Are you travelling on board Manannan soon?

Well, your trip has been upgraded.

Manannan has had a Spring refurbishment, which includes a brand new children’s play area, upgraded pet kennels, a larger retail area and an enhanced crew area.

The upgrade coincides with the return of Liverpool sailings starting on Friday (March 22nd).

Passengers choosing to sit in the popular forward cabin on sailings to and from Liverpool will be able to relax in newly upholstered seating. The forward lounge has also received new floor and wall coverings giving the Manannan a fresh and modern feel.

Children travelling on board will be pleased to see the addition of a new play area, complete with purpose designed Tigerplay soft play equipment and seating for adult supervisors.

For those travelling with pets, the Manannan now has much larger and more comfortable kennels with an increased number available to help cater for the demand on the Liverpool route. Final touches are being made to the kennels and they will be ready for use in due course.

As well as passenger comfort, the refit has taken consideration of crew needs with a larger and much improved crew mess to enhance the working environment.

With the addition of the brand-new Manxman and the newly refurbished Manannan, we are proud to operate two of the best-appointed and quality vessels in the British Isles and provide the highest level of service.

The upgrade is the second and final phase of the refurbishment, following last year’s refit of the bar, Premium and Executive lounges, and other passenger areas.

A much improved retail area makes shopping for gifts, souvenirs or travel essentials much more pleasant.
