Our tips for Cruises

  • Hop on and hop off. The City Sightseeing Dublin Hop-On, Hop-Off Tour with a river cruise offers the best of both worlds with the flexibility to see the attractions of your choice and enjoy a leisurely cruise on the calm waters of the river Liffey.
  • Choose the appropriate time. The weather in Dublin tends to be unpredictable. It is recommended to plan your visit during the summer season (June-August) when you can enjoy more agreeable weather conditions and longer daylight hours.
  • Don’t get seasick. In case you tend to experience seasickness, it's advisable to take medication or natural remedies before boarding your Dublin cruise. As an alternative, you may opt for a larger ship that's more stable and less likely to sway.
  • Dress for the occasion. Even though it's summer, the temperature on the water can be colder and windier than on land. Therefore, it's recommended to pack layers and a waterproof jacket to keep yourself warm and dry during the Dublin cruise.
