    Stena out of Belfast I would say.

    If you have Tesco vouchers you can use them to pay for it.

    P&O out of Larne have the shortest sailing over the summer and they also go the nearest to Glasgow saving some driving miles. But it an extra 30miles past Belfast, so that 60 extra round trip, or over an hours travel time.

    Limerick Dublin Belfast (Larne) motorway all the way.

    We've done the P&O Larne to Cairnryan saling which is grand.
    I agree the final stretch from Belfast to Larne was a bit of a drag.

    Did Ballycastle to Cambelltown (Mull of Kintyre) ever get going again? Would only be useful for the West Coast of Scotland - nae Glasgow.

    As far as I remember Larne don't do Stranaer, it's Belfast - Stranraer, Larne -Cairnryan, but personally in the summer months I do Larne - Troon, cuts out alot of the slow journey up from Cairnryan dock and leaves you just south west of Glasgow by far the best route.

    Cheers Gene,
    i've been searching the troon sailing but it doesn't seem to allow for caravans, the P&O website keeps redirecting me to the cairnryan port instead.
    does anyone know if you can bring a caravan on the troon sailing?
