Portrush

Portrush is a standout among official ports, tucked on the North Antrim coast where sea cliffs meet epic scenery and a warm Ulster welcome awaits. What sets it apart is not just the scenery, but the port-side doorway it offers to a region of world-class icons: Dunluce Castle ruins perched on a jagged outcrop above the Atlantic, the basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway a short drive away, and the cinematic magic of Game of Thrones that turns shore days into a living backdrop. From here, signature experiences unfold: a stroll along Ramore Head with its seafood spots and sweeping seascapes, a coastal drive to Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, a tasting tour at Bushmills Distillery, and a game of championship golf at Royal Portrush. The port's fleet features modern, efficient facilities—deep-water berths, reinforced quays, streamlined tendering where needed, and a dedicated excursion hub that makes every port call swift and seamless for passengers and crew alike. Onboard, guests enjoy shore-side immersion through curated Portrush itineraries, local culinary moments, and cultural performances that celebrate Northern Ireland’s hospitality, folklore, and music, all designed to complement a day ashore without sacrificing comfort at sea. Portrush invites visitors to connect with geology, history, and landscape in a compact, unforgettable ribbon of experiences that few ports can rival.
