Cruises visiting Baltimore

The magnificent West Cork area on the south-west tip of Ireland is home to Baltimore: a charming fishing village seemingly at the world’s end. It lies in an extraordinary landscape with immense beaches, a steep coastline, rocky cliffs and secret coves. You can admire the 13th-century castle of Dún na Séad, which bears witness to the sack of Baltimore in the 17th century, when pirates attacked the village, kidnapping over 100 inhabitants. The famous white stone Baltimore Beacon towers majestically over the bay, offering one of the finest views of the coast. The port also serves as the gateway to the picturesque Sherkin Island, Cape Clear Island, the eastern coast of Roaring Water Bay, and Carbery's Hundred Isles.
