New Ferry Service Cork, Ireland to Santander, Spain...

I came across this in my daily reading today and thought the forum at large might be interested.

I hope our Irish friends can use this, and soon... It follows the traditional route taken by Celts in their small boats, but avoids coast-hugging. One wonders if you can use this to start your Camino in Ireland and connect to a land route once you hit Spain...

Hope this helps.

Now running after a postponed start. ☺

Yes you can this if you start your Celtic Camino in Ireland and carry on from Santander. One point of note however, it is not a cruise ferry as they refer to those leaving from Plymouth. I would however imagine that if it is popular enough they would put a better class of ship on the route. I had planned to use it to return from my recent camino but due to an accident, I had to return early by plane

I had heard of this. I was a bit disappointed to read the following:
I’m afraid that due configuration of the ship, with a limited number of available cabins, we initially cannot accommodate foot passengers on the route.
Kind regards
