New Ferry Service Launches between Cork & Swansea
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 between Cork & Swansea. This Irish Sea route offers overnight sailings daily commencing March 1st 2010.
There is a long history to the popular Cork Swansea ferry link, bringing travellers across the Irish Sea, between Ireland & the U.K. The Cork ferry route to Swansea saves you 600km (375 miles) driving time per round trip.
This initative 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 service will start on the 1st March 2010. The Julia will sail from Swansea each Monday, Wednesday & Friday evenings & from Cork on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. During peak periods there will be additional daytime sailings. Fastnet Line will offer a comprehensive & competitive freight & car ferry service.
When onboard passengers can enjoy the many services the cruise ferry Julia provides. With an early morning arrival into the ports of Cork & Swansea, you will be close to all the best that south-west Ireland, Wales & England has to offer.
