NIGHT FERRY FROM DUBLIN [Ghost Ship]: Stena Line to Holyhead - my first overnight ferry since 1986.

Perfect! No queues, screaming kids or people playing noisy games on their phones. Bliss

That actually looks like my ideal ferry crossing!!

Who needs a cabin when you can have an entire lounge or restaurant to yourself! Perfect

What's not to like?; easy, slow, relaxed, no crowds, no queues, the very opposite of being herded and stripped and jostled through airports in order to travel sardine class. I've been on these routes a few time in the last few weeks. I went by car, and enjoyed every minute of it, even the drive to London. You can keep airports, I like my bacon and eggs in comfort.

My friend im from greece and ive done quite a few ferry trips all over europe. And ive done this one as well in 1993. Hollyhead to Dublin and back in order to watch the european champions game between sherbourne rovers (ire) vs panathinaikos (gre). Beautiful and unforgettable experience. Beautiful country with the most beautiful friendly hospitable people!! The crossing was actually my first. I remember the name of the ferry 29 years ago. She was called Stenna Hibernia!! All the best my friend!!

Those of you who are old enough to remember ferry crossings 30/40 years ago will know the vessels then were very basic and uncomfortable, these new Stena vessels are more akin to cruise ships. Well done to Stena for providing such safe, comfortable vessels.

We get the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin and back quite a few times a year, in fact we're going again next week! Over night is always best for us so we get another full day in Ireland. The service station is a god send to us! Happy travels ☺️

Did this crossing 35 years ago as a 8 year old kid and it was a very rough crossing. As I ran around the ship carefree, it was full of people all over vomiting into anything they could find. It was like a scene from a horror movie. I have never seen so many people being sick at the same time. EVERY person (100s) had a full sick bag on their lap and everybody had red faces from vomiting. Happy days. Edit: Oddly enough, was never seasick although we made this journey every year but when I got to about 12 years old, I started to find that after getting off a ferry and being on land for an hour I would start to vomit! Land sickness. If that is not Irish, then I dont know what is.

Sad memories I crossed at 3 am in April 1960 my little brother mum and I that was the cheapest sailing and we were in steerage that meant the stern in the open air if it rained you could not shelter We had 6 hours notice that we were leaving Ireland . Have hated Wales ever since. Very successful in England ever since but never forgotten. At 75 the tricolour always fly from our home flagpole. Never the union jack while I am above ground.

The cabins are really comfortable, the bed are comfy, and the pristine sheets are crisp. 2.5 hours are sleep and the brilliant shower would wake the dead. I take that ferry a lot. Rail and Sail tickets are E44 E/W to almost anywhere in the UK from Dublin, on a flight I'd pay E50 to bring a guitar, the ferry is great.

Have done that crossing many times . Sometimes on a rough sea . It is not a bad crossing to be fair . Enjoyed video Scott . Look forward to the next one .

The scenery is beautiful and matches the sound track. Thanks very much for what you did Lawrence

That was an interesting perspective on what is a routine journey for some, it gave me a sense of excitement that I used to have when going on holiday to Britain or France many years ago, I must watch some more of your videos as I enjoy travelling myself👍

You really missed out big style! You didn't find your way to the leisure deck. This is where all the other passengers were; on their sun loungers, sipping cocktails around the swimming pool! LOL 😁

GHOST SHIP, Scott Looks like something fun to do exploring an empty ferry. Thanks for taking us.

Fair play doin that long ass walk to the terminal. 👍

Thanks for uploading this video, often wondered what the ferry was like, I've always flown to Dublin. One day I will do the crossing just for historical reasons really, so many of us Irish have made that trek.

I’ve been on this ferry 3/4 times a year for the last 20 odd years. I’ve never seen it that quiet.

You've just given me an idea for a horror story aboard a seemingly deserted ship.

A’bidy is in their beds chap! Even on the Cairnryan - Belfast route I nearly always get a cabin now; reduced rates for Xtra club members, not too much mingling with everyone else (Good in these times of lots of bugs) and a bed to kip for the crossing, meaning a tiny wee recharge before the next leg of the journey, it’s a no brainer, especially at that time of night. The only major downside is that neither Superfast VII or VIII have even one wheelchair accessible suite, so it’s a bit of a squeeze but it’s worth it.
