These additional sailings are already booking heavily to facilitate those who need to get to and from the UK whilst flights are still grounded. The cost of a crossing per foot passenger is a very reasonable €42.

Any further additional sailings outside of those scheduled will be announced as soon as a decision is made.

It is expected that heavier volumes of traffic will be experienced throughout this week on all sailings. Paul O’Brien General Manager West Cork Tourism Co-op
