Travelling by ferry is one of the most practical means of getting to the Isle of Man.
Vacationers make use of the frequent services during the summer to reach the island, with conventional ferries having spaces for vehicles.
The ferries offer a vital link between the island and England and Ireland, with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company being the only company that runs ferry services to and from Douglas to Dublin and Belfast on the Irish mainland and Liverpool, Heysham and Fleetwood in England.
