In the last two months there have been some magnificent liners in port. Some of them have been truly huge! While docked at the Deep Water Quay they have towered over the many buildings close by. In fact they are so large they dominate the view from any point in the town.
The Vision of the Seas was one of the first to visit and she was carrying 2,416 passengers. Since then there have been the Emerald Princess (3592 pax), the Caribbean Princess (3592 pax), the Costa Deliziosa (2896 pax), the Celebrity Infinity (2450 pax), Mein Schiff (2114 pax), and the MSC Magnifica (with 3605 pax). Many of these are included in the selection of photographs below.
On Monday coming, the June Bank Holiday Monday, the biggest of the lot, the Independence of the Seas will be in. The 'Independence' carries 4375 passengers and at one stage held the mantle of being the World's largest cruise liner.
Over 60 ocean going cruise liners will be visiting Cobh this year. Visit the Port of Cork Cruise Liner Schedule for a full list of those liners that are coming and the dates they will be in port.
