Stena Estrid cruises to the top of the service charts

One of Stena Line’s newest ships, Stena Estrid, has been given the accolade of ‘Top Ship’ by the company’s customers.

Not only is she ‘Top Ship’ on the Irish Sea, but she scored higher than any other vessel across its entire fleet of 37 vessels on 18 routes.

Stena Estrid, which was launched in 2020, showed flexibility and adaptability during a pandemic impacted 2021 by operating on five different routes.

In addition to her regular Holyhead–Dublin route, she also covered sailings across Rosslare–Cherbourg, Dublin-Cherbourg, Holyhead-Belfast, and Cairnryan–Belfast, in what was a very challenging year for Stena Line.

It was Stena Estrid’s consistent performance levels that helped get her to the top position gaining two awards: ‘Overall Customer Satisfaction in 2021’ and ‘Overall Cleanliness for 2021’.

This comes only two years after Stena Line launched the ship, and her two sister vessels Edda and Embla, in a multi-million-pound investment in its Irish Sea fleet.
