Why choose Irish Cruises?

Set along Ireland’s beautiful southern coast, Cork is a charming port city and a key departure point for coastal and international itineraries. Irish cruises from Cork offer a mix of rugged landscapes, Gaelic culture, and easy access to nearby ports across the British Isles, Europe and even transatlantic crossings.

Cruise Holidays partners with leading cruise lines such as MSC Cruises, Princess Cruises and Cunard, many of which operate sailings from Cork’s deepwater port at Cobh (pronounced “Cove”). Whether you’re embarking on a short British Isles cruise, heading to Northern Europe, or returning home on a repositioning voyage, Cork offers a relaxed and scenic start to your journey.

Cobh is steeped in maritime history — once the last port of call for the Titanic — and is just a short train ride from the heart of Cork City. Cruise Holidays can help you plan your cruise, travel connections, hotel stays, and local tours.

If you’re looking for an authentic Irish departure with rich history and world-class scenery, Irish cruises from Cork are a perfect fit. Let Cruise Holidays take care of every detail.
