Cobh, which is Ireland's only dedicated cruise berth is capable of handling some of the largest liners afloat today. Over the last twenty years the Port of Cork has invested up to €10 million in the cruise facilties at Cobh and today welcomes up to 50 or more liners each year. A cruise call to the Port of Cork provides passengers and crew with the ulitmate cruise experience - a facinating combination of pursuits from history to archaelogy, flora and fauna, golf, hillwalking, horse riding, beatuiful gardens, castles, period houses, shopping or simply relaxing with friendly and hospitable people. Once experienced a return visit is inevitable.
