Sailings and service

Here you'll find answers to common questions about the routes, times, vessels and onward travel.

You can find full timetables for all routes served by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company by using the 'Routes and Times' pages on this website. All timetables are available to download on demand. You can also visit our information desks at any of ports to request printouts of timetable for any routes. We do not currently offer a printed timetable for all routes all year.

Please see the 'vessels' section of the website under the 'ferries' tab on the homepage. Vessels named in timetables, latest sailings etc are subject to change at late notice. We cannot guarantee you will sail on a particular vessel when you make your booking but we will always endeavour to make you aware of any changes at the earliest opportunity.

Different journeys may combine multiple forms of transport. Unfortunately we can't offer a comprehensive list of services that connect to our ports or times for those services. Please see individual port pages on this website for further information. Below is an inexhaustive list of websites that may be useful for planning your journeys in addition to the Isle of Man Steam Packet website: National Railway enquiries: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ Possible to book through from any national rail station to the Isle of Man including ferry ticket. Please search for Douglas Isle of Man as the destination station. Transport For Wales: https://tickets.trc.cymru/ Possible to book sail and rail tickets in either direction.
