He stated: \u201cIt\u2019s great to be able to offer this service for 2026 after we reintroduced it last year and passengers can travel in more comfort than ever before. We have invested heavily in upgrading our fleet with a range of new Volvo coaches. This coupled with the comfort and facilities onboard the new Stena Line vessels makes for a great, relaxing way to travel between these two great destinations\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
