Cork Shore Excursions & Cobh Cruise Excursions - Blarney Castle, Kinsale & County Kerry
The port of Cobh sits on a small island in Cork Harbour - one of the largest natural harbours in the world and the last port of call for the RMS Titanic in 1912. Cobh cruise port is Ireland's southern gateway, located 25 kilometres from Cork city and 30 kilometres from Blarney Castle, making Cork Ireland shore excursions some of the most accessible and rewarding in the British Isles. Our most popular Cork shore excursion for first-time visitors is the Cork and Blarney Castle private tour - a Cork city driving tour taking in the famous Cork City Jail and the English Market, followed by a visit to Blarney Castle where tradition holds that kissing the Blarney Stone confers the gift of eloquence. The castle grounds, gardens, and medieval towers are among the most visited in all of Ireland. For guests who prefer the coast, our Kinsale and Cork private shore excursion visits the colorful seaside town of Kinsale - famous for its painted houses, Charles Fort, and its position at the start of the Wild Atlantic Way.
Cork Ireland cruise excursions from Private Shore Trips reach County Kerry - the scenic center of Irish tourism - in approximately 2.5 hours from Cobh cruise port, with Killarney National Park, the Ring of Kerry, and the Dingle Peninsula all accessible on a full 8.5-hour port day. Cobh itself rewards a short walk - its cathedral spire, the Titanic Experience museum, and rows of painted Victorian houses make it one of Ireland's most photogenic towns. Every Cork and Cobh shore excursion includes an English-speaking driver-guide, a private vehicle for your group only, and our back-to-ship guarantee. Reserve with a $50 deposit.
