Update 10th March -  06.00 p.m.

The Julia has now left Swansea dock and is currently approaching the ferry terminal to board its first  passengers  prior to its departure for Cork at 21.50 hours this evening.

 

"Our core objective in Fastnet Line is to operate a profitable ferry service. We have a clear set of goals over the next 2 years that we will deliver on. We want to build a top class team who will make the Cork Swansea ferry service a reality. We aim to create a flagship service that will showcase what's best about the South West of Ireland, we will market the service and grow tourism and employment. We aim to facilitate trade between the southwest of Ireland and Wales UK and we will ensure the long term viability of the business."

 

The new Swansea to Cork route will commence with an inaugural sailing from Cork in March, and then follow a regular schedule.

This new ferry service saves 600km (375 miles) driving on a round trip and connects the M4 Motorway in the UK directly to Cork on Ireland's South coast. The service will offer overnight sailing 6 nights a week (Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday from Cork and Wednesday, Friday & Sunday from Swansea) departing at 21:00 and arriving at 7:00 the next morning. Additional sailings will be added in the high season.

The MV Julia has capacity for up to 1,860 passengers, 440 cars, 40 trucks and over 300 cabins on board for a comfortable journey. Facilities include a selection of restaurants, bars, shops, cinema, children's area and comfortable kennels available for your pets.
