Port of Cork to host three cruise ships

HISTORY will be made tomorrow when the Port of Cork hosts three cruise ships for the first time, bringing with them an estimated 7,000 visitors.

The MV Rotterdam will dock at Cobh Cruise Terminal, MV Azura at Ringaskiddy Deepwater Berth and MV Spirit of Adventure at North Custom House Quay, all arriving at 8am and departing at 6pm.

Port of Cork commercial manager Captain Michael McCarthy said that being capable of accommodating three liners together on the one day showed the excellent cruise facilities Cork has and the services it can offer to cruise line companies.
