SANTA Claus will be swapping his reindeer for the Superfast ships on the Irish Sea this festive season as he joins leading ferry company Stena Line on their Santa at Sea weekend cruises.

There will be lots of festive fun to be had onboard Stena Line this December – but you will need to be quick as there is only limited availability left on the December 3 and 4 cruises.

Tickets are priced at only £10 per adult, £25 per child (4-15 years) and include a range of festive entertainment, a visit from Santa Claus and an exciting gift for every child.

The range of exciting activities include face painting, balloon modelling, party games, a best dressed competition and even a themed disco with karaoke.

Parents can enjoy some valuable Christmas shopping time as there are fantastic shopping offers on board including designer fragrances, gifts, electronics and confectionery with savings of up to 50% off high street prices, plus there is a £5 off shopping voucher when you spend £25 or more.

All cruises depart Belfast at 11.30am and arrive back at 5.45pm.
