THE DISNEY MAGIC cruiseliner arrived in Dublin early this morning, carrying with it over 3,600 people.
The ship is making the journey from Port Canaveral in Florida to Dover in England as part of a 12 night transatlantic cruise.
There are 11 decks on the ship and those taking part in the voyage were today given a Cruise Dublin Visitor Pass to allow them explore the city before the ship departs again at 5.30pm.
The ship arrived this morning at about 5.30am and passengers were greeted by what Dublin Port described as a “Game of Thrones inspired entertainment spectacle”.
The ship is 300m long making it just about the right size to be able to both enter and turn around within the River Liffey.
Dublin Port recently began a €230 million upgrade project that will extend capacity and allow larger ships further up the mouth of the river to the Thomas Clarke Bridge.
The company says that Disney Magic is one of 113 cruise calls at Dublin Port this year, making it the busiest ever year for cruise travel.

They can go down by the Quays and get their photos taken with Adam&Paul and the rest of the cast of the Walking Dead! :-)
Who he?
Wrong again goings
Walking Dead blah blah blah Adam & Paul, blah blah junkies.. Change the record.
If they have time they could take in some authentic gangland whacking.
Shipiddy do dah..shipiddy day..
25 years ago, about 4 million people a year went on cruises. Now, it’s over 25 million. The fastest growing leisure activity – and one for which Dublin is well suited.
I worked on cruise ships and went around the world. Dublin really needs to give its cruise port a facelift to be more welcoming to tourists as its their first impression of the place. Saying that we docked in Dublin and the passengers loved the place!
Some size of a ship.id say it would cost a few dollars to be on that ship for a week or two.looks class tho
It is but it is still only around 30th in the list of current largest cruise ships in the world.
Yes, actually quite small as far as cruise ships go these days.
‘Welcome to Dublin folks, the home of Mickey Mouse governments……’
A 5 night cruise in low season in the Caribbean is about $1200 dollaredoos with a windowless cabin! Ain’t one of the cheaper options out there by a long shot!
Now I really hope I win the one week all expenses, VIP suite for a family of four competition I liked and shared on Facebook.
Can I sneak onto it?
When it toots it’s horn it plays “when you wish upon a star”
It should play “I can show you the world”
It all sounds a bit Mickey Mouse to me!
Welcome committee looks embarrassing
A bunch of lads wearing kilts banging drums is hardly a Game of Thrones welcome. It’s not like it was a trial by combat. I doubt the passengers appreciated being woken up to that at 5:30 in the morning.
imagine your first stop from Florida was Dublin, you would never do a Cruise again. then again i did the Disney Dream last year around the Caribbean and the Nassau Bahamas seemed just as bad only with the Sun.
Finally auto correct gets the word “ducking”..correct.
Whst the duck has dublin got to offer people on a disney cruise
Yeah, tourists hate Dublin
That’s one big Mickey!!
