travelling by sea

The Isle of Man Steam Packet provides passenger and vehicle services between the port of Douglas and four ports in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Fastcraft and conventional vessels make up a modern fleet providing high levels of onboard service.

Routes

Douglas to Heysham
A year round service for passengers, cars and freight operates between Heysham and the Isle of Man. Twice daily services are operated by the Ben-my-Chree, a conventional vessel which came into service in 1998. Additional fastcraft operate a two hour crossing as peak times during the summer months.

Douglas to Liverpool
A year round service for passengers and cars operates between Liverpool and the Isle of Man.  Fastcraft vessels provide twice daily sailings from April to the end of October with a crossing time of 2 hours 30 minutes. In autumn and winter, a service is operated at weekends with conventional vessels replacing the fastcraft.

Douglas to Belfast and Dublin
Services for passengers and cars to Dublin and Belfast are operated by fastcraft three times weekly between April and October, with a crossing time to both ports of 2 hours 45 minutes.
