Ferry Fishguard-Dublin
Ferry between Fishguard and Dublin
Travelling between the United Kingdom and Ireland from Southern Wales
Stena Line has launched a new route between the UK (Wales) and Ireland. Travellers can now sail directly from South Wales: from Fishguard straight to Dublin by ferry. Initially, this crossing appears to operate once a day, taking around 6.5 hours to cover the 100+ miles across the Irish Sea.
It’s a great alternative to the Holyhead-Dublin crossing for those living in Southwest England or Wales. On the map below, you can see this route alongside the existing crossing from Holyhead to Dublin.
For now the crossing from Holyhead to Dublin is on hold until the 15th of January 2025.

Worried About Seasickness?
If you’re prone to seasickness, it’s better to book the regular ferry.
- If unexpected rough weather occurs, here are the best places to sit to minimise seasickness:
- Sit near the middle of the ferry where movement is least noticeable.
- Avoid the front or upper decks, as these areas feel the most motion.

Can you please tell us when the Fishguard to Dublin crossing will be added to the online booking options? Really need to be able to check prices for different dates, check room availability etc too.
Hi Graeme,
It is already in the booking module at the Stena Line website. I think you might have overlooked it.
