A cruise inclusive of the Irish Sea wouldn’t be complete without dropping anchor in the Isle of Man.
The Isle of Man is located in the geographical centre of the British Isles, in the middle of the Irish Sea. Its location is an ideal destination port.
Numerous cruise ships are welcomed to Manx waters each year from all over the world. The vessels moor in the main harbour in the Island’s capital of Douglas or, for larger ships, in Douglas Bay.
With short travel distances between various attractions and activities, you will be able to enjoy all of what the Isle of Man has to offer during the time you are ashore.
Take advantage of one of the many shore-based excursions available and truly experience the Manx way of life.
See the largest working waterwheel in the world in the picturesque old fishing village of Laxey. Or how about a visit to the ancient capital of Castletown dominated by the imposing medieval fortress of Castle Rushen? Or perhaps you’d rather climb Snaefell, the Island’s only mountain, or take a tour of the famous Isle of Man TT Race Course?
With idyllic countryside, beautiful bays and a mild climate, you’ll find something for everyone here.
And if you want to experience the freedom of travelling to the Isle of Man at your own pace, why not sail independently across the Irish Sea to Manx shores?
Sailing by yacht or pleasure craft ensures you’ll have the ability to come and go as you please – your plans only shaped by the tides and sea conditions.
You’ll find impressive marinas in Peel and Douglas which offer an excellent range of facilities, or you can dock in one of the Island’s many bays including Port Erin in the south and Ramsey in the north.
