Five-star cruise-ship to dock in Limerick for Ryder Cup
Oceana Marina’s prices range from €8,800 to more than €33,000
A LUXURY cruiseliner with space for up to 1,230 guests will dock at Foynes Port for the duration of next year's Ryder Cup in Adare Manor.
The Oceania Marina, a five-star cruise vessel with 615 rooms and suites will sail in for the September 2027 event, with the official booking and accommodation provider to the tournament now taking bookings.
As part of an all-inclusive package, guests on board will enjoy dining and a four-day pass to the Ryder Cup tournament – Thursday’s practice and opening ceremony, plus the three match days – alongside transfers from Foynes to Adare.
For those wanting to stay at sea a while longer, guests can start at Southampton on September 12, returning to the city on England’s south coast 10 days later.
This package starts from €8,800-per person, with prices climbing as high as €33,900.
Alternatively, guests can choose to board at Foynes for a five-night stay during Ryder Cup week.
Richard Parker, director of business strategy for Ryder Cup Travel Services, said: “Guests can enjoy world-class golf at Adare Manor by day, before returning to the Oceania Marina for first-class dining, all-inclusive hospitality and evening entertainment. This premium experience is designed for visitors from across the island of Ireland and around the world who are seeking a truly memorable way to be part of golf’s greatest team contest.”
The cruise ship is one of a wide range of accommodation options available to spectators attending next year’s Ryder Cup between Europe and USA.
Last month, details of campsites were announced, while fans can also book official hotel packages or secure private housing through the organisers’ official property rental programme.
