-travel offers! Comfortable, reliable and surprisingly fast the ferry provides the perfect hassle-free way to reach your destination. You will arrive feeling totally relaxed and ready to start your holiday or short break in style.

Not only great value for money, travelling by ferry also gives you complete freedom. You can travel with your own car if you wish to be independent, and it’s a wonderfully relaxed way to start your journey. Just pack up the car, head to the port and jump on the ferry. When you reach the other side you will have everything you need to begin your Isle of Man adventure, and this option is particularly popular with families.

You can even take your beloved pets on board with you and there’s no doubt they would love the Isle of Man just as much as you! With acres of green fields and fresh sea air it’s a dog’s haven – they may even fancy a dip in the water!

Alternatively you can board as a foot passenger and hire a car while you are out there. We can cater for all requirements, whether you need a fancy little run around or facilities to accommodate a car seat. It does give you that little bit of added freedom enabling you to head to the beaches, enjoy the world heritage sites and explore the islands at your leisure, so just ask our dedicated Travel Consultants at the time of booking and they will be more than happy to provide you with the options.

Crossings to the Isle of Man are operated by Steam Packet. Premier Holidays work closely with Steam Packet to ensure we can always give you the best offers and prices available to you at the time of booking (even if that means a lower price than the brochure one!) Steam Packet are the leading ferry company to the Isle of Man and offer a friendly service throughout your journey. You can travel from Liverpool or Heysham on the high speed sea-cat service. Alternatively enjoy a more leisurely cruise on the ferry. The high speed sea-cat service offers a cafeteria and on-board shop whilst the ferry features licensed bars, film shows, games room and lift.

Whilst on board the ferries you have the freedom to take a stroll onto the deck and breathe in the fresh sea air, or to enjoy the journey relaxing in your own comfortable seat. All of the ferries have on board duty free shopping which you can take advantage of to your heart’s content.
