There is a website on which you can book ferry travel from Stranraer (a West Coast port in Scotland) to Belfast. The ferry generally takes around 2 hours, but you should be at the Stranraer port at least 1 1/2 hours before your ferry is set to leave.

Once you arrive in the Belfast port, you may take a bus to the city centre. There are also buses that travel to Derry/Londonderry and other parts of Northern Ireland.
