Largest and fastest ferry newcomer launched on the Irish Sea

Irish Ferries’ Oscar Wilde, the largest and fastest cruise ferry on the Irish Sea and aims to live up to the famous Oscar Wilde quote’“I have the simplest of tastes. I am always satisfied with the best’. The ship has an impressive capacity of 2,080 passengers, 134 well-appointed cabins, and ample space with over 2,380 lane meters for cars, coaches, and freight vehicles.

With service starting just in time for the peak summer season, the vessel will service the Rosslare and Pembroke route with twice-daily sailings, offering an elevated experience connecting Ireland to the UK. Irish customers can sail directly to Wales, a place of natural drama, with beautiful beaches and mountain walks, rich history, and culture to explore, as well as epic national parks

The route is also a gateway to the rest of Britain with the car – Windsor and Legoland can be reached in under 4 hours - thus avoiding security queues, luggage limits, cramped journeys, and excessive car hire costs.

The ten Spanish destinations direct from Cork Airport are the six to mainland Spain (Seville, Malaga, Alicante, Valencia, Girona, Reus), three to the Canary Islands (Lanzarote, Tenerife, Gran Canaria) and one to the Balearic Islands (Palma de Mallorca).
