Luxury liner bonanza for Port of Cork

A Port of Cork company’s five-year plan to expand its cruise liner trade is ahead of schedule with a record-breaking number of luxury passenger ships due next year, writes Sean O’Riordan.

The deep water harbour is likely to surpass, in 2018 for the first time, the 100-mark arrival of cruise ships. The industry will boost the region’s economy by upwards of €30m next year.
