Where the terminal is
The ferry terminal sits in Pembroke Dock, on the southern shore of the Milford Haven waterway in Pembrokeshire, about 2 miles north of the town of Pembroke and its castle. Searches for "Pembroke ferry port" land here: the postcode for the terminal is SA72 6UF. The port is operated by the Port of Milford Haven, is open around the clock and has a waiting area, toilets and parking for passengers.
The route
Irish Ferries sails Pembroke - Rosslare twice a day in each direction, all year, with the cruise ferry Isle of Innisfree: around 4 hours to Rosslare Europort, with restaurants, a shop, a Club Class lounge and cabins for the early departure. It is the only passenger route from the port, and for many travellers from the south of England the second leg of the landbridge to Ireland; the guide to ferries via England and Wales explains how to plan the buffer between the two crossings.
Getting there, parking and check-in
From the M4 continue on the A477 towards Pembroke Dock, from where the port is signposted; from Cardiff the drive takes around two hours, from London the best part of a day. A car park at the terminal covers the length of your trip. Foot and cycle passengers arrive at Pembroke Dock railway station, close to the terminal, but only a few trains a day call there, so check the connection from Swansea before you rely on it. Irish Ferries closes vehicle check-in 30 minutes before departure; foot and cycle passengers have a 40-minute cut-off, coach passengers and anyone travelling with a pet should allow an hour. Bring a passport: Irish Ferries requires it for the crossing between Great Britain and Ireland.
Arriving in Rosslare
The ship docks at Rosslare Europort at the end of the N25 in County Wexford, with the railway station a short walk from the terminal and the roads to Dublin, Waterford and Cork starting at the port gate. The Rosslare port guide covers parking, trains and buses on the Irish side.
