All Douglas to Liverpool and return sailings on Monday and Tuesday have been brought forward due to operational reasons. The changes affect both daytime and overnight services, with departures moved up by between 45 minutes and 1 hour 15 minutes. However, if you're heading to Dublin, there's good news — those sailings remain on schedule.
