For the Liverpool and Dublin routes, the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company lists fares from £26/€31.75 each way for a foot passenger and £98.50/€117 each way for a car. Those are advertised starting prices, not guaranteed fares for a particular sailing. Your total depends on the date, sailing, passengers, vehicle, fare type and extras; check the live booking quote before budgeting.
What are the current starting fares?
The operator’s Liverpool route page, with schedule information marked correct on 6 October 2026, and Dublin route page, marked correct on 7 October 2026, list the same starting fares. They are one-way starting prices, not a full fare table or a return-trip quote.
| Route | Foot passenger, each way | Car, each way | Schedule information marked correct |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liverpool–Isle of Man | From £26/€31.75 | From £98.50/€117 | 6 October 2026 |
| Dublin–Isle of Man | From £26/€31.75 | From £98.50/€117 | 7 October 2026 |
These figures are published by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company for Liverpool and for Dublin. They do not establish what a specific crossing costs by season, passenger age, vehicle size, cabin or sailing. The Dublin route is seasonal; check the current route page and booking flow for availability on your dates.
Why can the price differ from the advertised fare?
Fare type and availability
For a selected sailing, the booking system shows the lowest available offer fare alongside the standard fully flexible fare. Offer fares are limited and can sell out sooner on popular crossings. Booking early may improve the chance of finding one, and the operator says overnight and midweek sailings may have a higher proportion of offer fares available; neither is a guarantee of a lower price. Compare the ticket’s change and cancellation conditions as well as its headline fare: special offers have restrictions, while outcomes depend on ticket type.

Travel date and fuel adjustment
The operator’s terms say a supplement applies when travelling on Friday, Saturday or Sunday from 1 April through 30 September. Fuel surcharges or rebates may also affect fares. The operator says its advertised prices and quotes include the applicable amount at the time of purchase; a later rate change affects new bookings.
Booking channel
According to the operator’s booking FAQ, accessed 7 October 2026, telephone and in-person bookings incur supplements of £7.50/€11 per passenger and £15/€21 per vehicle. Online bookings do not incur these booking-channel supplements.

How do vehicle charges work?
The published route pages give a starting price for a car, but the official information reviewed does not provide a general current tariff by vehicle length or a universal extra-per-metre charge. Do not assume a historic event tariff applies to ordinary travel. Enter the correct vehicle category and dimensions in the booking flow to obtain a quote for your crossing.
Measure the vehicle as it will travel, including anything that changes its external size:

The operator’s terms set vessel-specific maximum dimensions and advise contacting reservations if a vehicle is larger than the published limits or needs special confirmation. Some high-performance, overloaded or low-clearance vehicles may not be accepted on some sailings because of tidal conditions or shore facilities.
What do cabins and other extras cost?
The official information reviewed does not establish a current cabin price table. Select the cabin, if available, in the live booking flow and check how it changes the total for your exact route and sailing. A lounge seat or lounge upgrade is not a cabin; optional extras and availability vary. The operator’s TT 2026 information treats lounge reservations or upgrades as extras and says an extra will be refunded if it cannot be provided, but does not establish a cabin price.
Other possible charges include pet facilities. The operator’s terms, accessed 7 October 2026, list £15 per pet per journey for a dog or cat using pet facilities and £10 per kennel. Pets travelling in a vehicle on the vessels listed in those terms may travel free. Confirm the current pet options and any applicable charge during booking.
Event-specific rules should not be applied automatically to general crossings. For TT 2026 bookings, the operator asks customers to include vehicle attachments in dimensions, permits up to eight motorcycles subject to the adult passenger count, and requires bicycles to be added as an extra because space is limited. Check the relevant event booking details if travelling for that event.

How to get a useful quote

- Enter the number of passengers and their ages.
- Choose the vehicle category and enter its complete external dimensions, including attachments.
- Check cabin availability and add any lounge, bicycle or pet options you need.
