We’re thrilled to see Belfast Harbour's 2025 cruise ship season shaping up to be another fantastic year. As Belfast continues to grow as a destination for cruise tourism, we look forward to welcoming even more visitors to explore our heritage waterfront! #VisitBelfast #MaritimeHeritage #BelfastTourism
2025 Cruise season officially launched! Belfast will welcome first time calls from 10 cruise ships this year as part of a cruise season that will see more than 145 calls to Belfast Harbour from some of the world’s best known cruise lines. Cruise Belfast, the partnership between Belfast Harbour and Visit Belfast which markets the city as a leading cruise ship destination, has announced that the first cruise call of the seven-month season will be on March 30th. During the 2025 season there will be 146 calls by 57 ships from 31 different cruise lines – including 13 by Belfast’s most frequent caller, Princess Cruises' Regal Princess. Among the ships calling at Belfast for the first time will be Viking's newest vessel, the ‘Viking Vela’, which will be the first cruise ship to dock in the city in 2025, while Virgin Voyages first ship ‘Scarlet Lady’ will also be making its inaugural visit to Belfast in August. The largest vessel that will be visiting Belfast this year will once again be the 333 metre-long MSC Cruises Preziosa. In a further indication of the city’s growing status in the cruise industry, this year will see Belfast Harbour facilitate eight ‘turnarounds’ – which means passengers beginning and ending their trip in Belfast boosting overnight stays in city hotels. It is anticipated that the cruise season will bring a total of 225,000 passengers to Belfast, along with over 100,000 crew members, contributing an estimated £20m-£25m to the local economy.

It is #worldbookday and to celebrate we are exploring some of our favourite stories from the history of Belfast’s waterfront and the shipyard industry that shaped Belfast’s maritime heritage! Our favourite book is the Lord Pirrie Book, which was gifted to Lord Pirrie by the employees of Harland & Wolff to mark the moment he became the first Viscount Pirrie in1921. The highly decorated, leather-bound book is a priceless artefact and we had the pleasure of displaying at the Maritime Festival in 2019 and European Heritage Open Day in 2022.
