A driver who took the overnight ferry from Birkenhead to Belfast with Stena Line found the process straightforward.

A driver recently made the overnight crossing from Birkenhead to Belfast with Stena Line, taking their own car on the ferry. The traveller found the port easy to locate with clear signposting, and the check-in process straightforward. At check-in, passengers receive all necessary information, including details for the premium lounge, and are directed to the ship without needing to leave their vehicle.

Driving onto the ferry is a slow process as vehicles load, but the experience proved enjoyable. Once aboard, staff direct drivers to their parking spaces and provide important instructions, including turning off car alarms to prevent them activating overnight. The traveller praised the service received from staff throughout both the outbound and return journeys.

The main lesson learned was the importance of timing. While arriving with adequate time is sensible, arriving too early means sitting idle in the waiting area. The traveller suggests giving yourself plenty of time but avoiding excessive early arrival.
