The Steam Packet Company will be among 12 UK ferry operators looking to promote and celebrate sea travel next week.

The Big Ferry Fortnight, running from Saturday, March 23 to Saturday, April 6, is designed to showcase the size of the ferry network and number of routes available around the UK, Ireland and British Islands.

As part of the event, The Steam Packet will look to assist Discover Ferries in promoting the Isle of Man as a holiday destination.

The organisations chief executive, Mark Woodward, is calling it a 'fantastic' initiative, which he hopes will help people 'discover or rediscover the joy of ferry travel.'
