Ferry deals out of Cork

THE March 1 launch of the new service from Cork to Swansea aboard the MV Julia approaches, and the Fastnet Line has promised a variety of promotional fares.

The service is tipped to be worth in excess of €50 million to the local economy but it will also be a huge benefit to the many thousands of individuals left without a cross-channel service for the last few years.

Fastnet this week announced a special promotional fare that allows up to three children travel free on the basis of one adult booking (with vehicle).
