Ferries to the Isle of Man from Belfast

The Belfast to Isle of Man route operates during the summer season (generally from late March to late October), with crossings taking just under three hours. The route is mainly served by the fast-craft ‘Manannan’ vessel, although occasionally the Ben-my-Chree will be used to transport passengers.

The Belfast ferry terminal has a small snack bar open for passengers during the check-in period, as well as passenger toilets.
