Fastnet Line Ferries to Cork and South Wales
Facilities are as expected of a modern ferry company and include a selection of restaurants, bars, shops, a cinema, childrens area and comfortable kennels available for your pets.Fastnet Line is a new, independent company, set up in April 2009 following a long public campaign to reintroduce this much-missed car ferry service. It is funded by a co-operative of small private investors mainly from Cork, Kerry and South Wales, which has led to it being dubbed “The Peoples’ Ferry”.
The History of Fastnet Line Ferries |
 |
We are a very new company - but our executives and managers have years of experience in ferry, hotel and customer-service environments - and we aim to make the new ferry service the most convenient and comfortable way to cross the Irish Sea.
As well as offering the very best prices possible to individual passengers and families on the new service starting in March 2010 - we know that many of you are interested in partnering with Fastnet Line on a larger scale - either as Travel Agents, Holiday Home agencies or organisers of clubs and group travel.Cork is the Republic of Ireland’s second-largest city. It is situated in one of the world’s best natural harbours. Cork is the gateway to some of Ireland’s most stunning scenery with West Cork & Kerry barely an hours drive away.
Cork
The Cork/Kerry Region is a land of extremes, from rich rolling fields, brooding, isolated mountains, wild seascapes and craggy shorelines to some of the most beautiful gardens of sub tropical shrubs and blooms you can find anywhere. It is a subtle mix of many ingredients, of influences of other countries, of landscape and weather, of history and optimism.
Let the road guide you from the modern City of Cork or towns such as Killarney or Tralee to the quieter towns of West Cork or the Dingle Peninsula. Wherever you go you will find welcoming places to stay where the food is delicious and made from the best of local produce.
The climate is mild, the traffic outside the cities is quiet and when you do encounter a traffic jam it’s most likely to be a sign that a local “point to point” meeting, Gaelic football or Hurling match is about to start. Take advantage of the moment and watch the sky for signs of fast changing weather, a feature you rarely experience anywhere but on the edge of an island, on the edge of Europe.
Swansea
Swansea Bay is a place of impressive contrasts: City and country; historic and contemporary; grand parklands, and pounding surf.Swansea, Wales' city by the sea, has Viking roots and a long, eventful history. Home to innovative attractions and renowned for its awesome nightlife, it's a vibrant cultural centre, and a regional shopping hub. It is the perfect location to start your trip into the many beautiful areas of Wales, central & southern England, or to travel onwards towards Europe. London is just over 3 hours motorway driving away.
Just a stone's throw away, the charismatic seaside village of Mumbles offers galleries and boutiques, snug cafes and fine dining.
