"Great Excursion!"
Aug 2026 by Laura O
We really enjoyed our **Cork and Blarney Castle excursion from Cobh by train**. It was a great way to see and learn about the area while visiting from the cruise ship.
"Blarney Castle"
Aug 2026 by Sallyanne L
This was a very nice excursion. Our tour guides Rich and Andrew were lovely gentlemen. We enjoyed talking with them. The tour started right off the ship and so we did not have far to walk. The gardens at the Blarney Castle were beautiful. We also had time to shop and get a bite to eat.
"Shore excursion by rail!"
Aug 2026 by Patricia C
We enjoyed our visit to the Blarney castle with our awesome guide Richie and driver Tim who maneuvered the coach with ease through tough areas. We would definitely recommend this tour! We even got an added bonus by Tim taking us to a cemetery and St Coleman‘s Cathedral that was not listed in the description of the tour so we got to see more than what was expected.

Cobh to Blarney Castle and Cobh
Check in at Cóbh Railway Station adjacent to the cruise terminal with our representatives in bright yellow jackets at 09:20H.
Please note train departure time may vary depending on cruise ship schedule.
We have a scenic rail journey from Cobh, which is on Great Island in Cork Harbour, onto another island called Fota, before finally reaching the mainland and the outskirts of Cork City. Our journey continues along the banks of the River Lee with views of Blackrock Castle before arriving into Cork Kent Station. We transfer by road to Blarney Castle and Gardens where we kiss the famous stone and thus acquire the gift of eternal eloquence.
Time for shopping and lunch at Blarney Village. Enjoy a Cork City tour before returning to Cóbh to visit the fabulous Cobh Cathedral - St. Colman's. See Cobh cemetery and the mass graves of the Lusitania victims as well as famous Jack Doyle's grave.
Walk back onto your ship in your own time.
