About Cruise Belfast
The Cruise Belfast Initiative is a partnership
between the Port of Belfast and the Belfast Visitor and Convention
Bureau (BVCB). Cruise Belfast was formed in 1999 to promote Belfast
to the world’s cruise industry and has been welcoming ships to the
city for over a decade.
When a ship visits, we provide
- A complimentary shuttle bus service from the Port to the heart
of the city centre, close to the Belfast Welcome Centre in Donegall
Place.
- A tourist information desk at the quayside and onboard if
required, staffed by our multi-lingual Travel Advisers. Maps,
brochures and discount vouchers are all available as well as a
daily events listing and shuttle bus timetable
information.
- Further information can be sought at the Belfast Welcome
Centre, just a few minutes walk from the City Hall. This tourist
information centre offers a range of services, providing free
tourist information and advice, an accommodation booking service,
Bureau de Change, a box office for events and tours, left luggage,
internet access and a gift shop. Opening hours are extended to
accommodate the visit of a ship.
- We also organise musical entertainment at the port either to
welcome the ship to Belfast or to bid a fond farewell when your
ship departs.
