Cruisers’ Choice award for Cobh ‘down to hard work’

Being named as one of the five best ports to visit in Western Europe is very prestigious for the town of Cobh and has come about through a lot of hard work.

Cruisers’ Choice Destination Awards, the TripAdvisor of the cruise liner industry, named Cobh in its top five, as voted by cruise line passengers from all over the world, alongside the more established destinations of Lisbon and Amsterdam. The others were St Peter Port, Guernsey, and Greenock in Scotland.

Cobh Tourism chairman Mark Ryan said a lot of work went in locally to make cruise liner passengers feel really welcome.
