Hey folks! I’m considering taking a ferry from Ireland to Spain rather than flying, but I’m torn. It sounds like it could be a relaxing way to start a trip, and I'd love to avoid airport hassles. But I wonder if it's worth the longer travel time and the cost. Has anyone here made the journey? Is the experience enjoyable, or does the novelty wear off fast? I'd appreciate any advice, especially if you've done it with a car or on a family trip.

I took the ferry from Ireland to Spain last summer, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. Traveling by ferry gives you the chance to start your vacation early, with none of the airport stress. You can just settle in, enjoy the sea views, and even have a nice meal on board. If you're driving in Spain, bringing your own car can be super convenient. Plus, if you have kids, there’s plenty of room for them to move around and avoid the restlessness they get on a plane.
For anyone seriously considering it, I’d recommend checking out this guide at https://ferrytospain.co.uk/. It covers all the details you’ll need, from schedules to costs and travel tips, so you can decide if the ferry’s for you. Just remember that the journey is about 24 hours, so while it's comfortable, it's definitely not for everyone if you're in a hurry. But if you enjoy a leisurely pace and aren’t keen on flying, it could be a great option.
