Read our privacy policy A popular “no landing” duty free cruise from Wales to Ireland is making a comeback, allowing shoppers to stock up on cheap cigarettes, alcohol and beauty products ahead of Christmas. Ferry company Stena Line is set to operate the return shopping cruise from Holyhead or Fishguard in Wales to Dublin every Friday, Saturday and Sunday until 12 December. Passengers can stock up on duty free goods travelling in either direction, but it’s worth noting that allowances are slightly different depending on where they’re travelling to. In September, Stena Line reported a 400 per cent rise in duty free sales after the shopping cruises were allowed to resume last year, for the first time in two decades.
