Holyhead to Dublin Black Friday Deals

Neither Stena Line nor Irish Ferries has announced a Black Friday 2026 discount on Holyhead to Dublin yet. The cheapest fares on this route are usually night sailings and midweek dates, so compare both operators for your date in the booking box on this page. Check the current Holyhead to Dublin ferry timetable first.

Remember that since 28 September 2026 every passenger on Irish Sea crossings between Britain and the Republic of Ireland needs a valid passport or Irish passport card (see our passport guide). Belfast routes are not affected.

Tips for Getting the Best Black Friday Ferry Deal

  • Know your dates first. Most sales cover travel months ahead, and some exclude Christmas or summer peaks. Check the travel window before you book.
  • Read the fare type. Many discounts apply only to flexible fares or to the vehicle price, not cabins and lounges.
  • Compare with a normal fare. A cheap night sailing outside the sale can still beat a discounted peak sailing.
  • Book before the deadline. Most 2025 sales closed between 30 November and 8 December, and prices rose straight after.
