Stena Line helping families make memories for less
Hugely popular Kids Go Free offer returns for 2026
From grandparents to toddlers, the great family getaway is getting a major upgrade – and Stena Line are doing their bit to make it affordable.


New data shows UK searches for ‘multi-generational holidays’ have soared by 142% in recent years, proving that families are ditching the small-scale trips and choosing bigger, better adventures together.
And just in time, Stena Line is helping families create those memory-making moments for less with its Kids Go Free offer.
Travelling as a family doesn’t have to break the bank. With Kids Go Free, Stena Line helps keep costs down while giving families the opportunity to enjoy more affordable getaways.
Orla Noonan, Travel Commercial Manager (Irish Sea) said: “Families are embracing bigger, shared adventures, and we’re delighted to help make those moments more accessible.
“With Kids Go Free, we’re making it easier for grandparents, parents and children to enjoy quality time together without the extra cost. At Stena Line, we believe the journey should be just as fun as the destination, and our onboard experiences are designed with every member of the family in mind.”
The journey is just part of the fun with Stena Line. Kids can dive into Happy World play areas, challenge each other in the Games Zone, and enjoy dedicated onboard entertainment, while parents relax knowing everyone’s happy.
Free movies on all ships, family meal deals and great WiFi options mean everyone stays entertained and connected, whether that’s streaming, scrolling, or simply switching off.
There’s even more to explore on board with the Family Hub giving little travellers their own space to play, discover and burn off energy before arrival.
Meanwhile, families can settle into spacious family cabins, grab a bite from a range of dining options and enjoy the journey together. They can even bring their furry family members along with pet cabins and a pet lounge on selected routes.
Travelling by car with Stena Line could not be easier. Families can pack everything they need to make the journey smoother from start to finish without any additional luggage charges. Just load up your luggage and go!
