Fishguard is ferry port and town in Pembrokeshire (Wales). The town (population around 3,500) is divided into Main Town (Fishguard) and Lower Town. The port is located where Gwaun River flows into Irish Sea. Fishguard (ferry port Goodwick) is in southwestern Wales. The port is easily accessible from Cardiff (via road M4 from London to Carmarthenshire).
In late-April 2018, STENA LINE announced that its ferry terminal in Fishguard could be closed for up to 3 months due to construction works - replacement of the mechanized bridge (connecting the ferries with the dock). The project was budgeted GBP 5 million, with construction works starting in February 2019. By this project, the cruiseferry company replaced the Linkspan (ship-to-shore) connection allowing vehicles to board or disembark the ship at different tide heights. Construction companies started tendering for construction contracts.
The ferry route Ireland-Wales (Rosslare-Fishguard / crossing time 3,5 hours) is currently operated with 14 weekly crossings by the ship Stena Europe. As cruise port, Fishguard is visited mainly by smaller-sized luxury ships from premium cruise travel brands like Silversea, Seabourn, Hapag-Lloyd, RSSC-Regent, Windstar. Larger liners visiting aaa are from the fleets of AIDA, TUI, Oceania.
