Stena Line's enchanting Pirates & Princesses Day Cruises are back for 2026 with a series of 10 new dates announced for the hugely popular trips.

Last year's cruises, which are best suited for children under eight, sold out in record time with more dates added to the programme to satisfy demand.

This year the first cruise sets sail from Belfast to Cairnryan (non-landing) on Wednesday April 8 with a second cruise departing on April 9. Both trips leave Belfast at 11.30am returning at 3.30pm. There will be further cruises taking place in July, August, September and October.

Each cruise includes a kids disco, interactive games, puppet show, colouring competition, balloon modelling, bingo with prizes, magic show and fancy-dress parade.
