The HSS Stena Explorer fast ferry service made a welcome return on the Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire route on Saturday 24 February. Following a refit at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast the craft has returned having received a £1.75 million (£1.17 million) refurbishment including a new seating area at the rear of the craft.

Stena Line route director Vic Goodwin is delighted to have the Stena Explorer, which offers the fastest crossing from Wales to Ireland, back in action.

“We are delighted to have her back on the route. The Stena Explorer plays an important part in helping us maintain and strengthen Stena Line’s position as market leader on the Irish Sea,” said Vic.

The Stena Explorer, which carries 1,500 passengers, 350 cars and/or 50 trucks, operates two return trips per day between Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire. On board facilities include an exclusive Stena Plus lounge, luxurious lounges, bars, shops and kiddie areas.

Stena Line offers customers the biggest fleet and the widest choice of routes from Ireland to Britain, with ten ferries operating across five routes including the Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire and Dublin Port, Fishguard to Rosslare, Stranraer to Belfast and Fleetwood to Larne routes. The company carries more than three million passengers on its Irish Sea routes each year, more than its rival ferry operators combined.
