Baggage restrictions don't apply - Irish Ferries

The announcement that a second major Irish airline is to restrict passengers to one item of cabin baggage has led Irish Ferries to remind those thinking of travelling to Britain or the Continent that such restrictions do not apply when travelling by ferry.

Whether as a motorist or foot passenger, those travelling by ferry are unlimited in terms of the baggage they can bring.

"With shorter pre-departure check-in, the absence of body screening, the availability of club class service and the freedom to bring what you like, the experience one gets when travelling by ferry is infinitely more stress free," their head of passenger sales Dermot Merrigan said.
