The company's flagship, the Ulysses, is capable of carrying up to 5km of parking space, making it the largest car ferry in the world in terms of capacity. Other ferries in the fleet include the Isle of Inishmore, one of the largest ferries in Europe, the Oscar Wilde, the newest luxury cruiseferry in the fleet and the Jonathan Swift, a high speed catamaran capable of crossing the Irish Sea in one hour fifty-five minutes.
