Seven Seas Voyager
















A recent visitor, after the June Bank Holiday weekend, was the Seven Seas Voyager. This was one of the smaller cruise liners calling this year, but still she was quite a beautiful ship. Apparently, what she lacks in size she makes up in luxury. Every cabin on board is a suite with a balcony and on a recent Asia leg of a World cruise it was quoted that it was the most expensive cruise in Asia...ever!

On the day the liner berthed at the Deep Water Quay the weather wasn't typically summery. A bit like it is today, in fact. The grey skies and spitting rain didn't, however, dampen the passengers spirits and many took the opportunity to get off the ship and explore Cobh thoroughly. Hopefully, the Seven Seas Voyager will be back again but, unfortunately, it won't be this year.

The ship's vital statistics are:

Tonnage: 42,363 gross tonnes
Length: 650 feet
Decks: 12
Capacity: 700 passengers
Crew: 447 officers and crew

Check out the Port of Cork's website here for a full schedule of remaining liner visits.



We've also some great value accommodation packages available if you want to plan a visit to Cobh to coincide with the visit of one of these ships, read more.....
