IF is double winner

It’s official! Irish Ferries is Ireland’s favourite ferry company...to be sure, to be sure.

In the space of just one day, the ‘best ferry’ title was awarded to the company at two separate prize giving ceremonies held in Dublin recently – both won against competition from all of the UK and Continental ferry companies operating into and out of Ireland.

The first award - one that the company has won on a number of occasions in the past - was presented by the influential travel industry magazine Irish Travel Trade News based on responses received from Irish travel industry staff.

Later on the same day, at an inaugural awards ceremony hosted by the Irish Travel Agents Association, the company was again called to the podium to receive their Best Ferry Company award, also voted upon by staff in each travel agent’s office up and down the country.

Delighted with their success, Irish Ferries Marketing Director Tony Kelly commented “our staff can be doubly proud of their achievement – the first time that any ferry company has taken two top awards on the same day.”
