Cruising

One of the fun things about being on the esplanade is watching the traffic in Belfast Lough. The most common site are the ferries running to Scotland and England.

But Belfast will also host 62 cruise ships this year--I saw one this morning. Curious what passengers will do when they disembark, I checked out Princess Cruises, which offers eight excursions
All of this is new since the peace accord of 1998, which opened the north up to tourism.

This handy site lists every cruise line visiting Belfast and shows the route for each ship. In case anyone wants to cruise over for a visit.
