Is Irish Ferries legit?
Legit, mixed reviewsIrish Ferries has been running ferries out of Ireland for decades and is entirely genuine, yet a crossing can still be cancelled or held in port when the weather turns. Its own terms rule out delay compensation when weather is the cause, which usually leaves a choice between a later sailing and your fare back.
What we checked
- Ferry company founded in 1973
- Owned by Irish Continental Group
- Registered office in Dublin
- Ratings on other review websites: 3/5
Watch out for
- Reaching the port after check-in has closed, which the terms let the carrier treat as a cancelled booking.
- Changing a booked sailing and meeting an amendment fee, with sale fares carrying their own terms.
- Cancelling your own trip and finding the terms leave any refund to the carrier's discretion.

Booking problem or a disrupted crossing to raise? Start your complaint here as well, and we push it out to Irish Ferries by email, social media and printed letters.
Can I get a refund if Irish Ferries cancels my sailing?
When Irish Ferries cancels a sailing, passengers are generally offered a place on another sailing or their money back, and EU passenger rights for sea travel can also apply to cancellations and long delays. What you get depends on the reason for the disruption, your fare type and the Irish Ferries terms and conditions, so ask Irish Ferries in writing which option applies, and keep the cancellation message.
If you accept a later sailing, keep receipts for the extra costs it causes, such as a hotel night, meals or a missed train or flight, and note the time you actually arrived. A ferry-plus-hotel holiday can follow different rules from a crossing booked on its own.
Refund refused for a sailing that was cancelled? Bring it through our complaint process: our trained AI opens a case for you and keeps coaching you on what to send Irish Ferries next.
How do I change or cancel an Irish Ferries booking?
Irish Ferries bookings can be changed or cancelled through Manage Booking on the Irish Ferries website, using your booking reference, or by calling 0818 300 400. Whether a change is allowed, and whether an amendment fee or a fare difference applies, depends on the fare type you bought, so check the fare conditions before you confirm; the Irish Ferries help centre explains the different fare types.
Take a screenshot of the fare and conditions before and after any change, and ask for written confirmation of a cancellation and of any refund amount, so a charge can be checked later.
Charged more to amend than the fare conditions said? We help you write the complaint in minutes, with the screenshots and booking reference side by side.
Can I complain to the National Transport Authority (NTA) about Irish Ferries?
Yes. In Ireland, the National Transport Authority (NTA) is the National Enforcement Body for maritime passenger rights, covering sailings such as those of Irish Ferries for information, assistance, re-routing or refunds after a delay or cancellation, and the rights of passengers with reduced mobility. The NTA generally expects Irish Ferries to have had the chance to put things right first, so keep a record of every call, email and reference.
