Stena Line Travel Commercial Manager Irish Sea, Orla Noonan said:
“We know rest and relaxation are important for our passengers, especially for those with an onward journey on the other side.
“We wanted Stena Adventurer’s new family hub to be a space which is full of innovation and an environment which keeps our younger passengers entertained while the grown ups can watch them from the comfort of the carefully considered seating areas. It is both entertaining and fun.
“Before the new area goes into service, we invited some ‘professional testers’ onboard to sample the variety of activities in the Family Hub and decide which games are the most fun. A group of young people spent several hours thoroughly assessing the new equipment while the grown-ups tried out the comfy seating and treats from the coffee counter.
“Whether it’s the interactive features, the furnishings, or the cozy café, every element is crafted to provide a holistic experience for both body and mind, and we’re thrilled that our ‘testers’ have given the hub the thumbs up.” To book your next trip with Stena Line visit www.stenaline.co.uk
