Fleetwood to Larne was a route operated by P&O until 2004, who transferred the vessels to Stena Line, who took over the route. They cancelled the route in 2010 as it had become unprofitable, concentrating sailings instead on their Birkenhead to Belfast route.
The crossing took around eight hours to travel the 216km between the two ports.
