Dublin Bay Cruises, the capital’s premier maritime tourism provider, has announced the launch of its 2026 corporate hospitality season. Operating the award-winning vessel St. Bridget, the family-owned company is inviting members of the Dublin Chamber to trade the boardroom for the bay, offering a unique venue for team-bonding, client entertainment, and staff celebrations.
As businesses increasingly seek "off-site" experiences that foster genuine connection, Dublin Bay Cruises provides an enriching and sustainable solution. Navigating the UNESCO-recognised Dublin Bay Biosphere, the St. Bridget serves as a floating venue that connects Dublin City Centre, Dun Laoghaire, and Howth. The vessel is fully equipped to host up to 96 passengers, featuring an indoor heated cabin, a viewing deck, and a full sound system for presentations or entertainment.
“The goal is to provide a setting where teams can decompress and engage in a way that isn't possible in a traditional office environment,” says Eugene Garrihy, founder and Managing Director at Dublin Bay Cruises. “Whether it is a high-energy team-building afternoon or a relaxed sunset evening with wine and cheese, the backdrop of the Dublin coastline creates a natural atmosphere for strengthening professional relationships.”
Corporate clients can choose from a variety of customisable options, including:
- Private Charters: Exclusive use of the St. Bridget for product launches or staff parties.
- Team Bonding: Scenic routes including Dalkey Island and the Howth Cliffs, designed to spark creativity and boost morale.
- On-Board Hospitality: On-site bar service with catering options that include tea, coffee, snacks and artisan canapés.
- Seamless Logistics: Convenient departure points and ample space for drop-off at Howth, Dublin City Centre and Dun Laoghaire.
Dublin Bay Cruises has a long-standing reputation for excellence, welcoming both local businesses and multinational corporations across Ireland. By choosing a voyage on the bay, companies not only treat their staff to a memorable experience but also engage with the heritage and natural beauty of Dublin’s maritime landscape.
Reservations for the peak months of April, May, and June are now being prioritised. For enquiries regarding private hire, corporate packages, and availability, interested parties are encouraged to contact the company directly.
