Hi,
Thanks for reaching out about booking the Douglas-Belfast ferry. I understand it’s been difficult to make a reservation for the 27.08.2026.
Please note that we are currently not operating this route. You might be able to find availability by checking directly with the Steam Packet company.
If you need any more help, just let me know.

It was a good trip. I regret that as a couple, our seats were apart and not side by side.

Booking through Direct Ferries turned…
Booking through Direct Ferries turned into a genuine headache. The moment something goes wrong, there’s no proper customer support to speak of — you’re left going round in circles with a useless chatbot that can’t actually resolve anything. When I raised my problem, even the Eurotunnel staff themselves acknowledged that Direct Ferries is known for issues with customer support, which tells you everything you need to know.
My advice: book direct with the operator instead. Paying an extra £50 is well worth it to avoid the stress and to have someone real to talk to when you need help. Save yourself the hassle — I certainly won’t be back.
