by isleofman.com 30th September 2014

The Steam Packet is increasing sailings to Liverpool next year and will spend ?500,000 on advertising the Isle of Man as a tourist destination.


The company says the extra sailings to Liverpool are in response to passenger feedback.


Unveiling the 2015 programme that is available to book from tomorrow (October 1), chief executive Mark Woodward said: 'We once again listened carefully to our passengers and I am pleased we are able to offer 48 additional Liverpool services in 2015, giving passengers even more opportunities to travel, as well as increasing the availability of special offer fares, so passengers can continue to enjoy great value.


'A major part of the Steam Packet Company’s role is bringing people to the Island, and we will once again make a substantial investment in promoting the Isle of Man across the UK and Ireland, highlighting the many attractions to potential tourists. We are very proud of our Island home, and want to share it with as many visitors as possible.'
