Private Transfer from Dun Laoghaire Cruise Port to Dublin City

About

Dun Laoghaire is a lovely spot to come into port - the Victorian pier, the painted terrace houses stepping up the hillside, the smell of the sea. But once you’re off the ship and keen to get into Dublin, you want a straightforward ride rather than figuring out the DART or hunting for a cab. This private transfer handles it for you.

Your driver meets you at the port with a nameplate, the vehicle is air-conditioned, and all fees and taxes are covered in the price. The journey to Dublin city takes around 40 minutes, and you’ll be dropped at your hotel or any address you need.

Local Tips

Dun Laoghaire itself is worth a short look if you have time before your driver arrives. The east pier walk out to the lighthouse takes about 20 minutes each way and gives you a great view back towards the Dublin mountains. The town has a handful of good cafes and a well-stocked market on weekends at the People’s Park.

The road into Dublin from Dun Laoghaire passes through some well-known south Dublin suburbs - Sandycove, Blackrock, Booterstown - before hitting the city via the coast road or the Merrion route. Your driver will pick the best option based on traffic, but if you’re curious about what you’re passing, don’t be shy about asking.

Dublin city centre is about 12 kilometres from the port, but traffic on the coast road can vary significantly at peak times. If you’re on a cruise schedule and have a firm re-boarding deadline, flag that to your driver at the start so they can plan the return timing accordingly.

Free cancellation is included, which gives you some breathing room if your cruise arrival time shifts or your plans change while you’re at sea.
