Head of Marketing for P&O Ferries, Sarah Staughton, said, “This partnership has become something of a landmark for the organisation, Hull FC and the Super League competition and we are delighted it can continue for another year.

“Everyone will be aware of the strong association that we have with the City of Hull and indeed Hull FC. This year we intend to be more involved with the club’s community programme, promoting the benefits of Rugby to local schools, which fits in well with our sponsorship strategy for other parts of the UK.”

“Rugby League is a huge part of the community in the city, as are the docks and shipping so this is something we are proud to be part of.

“Both organisations have reaped the benefits from this partnership and we’ll continue to be proud supporters of the club throughout next season, wishing them the best of luck in their quest for silverware.”

Both P&O Ferries from Hull can be booked online via AnyFerry.

The schedule is similar to this year, but there is a Plymouth to St Malo weekly service operating between November and March.

Brittany Ferries provide several ferries from the UK to France via the western channel, as well as their ever popular ferries to Santander and Bilbao in Spain.

The journey time will be 2 hours 15 minutes and onboard passengers will enjoy facilities such as:

• A Nordic Spa
• TV and magazine lounge
• “POD Room” – with iPads and Xboxes
• TASTE – “all new dining experience”
• Free WIFI and movies
• Stena Plus Lounge

The service is replacing Stena’s existing Stranraer Belfast route and its introduction is welcome news for passengers and the industry alike. Customers will be able to book online shortly direct at AnyFerry.com

Stena line have stated that the majority of the turnover for the route is generated between May and September and there is little demand for the high speed service from freight traffic.

Michael McGrath, Stena Lines area director for Irish Sea, said the service had been losing money for several years.

There is still plenty of availability on the route since the conventional Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire ferries will continue year-round.

Whatever your plans for the weekend, we wish you a great bank holiday, and fingers crossed for the weather!
