Steam Packet opens 2017 bookings

Operator confirms schedule and fares

Bookings open for 2017 Steam Packet sailings on Friday (14 Oct). 

The company says it has 900,000 seats available on special offer rates over the 12 month period.

The new schedule doesn't contain substantial timetable changes.

Sailings cover trips to and from Heysham on the Ben-my-Chree, weekend services to Birkenhead, and Manannan crossings between the Isle of Man and Liverpool during the summer season. 

Journeys between Douglas and Dublin and Belfast have also been confirmed.

The company has kept foot passenger fares at 2016 levels and will continue its flexible offer to further and higher education students studying off-Island.

Several deals are aimed at bike fans heading to the Island for TT 2017 - and residents who want to get away during the races.

Bookings open for the Festival of Motorcycling 2017, which this year saw passenger numbers rise by 6.3% on the previous year.
