Thrill seekers can enjoy a mid-week break from only €90* per adult, per night (based on a 2 night stay). This great price includes return travel by car from Dublin Port to Holyhead, hotel accommodation and one full day entry into Alton Towers (2 adults & 2 children).

Football loving families can cheer on their favourite football teams including Liverpool, Everton, Manchester United and Manchester City by taking advantage of Stena Line’s special football day trip fare from only €40* per person and travel Dublin Port to Holyhead or Rosslare to Fishguard.

For families that would like to take the car and explore Britain at their leisure, Stena Line offers a fantastic fare from only €79* single for a car and driver on any of Stena Line’s Irish Sea routes. By taking the car customers can bring all the luggage they need for their mid-term break and won’t have to worry about any additional charges involved with flying such as baggage charges, check-in charges, airport parking and car hire.

Stena Line’s communications manager Eamonn Hewitt, says the ferry company understands the strains parents are under during the mid-term holidays.

“The mid-term holidays are a great way for families to spend time together. But given that the kids are only off school for one week, a short break or day trip away to the football are the ideal solutions to making the most of the holiday. That’s why we have put together this great selection of ideas to help entertain the whole family, that won’t cost a fortune, and we have something to suit everyone.”
