The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company’s preparations for TT 2008 are continuing with the signing of Stena Caledonia to provide extra sailings over the two peak weekends of the festival.

Built in 1981, Stena Caledonia usually operates between Stranraer and Belfast. This is her second time in the Island, having served the company during last year’s TT.

She will operate from May 31st till June 2nd and from June 7th till June 9th, providing extra capacity, primarily between Heysham and the Isle of Man, but there will also be an extra Isle of Man-Belfast service.

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company now has five vessels in operation during TT 2008, with around 300 sailings scheduled.

Bookings can now be made for the Stena Caledonia sailings. For further information, please contact Reservations on 01624 661661 or 0871 2221333.
