England comprises the central and southern parts of Great Britain which lies in the North Atlantic, separate from continental Europe. The country is the largest of the four so-called ‘home nations’ that make up the United Kingdom and also includes over 100 smaller islands including the Isle of Wight and the Isles of Scilly. England’s capital city, London, is a vast and diverse metropolitan centre and a global capital of finance, culture and fashion. Travel by ferry is popular and convenient mode of transport amongst the British public and as an island with a wealth of first class ferry ports, England is a great departure point by ferry for many destinations, both domestic and international. Many of the worlds’ leading ferry companies are household names and operate numerous crossings serving the population of Great Britain.
The Isle of Man is a self-governing, British crown dependency, situated halfway between Northern Ireland and the northwest of England. One of Britain’s five UNESCO World Biosphere Reserves, as of 2016, the Isle of Man is both geographically attractive and culturally intriguing, with its own language, a national dish of herring and potatoes and the oldest continuous parliament in the world. This is all found alongside gorgeous, green valleys and ruggedly picturesque coastlines. For the majority of the year, life on the Isle of Man is quiet and relaxing. However, from May to June it hosts the world famous TT motorbike races, attracting over fifty thousand revellers each year. The Isle of Man lies close to the borders of England, Northern Ireland and Ireland, which makes travelling by ferry the easiest and most convenient way to get there, with numerous sailings to Douglas on the southeast coast.
