Ships berth right in town, beside the historic quay where Titanic called in 1912 and millions of emigrants left Ireland. Our Cobh cruise port tours start just steps from the gangway.
The deep-water berth for larger ships. There's little within walking distance, so Ringaskiddy shore excursions with a private guide are the best way to see the region.
