When you think of a trip to Ireland, you probably picture rolling green landscapes, lively pubs, or dramatic cliffs. But before you can enjoy all that, you have to get there! If you’re considering taking the ferry to the land of leprechauns, booking a cabin is a must. It’s truly the ideal solution for a comfortable journey! But what should you expect? How much does it cost? Here are all the reasons why traveling in comfort is the way to go.
Ferry crossings to Ireland can last several hours, or even overnight, depending on your departure port (Cherbourg, Roscoff, or Dunkirk). Instead of sitting in a seat or wandering the deck, a cabin gives you a real comfort zone to start your adventure smoothly.
Traveling with kids or friends can quickly become tiring in shared spaces. With a cabin, everyone has a place to rest and store their belongings.
If you’re torn between the ferry and other transport options, the cabin is a strong argument for choosing the boat. On a plane, you’re limited in space and comfort, but on a ferry, your cabin becomes a floating mini-hotel room.
Many routes to Ireland, such as those operated by Brittany Ferries or Irish Ferries, include overnight sailings. In these cases, a cabin is almost essential.
While cabins may add a little extra to your fare, they’re often very affordable—especially if you share with friends or family.
Tip: Book early to get the best rates. Economy cabins sell out fast, especially in high season!
Traveling in a cabin turns your crossing into a real adventure. Take time to relax, admire the sea from the deck, then retreat to your private space whenever you like. With a bit of luck, you might even spot dolphins or seabirds along the way!
Ferry companies offer different types of cabins to suit your needs and budget:
Good to know: Some cabins are even pet-friendly if you’re traveling with your four-legged companion.
