Rosslare Europort (formerly called Rosslare Harbour) is one of Europe’s most modern seaports and is located in the very southeast corner of Ireland in County Wexford – the closest point to the UK and mainland Europe. Read on and find out more about this premier passenger and freight ferry port.
Rosslare Europort is one of the major entry points into Ireland from the UK and Europe. Each year thousands of passengers, cars, freight and trade vehicles pass through this port making it one of the busiest in Europe.

The port has four berthing ports and features a restaurant, waiting area, a bar, check in area and control tower. There’s also car rental desks, a Bureau de Change, shops, children’s play area and immigration area.
Ferry travel is a popular way of getting to Ireland and especially if you want to bring the car. You don’t have to worry about luggage weight restrictions, it’s a great way of bringing all the family (even the pet!) and it can also be a cheaper option. Nowadays the luxurious ferry cruise liners are fitted out to the highest standards and boast facilities such as cinemas, games arcades, shops, bars and restaurants.
