Route guide

Plan your ferry from Rosslare to Fishguard

The Rosslare to Fishguard crossing links Rosslare in Ireland with Fishguard in the United Kingdom.

For a departure from Rosslare, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Rosslare Europort is at the end of the N25 in County Wexford. Rail and bus services connect with the wider region, and the road network provides straightforward access towards Wexford, Waterford and Cork.

On the other side of the crossing, Fishguard is your arrival port. Fishguard is small enough to navigate easily, with an unusually convenient railway station at the ferry terminal and road access to the wider Pembrokeshire coast.

Compare the Rosslare departure and Fishguard arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Rosslare to Fishguard result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Fishguard may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

Choosing this crossing for a UK journey

The Stena Line crossing connects south-west Wales with Ireland’s south-east. Rosslare can be convenient for Wexford, Waterford and a journey continuing towards Cork, while Fishguard provides a Welsh approach distinct from Holyhead.

For a journey without a car, confirm the train or coach connection and the terminal transfer before choosing the ferry. A sailing time by itself does not show whether public transport will still be running after arrival.
