Ship Information:
In order to assist, we need to be aware of your needs. So, please let us know at least 2 working days before you travel by emailing us at disabilityofficer@irishferries.com.
Your booking will be flagged if you have informed us in advance that you have reduced mobility, and we will try to position your vehicle close to the passenger lift on-board, thereby making the transfer from the car deck to the upper passenger deck areas as easy as possible. If you are travelling as a wheelchair passenger, please make sure to add “Passenger with Wheelchair” to your booking. If you or someone you are travelling with has a hidden disability, you can request a Sunflower lanyard - click here for more information.
