Ferry to Northern Ireland with a Caravan or Motorhome

Check-In closes at the below times on both our Cairnryan to Larne and Larne to Cairnryan routes:

Vehicles / Motorcycles: 30 mins before departure time.

Foot Passengers: 45 mins before departure time.

Pets: 45 mins before departure time.

Special Assistance Passengers: 60 mins before departure time.

You must ensure you arrive BEFORE these cut off times.

Please be advised these are the latest times you can arrive at Check-In AFTER security. Therefore, we encourage you to allow for plenty of time to pass through security checks and allow for busy traffic during peak periods.

When making your booking you need to make sure you select the correct vehicle option.

You will also need to make sure that you’ve properly calculated the right size dimensions, especially when you’ve got a caravan attached to a car.

Before setting off it’s a good idea to double check that you’re fully covered by your travel and breakdown insurance for driving with a caravan or motorhome.

You should also make sure to get your vehicles serviced before travelling.

Before leaving for the port, please make sure that you’ve checked out our port page for directions and leave yourself plenty of time to pass through security to Check-In, as the port area can get busy during peak times. Also make sure you take a look at our Cairnryan to Larne timetable to book the ferry crossing that best matches your plans.

When you arrive at the port our friendly staff will be on hand to direct you to where you need to go, get you checked in and direct you onto the ship once boarding commences.

Please make sure you have a look at what area you’re parked in, as each deck zone has been allocated a colour, this will help you find your way back to the vehicle at the end of the crossing.

An announcement will be made when you need to return to your vehicle.

When you get to your vehicle, please don’t turn your engine on or start moving off the ship until you’re asked to do so by our staff.

Once you’re off you’re free to start your Irish adventure!

One of the benefits of travelling with a caravan or motorhome is that you can take as much luggage as you can fit in your vehicle, meaning you have no restrictions on the amount you pack, so you can travel knowing you have everything you need!
