Land Bridge ferry tickets, for seamless connections to multiple destinations
Land Bridge ferry tickets combine ferry travel with land transportation, providing a convenient and cost-effective way to connect multiple ferry routes via an overland journey. For example, travellers can ferry from Ireland to Great Britain, cross Great Britain by train or car, and take another ferry to mainland Europe. Importantly, any Land Bridge ticket sold by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company (IOMSPC) must include a portion of the journey on IOMSPC vessels.
