Assume you're docking in Greenock for Glagow which takes 30 -45 mins dependng on train. Are you docking at Rosyth or South Queensferry for Edinburgh? Cork is a fairly short train ride round the bay from where you dock at Cobh (from where Titanic set sail!). Train tends to get very busy, but station is a short walk away.

From what I have learned:

Cork = 25 mins away via train from Cobh (docking city).

Dublin = Ship docks there, you take only taxis I believe.

Belfast = Ship docks there, taxis.

Edinburgh = Ship docks in S. Queensferry and you can take a taxi or 15-min train into Edinburgh.

Glasgow = Ship docks in Greenock and it's a 20-30 min train ride into Glasgow city.

Paris = Ship docks in Le Havre. There is a 2-hour high-speed train that can take you from Le Havre into Paris.

Liverpool seems to be the most "walkable" close city, as far as distance from the ship, as well as Guernsey.

 

I'm sure the experts will chime in now.... :)

Our ship for Edinburgh docks at Rosyth.

 

What is the best way to get in to Edinburgh?

You can't walk from the ship to St. Peter Port, Guernsey.
