Port of Cork

On the southern coast of Ireland, the Port of Cork is connected to Swansea in Britain, with regular scheduled sailings all year round. Ferry routes from France are operated on a seasonal basis. Cork city centre is a short distance away, where you can get bus and rail connections to the rest of Ireland.

The ferry terminal has limited facilities, though there is B&B accommodation available locally, while the post office has a bureau de change and tourist information centre.

Ferries operate to Swansea in South Wales and to Roscoff in France. The Roscoff crossing is usually an overnight service. Service is provided for foot passengers, car, bicycle, minibus, motor home, and van transport. Caravans, boats, trailers, and motorcycles can also be transported by ferry, while facilities on board include restaurants, bars and duty free shopping.

Basic services are available for the disabled, with access to port areas facilitated by wide doorways and ramps where appropriate. Further assistance may also be provided by the ferry operators and port staff, upon prior request and notification.
