We've just returned from a recent trip back to Ireland on board the Oscar Wilde. The crossings was faultless. Wonderful staff who just constantly wanted to help. Clean and fresh cabins. It was just exactly how the author of the article had described their trip on the wonderful Oscar Wilde. We chilled, the kids Facebooked, we read books and sipped... More

My wife and I have been travelling Rosslare to Cherbourg (and return) by car ferry since 1999 but our travel experience was transformed since the introduction of Irish Ferries' Oscar Wilde carrier. This is, undoubtedly, our favourite form of travel - comfortable (3-star) cabin en suite with window, great food in their brasserie (try their coq-au-vin and their Cote du... More

Recently returned to France on the Oscar Wilde, from Rosslare to Cherbourg. Was a little dubious about arrival time, as had been informed by text that on tuesday a 10 hr delay was experienced. However even leaving Rosslare an hour late on the Friday we arrived according top schedule in France. Had an inside 2 star cabin, no problem nice... More

I have used Irish ferries Rosslare - Pembroke many times in the last 12 months. GREAT. I have used either Club Class or had a cabin every trip. Good price for cabins. Club Class is well worth it. Helpful crew. So much better than some other ferry companies. I was on the ferry April 4th 2012 when due to high... More

Usually travel with Stena line but decided to try Irish ferries for a change. Easy to book, fast check in, well signposted from M50 motorway. Only 2 hours Dublin-Holyhead. Will use again More

Just arrived back from a great couple of days in Ireland. Had a lovely trip, good food and good guinness!! The sailing on Irish Ferries was very good, just one bad point, the coffee was awful. We had coffee on the outward sailing that was not very good, had another cup on the return sailing and did not drink it... More
