AED Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Has anyone used the new Irish Ferry service Dover to Calais ? I noticed their prices seem to undercut the other companies, usually this is to gain a foothold for new businesses .Which boats are they using ? Anything we might recognise bought from earlier failed companies or from the Dublin run ? What was their experience ? Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 The Irish Ferries website indicates that the ship being used on the Dover-to-Calais route is the “Isle of Inishmore” https://www.niferry.co.uk/isle-of-inishmore-irish-ferries/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Isle_of_Inishmore The new route was mentioned here in May (when I note you commented) https://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/Irish-Ferries-Dover-Calais-route/58230/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamRienza Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Not used the new route as I live in N. Ireland so tend to go Dublin Cherbourg. However I have used the boat which has been part of the Irish Ferries fleet for many years. It is a decent boat and worked on the ireland Wales routes (usually Rosslare/Pembroke) for as long as I can remember. The only things that I would comment on are, they tended to operate using few Irish crew, mostly European, and the currency used on the boat is (or was) euros. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Isle_of_Inishmore Davy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
