Dun Laoghaire

Port Dun Laoghaire stands apart from busier cruise hubs by offering a refined blend of maritime heritage, elegant seafront charm and ready access to both city culture and coastal scenery. As ships glide into one of Ireland's friendliest harbours, guests step ashore into a walkable waterfront town where the East Pier provides sweeping Atlantic and Dublin Bay views, the Victorian arcades and Pavilion Theatre frame a lively seaside village feel, and harbor-side cafes invite a relaxed Irish welcome. Signature experiences include strolling along the harborside promenade, visiting historic seafront villas, and enjoying a quick ride or stroll into Dublin’s historic core for venerable landmarks, world class museums, and lively pubs. Onshore options span culturally rich city tours from Trinity College to the Guinness Storehouse, picturesque excursions to Howth or Dalkey with seafood tastings, and effortless access to Wicklow countryside for dramatic coastlines and green hills. The port supports a versatile fleet with deep-water berths capable of handling a wide range of ships, from mid sized boutique cruisers to contemporary megastructure liners, backed by a modern passenger terminal that keeps embarkation and disembarkation smooth and efficient. Onboard services available to guests in Dun Laoghaire reflect the best of the Irish hospitality system—well appointed lounges, premium dining, spa and relaxation areas, enrichment programs, and WiFi connectivity—ensuring every call here feels like a warm, well organized welcome rather than a routine port of call.
