Isle of Man Steam Packet Company sailings for the Southern 100 Road Races 2026 are now available to book, providing enhanced travel options across the key Irish Sea routes throughout Southern 100 week which will take place from Monday 6th July to Thursday 9th July.
Often described as the Island’s ‘Friendly Races’, the Southern 100 continues to strengthen its position as one of the premier road racing events. The 2026 timetable offers a more consistent and balanced schedule across Heysham, Liverpool, Dublin and Larne, supporting the event’s continued development and ensuring fans can travel to and from the Billown Course with greater ease and flexibility.
The pattern of services in 2026 represents a significant opportunity to build on the momentum behind the Southern 100, which has seen steady post-pandemic growth, including a 10% rise in travel with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company during last year’s event. Strengthened Irish Sea connectivity also widens access for supporters travelling from across the UK and Ireland.
Steam Packet Holidays will once again back the event with a range of great-value packages, including Day Trips to the racing and Short Break travel and accommodation bundles across many of the Island’s hotels, guest houses, self-catering properties and campsites. These popular packages have now been released and race fans can book at
