Best Irish Ferries Discount Codes

Irish Ferries has a discount code that takes up to 50% off European breakdown cover for your ferry journey from Britain to France. This is a useful safeguard if you are taking your vehicle and want extra protection on the road abroad.

Booking a ferry trip. If you are arranging a short break to Calais or France, check the headline prices first: Irish Ferries offers Dover to Calais 2 day short breaks from £95, 3 day breaks from £110, and 5 day breaks from £147 return, all including ferry travel for passengers and your vehicle. France short breaks start from €465. If you are booking a car only to France, the €15 off car bookings offer saves you money on that leg.

Onboard spending. Once you are aboard, you can save 10% on delicious onboard meal deals with Irish Ferries, and a flat 10% off all onboard prices lets you cut the cost of anything you buy during your journey. Compare these two to see which applies to what you plan to buy and take whichever saves you more.

Adding breakdown cover. If you do not already have European breakdown cover for your vehicle, the discount code at the top of this page takes as much as 50% off it. The offer is limited time only, and you will need to use the code at checkout to get the saving.

Signing up. If you are new to Irish Ferries or looking ahead to future journeys, you can also sign up to the newsletter for promotional discounts and special offers.

In the 12 months to November 2026, our team tested 1 Irish Ferries offer at checkout. The biggest code our records show in that time was 50% off, so the current European breakdown cover code matches the strongest discount we have seen from Irish Ferries recently.

To work out which offer saves you the most, compare the options that fit your basket or trip: the headline prices on the short breaks, the onboard meal or price discounts, the car booking saving, or the breakdown cover code. Use whichever leaves you paying less overall.

For an offer with a discount code, read its booking instructions before choosing your sailing. Check the eligible route, travel dates, passenger or vehicle requirements and fare type, then follow the offer instructions and check the total before paying. Some savings come through a promotional fare rather than a code.

• Compare route offers: Look for fares matching your journey and how you will travel. A foot passenger offer and a motorist promotion cover different booking needs.
• Join the loyalty club: Members earn points on direct bookings after travelling and can use them towards future bookings. Membership tiers also include onboard shopping benefits and member offers.
• Check Tesco tokens: Eligible tokens can contribute towards a booking, subject to availability, route restrictions and voucher limits.
• Subscribe for deals: The newsletter shares exclusive offers. Treat it as a way to hear about promotions, rather than assuming every sign-up includes a discount.
• Compare packages: If you need accommodation too, compare hotel or cottage holidays with the cost of arranging the ferry and accommodation separately.

Credit and debit cards are accepted, but American Express and Diners Club are not. Full payment is generally required when booking, although eligible Ireland to France bookings made sufficiently far ahead may allow a deposit, with the balance collected before departure.

Economy fares are generally non-refundable. Flexi and Flexi+ fares offer refunds subject to route and cancellation timing conditions; cancelling after departure does not qualify for a refund. Where a cancellation results in travel credit, check its validity before planning a replacement trip.

Amendments may involve a fee or a fare difference. Flexi and Flexi+ bookings can be changed before departure without an amendment fee, but a difference in fare may still apply. Read any separate promotional fare conditions before paying.

Tesco Clubcard Boost tokens are another way to help pay for eligible Irish Ferries travel. Restricted availability applies, some peak sailings may be excluded, and Dover to Calais bookings have limits on the token value you can use.

Check whether tokens are accepted for your intended sailing before relying on them for your travel budget. Compare the amount payable after tokens with any promotional fare available for the same journey, checking each offer's conditions rather than assuming the savings can be combined.

Tokens and loyalty points serve different purposes: Tesco tokens contribute towards an eligible booking, while the ferry loyalty club awards points after travel on direct bookings for use on future journeys.

For another ferry option, compare offers from Brittany Ferries. If you are weighing up other ways to travel, check Vueling for flight offers or National Express for coach deals.
