Longing to travel but tight on time? Don’t worry you’re not alone.
With increasingly busy lives holi-dayers of all ages are finding the best way to satisfy their wanderlust is with a daycation.
Same-day travel offers a fantastic and affordable way to experience the best of new places.
It eliminates the need to book accommodation, stressing over what to pack in your suitcase and minimises the amount of annual leave you need to take from work and all of life’s other responsibilities.
And, thanks to Stena Line, a flit to the Scottish seaside has never been easier.
Whether you’re hoping to enjoy a bit of sun, sea and sand, put your putting skills to the test with some mini-golf at Pirate Pete’s Family Entertainment Centre or get your cultural fill at Robert Burn’s birthplace museum, there is no shortage of fantastic experiences to be had in Ayr.
Stena Line, the Swedish-owned ferry company, is inviting customers to leave their cars, and cares, at home and enjoy a hassle-free, coach trip to Scotland.
Crossing the Irish Sea in just over two hours, passengers can relax, unwind and enjoy the unrivalled style and comfort of Stena Superfast.
Your holiday starts the second you set foot onboard and passengers seeking instant relaxation are invited to take a dip in the jacuzzi or enjoy some time out in the sauna at the Pure Nordic Spa, where day-trippers are also entitled to 20% off all treatments.
Start your day with a great value meal from the Taste Restaurant and bag yourself a bargain in the Onboard Shop, where you’ll also receive a £5 off shopping voucher if you spend at least £30.
Or, simply relax and unwind in The Living Room or upgrade your trip and enjoy the luxury of the Stena Plus Lounge or the Hygge Recline Lounge.
Departing Belfast at 7:30am, guests will arrive in Cairnryan and take a one-hour coach trip to the seaside town where they will enjoy six hours of free-time, before they return to Belfast at 9:45pm.
Prices start from just £25 per adult and £20 per child. Stena Line passengers will be able to enjoy a day out in the beautiful seaside town of Ayr on select Thursdays throughout July and August.
