Larne to Cairnryan

Three conventional fast ferries make nine daily return crossings between them in a time of just 1 hour, 45 minutes. Located in the southwest of Scotland, Port Cairnryan has excellent passenger and freight facilities, with a comfortable lounge, a children's play area, baby changing facilities, a snack bar, a convenience store and disabled facilities.

Larne to Fleetwood

The Larne to Fleetwood service is operated by Stena Line and is also very popular, owing to its proximity to Blackpool.

Fleetwood is a major roll-on, roll-off port and is well connected to the world famous seaside resort of Blackpool. Port facilities are limited, however, with a convenience store and coffee shop available.

Larne to Troon

The Larne to Troon ferry route is a passenger-only seasonal service operated by P&O Irish Sea that runs from March to October. There are two crossings per day on this route with a journey time of under 2 hours.
