Cork City Guide - Getting There By Water

Brittany Ferries (tel: (021) 427 7801; website: www.brittanyferries.ie) operates a ferry once a week each way between the ferryport at Cork (Ringaskiddy) and the port of Roscoff in Britanny, France. The average crossing time is 14 hours. There is a bureau de change and a café at Ringaskiddy. All areas are accessible to disabled passengers. The ferryport is approximately 30 to 40 minutes from Cork city, and there is a bus service to meet arriving ships. Swansea Cork Ferries (tel: (021) 483 6000; website: www.swansea-cork.ie) normally operates a ferry service between Cork and Swansea, but has cancelled its 2007 sailings because it could not find a replacement for its ship the MV Superferry. The service is, however, expected to resume in 2008.
