Spring Breaks with Stena

There’s a host of springtime offers available to Ireland with Stena Line with big savings on offer too. Couples in the north of England and Wales can take advantage of a cut-price offer from Stena on day-trips to Ireland if they book before April 17. Ticket prices for two adults start at £69 between Holyhead-Dublin on the HSS Explorer.

With the boat journey taking just 99 minutes passengers have more time to soak up the sights or catch up on some shopping.

The ship departs the Welsh port four times a day and an upgrade to the ferry’s luxurious Stena Plus lounge costs just £10.

With the first ferry leaving Holyhead at 8.55am and the last leaving Dublin at 10.15pm, there is plenty to pack into your day.

Meanwhile, Stena Line Holidays has put together a magnificent boating holiday for leisurely souls on the Shannon, and if you book before April 11, you can save £300.

An example includes a reduced rate at £1,564 for a boating holiday for six to eight people on a Clare class boat between July 5 and August 22. To book, call 08705 747474.

And also with Stena you can escape the pace of everyday life with a luxurious break at a four-star Irish castle from just £114.

Cabra Castle is a magnificent historic building with its own golf course plus angling and horse riding available nearby for the more active — all just one hour’s drive from Dublin.

Prices are per person and includes travel by car and ferry. Prices are based on two people sharing a twin or double room for two nights. Booking must be made by April 17.

You can celebrate spring too with a two night-break in Dublin or Waterford from just £98.

Price is per person and includes hotel accommodation at the tranquil and friendly Mount Herbert Hotel in Dublin plus travel by car and ferry (Holyhead to Dublin crossing). Prices are based on two people sharing a twin or double room for two nights. Bookings must be made by April 17.

In Waterford you’ll stay at the luxurious Tower Hotel (this hotel has superb leisure facilities included in the price) plus travel by car and ferry on the Fishguard to Rosslare crossing.

Prices are based on two people sharing a twin or double room for two nights. Again, bookings must be made by April 17.
