What do people want from new Steam Packet vessel?

People have been giving their views on what they want from a new Steam Packet vessel.

It's planned a new craft will be built to replace the Ben-my-Chree in the next two or three years, and Island Global Research has been carrying out a survey to find out what passengers would like to have on board.

The most popular requests have included increasing the number of standard cabins, larger passenger areas for those with pets, a childrens play area suitable for more age groups and a larger elevator from the vehicle deck.

Steam Packet Chief Executive, Mark Woodward, says they're now assessing the different options and, where possible, 'will endeavour to ensure the needs of our passengers are met when the new vessel is designed'.
