We're thinking of Spain in May of 2025 and wondering when is the best time to book? Another way of asking is...do Ferry Prices change much or remain static all year long? Thanks in advance! Con

Compared to Ireland-France and Ireland-Spain the Irish Sea crossings prices are a serious rip-off.
How can a 3 or 4 hour crossing across the Irish sea be changed for at more or less the same price as the much longer crossings to mainland Europe.

Yeah it doesn’t make sense,it must be port fees and stuff, maybe out at sea doesn’t increase the actual fare by much, the same date for Easter week ,Dublin Cherbourg return 2 people and van is 670euro ,and that’s with cabin, at them price’s you’d never get to Scotland

Did I read somewhere that the Irish sea is most expensive strip of water to cross by ferry to the UK ? We could never justify the cost when you can get to France for a similar price !

I should add, if you book now with Brittany ferries for April next year you pay a deposit and the balance is taken in February - softens the blow.
