Isle of Man Sea Terminal

The Isle of Man Sea Terminal was built in 1965 by McCormick and Davies, to accommodate rising passenger numbers, and also for security reasons.

At that time, the Isle of Man was a major holiday destination, with thousands of holidaymakers flocking from Britain and Ireland during the summer months.

In the main departure lounge, there is a Costa Coffee café, WHSmith store, a Steam Packet ferry travel shop, a play area for children, toilet facilities, foot passenger check in area and a model of the Laxey Wheel.

The Sea Terminal was formerly used as a waiting point for passengers travelling on the Laxey Towing Company's Karina pleasure cruiser.

It operated daily trips to Port Soderick, Laxey and other destinations from the cruise ship landing stage in the harbour next to the Victoria Pier.
