Cruise tourism in the North West is set to soar in 2025, with a 21% rise in cruise calls compared to 2019. Foyle Port will welcome 17 ships, including five maiden visits, bringing over 5,000 passengers and 3,700 crew. With a projected £500,000 economic boost, the region continues to attract top cruise lines, drawn by Derry’s unique heritage, vibrant events, and access to Ireland’s stunning coastal landscapes.
