Stena – Enjoy a Glasgow getaway

Glasgow is calling, and Stena Line is challenging you to see how much adventure you can fit into a single day trip this autumn.

From live music and theatre to world-class exhibitions and unforgettable city sights, the dear green place is ready to surprise you at every turn.

While research by VisitScotland shows over two-thirds of visitors chose Glasgow for its scenery and landscape, over half of those visiting Scotland’s most populous city sought out its rich history and culture.

This autumn, it’s also bursting with must see events and thanks to Stena Line, getting there couldn’t be simpler.

Simply step onboard Stena Superfast in Belfast, enjoy two hours and 15 minutes of comfort, style and sea air, and you’ll be in Glasgow by lunchtime.

Onboard you can relax in the Pure Nordic Spa with 20% off treatments, browse the onboard shop with a £5 voucher when you spend £30, or upgrade to Stena Plus for a little extra luxury.

Below are just some examples of amazing experiences to help you pack your Glasgow trip with adventure this September and October.

  1. Run the City

Join the buzz of the Great Scottish Run on 4–5 October. Whether you take part or cheer from George Square, it’s a high-energy way to experience Glasgow’s streets.

  1. Step Into Ancient Egypt

Explore the Tutankhamun Immersive Exhibition at the SEC, running until 26 October. Perfect for families and culture lovers, it brings history to life in spectacular detail.

  1. Raise a Glass

Glasgow Cocktail Fortnight (25 September – 8 October) transforms the city with pop-ups, tastings and signature serves in some of its best bars. A lively stop to toast your day trip.

  1. Witness a New Chapter in Theatre

Having just reopened its doors following a multi-million pound refurbishment, head to Glasgow’s Citizens Theatre and check out Small Acts of Love, a bold production that signals the return of a cultural landmark.

  1. Explore Glasgow’s Icons

If time allows, balance events with a visit to Glasgow Cathedral, George Square, or the Gallery of Modern Art—timeless landmarks that anchor the city experience.

With sailings from just £32 per adult and £27 per child return, available on select Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays through the end of the year, find out just how much adventure you fit into a single day in Glasgow.
