Whether travelling as a multi-generational family, with young children, or as adults seeking their own space, we\u2019ve carefully considered how to make each journey more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe care deeply about making the journey a great experience for everyone and these changes help us deliver that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that our passengers enjoy the upgrades and that the new spaces make their journey even more comfortable, engaging and memorable for the whole family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An abstract map of Belfast and Scotland now features prominently across wall artwork and glass in the Stena Plus Lounge.<\/p>\n<p>Designed by Gothenburg-born artist, researcher and designer, Hannes Arvid Andersson, the piece presents an interpretation of nautical maps charting the journey between Belfast and Cairnryan.<\/p>\n<p>The newly refreshed Stena Plus lounge puts a strong emphasis on style, comfort and relaxation.<\/p>\n<p>While maintaining the same high-quality facilities, the space has been completely reimagined with a blend of fabrics, textures, imagery and art inspired by Scandinavian design principles.<\/p>\n<p>Designed by Vertti &amp; Co, who specialise in experiential interiors for travel environments, the spacious lounge offers a variety of seating options, including the ever-popular chaise lounges, providing passengers with a calm and comfortable environment.<\/p>\n<p>The Family Hub has been thoughtfully designed with parents, grandparents and children all in mind. At its heart is an interactive floor, with Xbox consoles, interactive screens, games and a movie lounge to keep everyone entertained.<\/p>\n<p>The Superfast Suites have also been given a fresh new look, offering an enhanced private space for passengers. Each suite features a comfortable double bed, coffee table, 50-inch TV and en-suite facilities, creating a relaxing environment for the journey.<\/p>\n<p>The Superfast refurbishment is part of a substantial investment of approximately \u00a314 million by Stena Line in the ongoing refit and upgrades of its Irish Sea fleet.<\/p>\n<p>To book your next trip with Stena Line visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stenaline.co.uk\">www.stenaline.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ferry company embarks on major investment in its Irish Sea fleet As the trend for multi-generational travel continues to grow, Stena Line has unveiled luxurious refurbishments to lounges onboard its Belfast to Cairnryan service, as well as a new state-of-the-art Family Hub.
