Travel by ferry is seeing a huge revival in the face of competition by airlines, due to chaos at airports, the latest figures from Cheaperholidays show.
Nearly 43 million passenger ferry journeys were taken between the UK and the continent, Ireland and British islands last year – a huge rise of 421,000 over 2006.
UK to Ireland routes performed strongly with numbers up from 5.3 million to 5.5 million – a 4.3% increase.
Traffic to the continent increased by 1% from 20 million to nearly 20.2 million passenger ferry journeys. UK domestic figures were stable at 16.9 million.
