Dublin Bay Cruises

Dublin Bay Cruises operates scenic boat services connecting Dublin city centre with the coastal communities of Howth and Dún Laoghaire, providing visitors with a relaxing and genuinely enjoyable way to experience Dublin from the water while also accessing two of the city’s most attractive coastal destinations. The service departs from the Sir John Rogerson’s Quay embankment in the heart of the Docklands, cruising through the inner port and out into Dublin Bay with its sweeping views of the Wicklow Mountains to the south and the Hill of Howth to the north — a panorama that has inspired writers, painters, and visitors for centuries. On board, commentary highlights the maritime history of Dublin Port, the stories of the bay’s fishing communities, and the literary associations of the coastline famously evoked by James Joyce in Ulysses. Howth, with its dramatic cliff walks, working harbour, and excellent seafood restaurants, is a particularly popular destination, while the Victorian seaside town of Dún Laoghaire offers a different but equally rewarding coastal experience. Dublin Bay Cruises provides comfortable, weather-protected vessels and runs a reliable timetabled service throughout the year. Schedules, fares, and booking details are available on the company’s website. Detailed information on available tours, current schedules, and booking options can be found on their official website.
