Leading ferry company Stena Line has children\u2019s entertainers during the summer, dedicated games rooms and play areas as well as free Wi-Fi, free movies and great eateries to make a ferry trip a dream, but, they are also keen to make travel to their ports as pleasurable as possible.

Firstly, there are certain things the kids, or \u2018the experts\u2019<\/em>, don\u2019t want during their car journey.\u00a0 They don\u2019t want Mum and Dad\u2019s music on replay or a snack of Ryvita with cucumber and humus to stave off the hunger.\u00a0 They want to become intrepid explorers like Dora and Indiana Jones by turning the car journey into an action packed adventure.\u00a0 They want to impress with their selfie skills, all round knowledge, win some prizes and maybe even go Pokemon hunting.<\/p>\n

Not to be mixed up with Roald Dahl\u2019s creation, the BFG in this instance is the Big Ferry Giant<\/em>, Stena Line, who understands the importance of enjoying the journey as a key part of the holiday and although they already have children\u2019s entertainers during the summer, dedicated games rooms and play areas as well as free Wi-Fi, free movies and great eateries to make your ferry trip a dream, they are also keen to make travel to their ports as pleasurable as possible.<\/p>\n
