Just before 6am this morning, the giant cruise liner Mein Schiff I sailed into Dublin Bay on overnight passage from Scotland. As soon as the ship dropped anchor in Scotsman's Bay on the Captial's south shore, small tender boats were lowered into the water from its port side and the ship began to disembark passengers to go ashore at Dun Laoghaire Harbour. A Dublin Port Pilot boat accompanied the ship to its anchorage. Today, in Dun Laoghaire town, a welcome party is set to  greet the passengers. Read more: Dun Laoghaire visit of Mein Schiff.

At the same time this morning, the Magic Disney liner docked in Dublin Port.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
