At present all ferry operators on the Irish Sea are currently offering “deals” in line with customer’s expectations and to encourage volume full occupancy sailings during the peak summer season.

Fastnet Line (fastnetline.com) is delighted to announce our many summer deals including Short Breaks & Mini Cruises, a policy that we intend to continue into the autumn and winter seasons. The Swansea-Cork Cruise Ferry 2011 / 12 annual schedules will be released on August 8th. Our new schedule will take account the recent addition of Swansea FC to the Premiership to accommodate travelling Irish Supporters.

Today, July 5th 2011 the ships new Tourist Office, which will be manned full time for the Summer Months by Irish and Welsh members of the West Cork Co – Op, will be officially opened by the new Cork County Mayor Tim Lombard (pictures to follow). This new facility will provide information and be an advanced booking system for all accommodation, leisure, and hospitality facilities in both Ireland and Wales.”
