Irish Ferries

Have traveled on Oscar wilde lots of times but looking at sailing out of Dublin port for a change and I see that it’s the Epsilon was wondering what it’s like as I have never sailed on her ,Would I be better to stay with Oscar ?

We sailed on Epsilon September 2016 from Dublin to Cherbourg and whilst I agree with John that the boat was clean and cabins comfortable there was very little to do on the crossing. It has not got the shopping or number of bars,entertainment or eateries that you have on Oscar. The other thing I didn't like was that the van was on the open deck for the crossing. I don't think it would be my choice to use it again for the long crossing to France.

How does the Stena Horizon compare to the Oscar Wilde or Epislon. There appears be no/little availability for the rest of the season on Oscar Wilde to France.

Are you guaranteed getting the MH inside on the Horizon?

Horizon is basic compared to OW or PA but its fine, clean and comfortable. Food is fine as well and not that badly priced imo.
Motorhomes and trucks will travel on deck 3 which is a lot more sheltered than the top deck which is only for cars.
That said there are some ventilation holes on the truck/MH deck which can let spray in but not in a huge way, we were parked next to the holes on our outward crossing which was 4-5 and here was some spray on it but nothing major.
Cabins are clean and modern, everything worked and they are well ventilated.
I'd use that service again no problem, especially if its 500 cheaper than the BF Pont Aven.

Was just about to book Landbridge through England.

Decided to check Irish Ferries again before booking and found that they seem to have released more availability and/or extended the period that Oscar Wilde operates to France.

Was able to book Rosslare/Cherbourg/Dublin out end August, back beginning October, both ways with Oscar Wilde.

SWMBO happy, so I’m happy.
