Cruises to Ireland From the U.S.

Several cruise lines offer passage to Ireland from ports of call in the United States, including Ft. Lauderdale, Los Angeles and New York. These excursions land at one or more Irish ports--among them Dublin, Belfast, Waterford and Cork--on their way to destinations in England and Europe. The cruises offer passengers an opportunity to sample unique Irish spirit and hospitality ashore.

Lauderdale and calls at Bermuda before spending six full days at sea, then reaching Glasgow, Scotland.
