Question

I wonder if it is possible to travel From Ireland to Mainland Europe by Sea ? Then what is it ? Thanks.

Answer 1

Previous answer from Courtney is correct Irishferries has a service from Rosslare and a spanking new boat coming along shortly.  It was about time.

Also you could check the french company Brittany Ferries, from Cork to Roscoff.

Answer 2

Yes.  Take the ferry from Rosslare, County Wexford to Cherbourg, France (normandy) or Roscoff, France (Brittany).

Timetable:

Rosslare - Cherbourg Depart 16.00 Arrive 11.30 next day

Rosslare - Roscoff Depart 17.00 Arrive 11.00 next day

However, there will no service between Ireland and France from Sunday 4th November to Wednesday 29th November inclusive on Irish Ferries.

Answer 3

You can take the ferry from Rosslare Wexford to Cherbourg or Le Havre in France. You can take a ferry from Cork to Roscoff in Brittany at certain times of the year only.  You can also travel landbridge from Dublin to Holyhead in Britain then take a train or drive to the south coast and get any number of ferries over to France, e.g. Newhaven to Dieppe, Dover to Calais. You can also get a ferry from the south coast of England to Belgium.
