About Cruising to Greenock (Glasgow)

Greenock is in a stunning spot on the River Clyde, with magnificent views across to the mountains and beyond. It has no tidal or lock restrictions, and is accessible year-round for ships of all sizes. It is visited by a large number of cruise lines including: Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean, MSC Cruises, Cunard, P&O Cruises, Fred. Olsen Cruise Line, Holland America, Azamara, Cruise & Maritime Voyages and -- for the first time this year (2015) -- Disney Cruise Line. It is also homeport to Hebridean Cruises, whose one ship, Hebridean Princess, has twice been chartered by HM The Queen.

The town of Greenock is just a 5-minute walk from the terminal; walk up Lyle Hill and you'll get vistas of Loch Long, Holy Loch, Loch Goil, Gareloch, the Argyll Hills and a number of Munro Mountains on a clear day.

Greenock is the port for Glasgow, which is 35 minutes by road or rail; it takes about an hour and a half to get to Edinburgh. Greenock Ocean Terminal has been recently refurbished and includes visitor information, shops, internet access and a bureau de change. Visit Greennock on an upcoming Scotland cruise itinerary.

Why Cruise to Greenock (Glasgow)?

Pros:

A walk into town will yield views of mountains and lakes; you'll find internet and shops at the terminal

Cons:

Glasgow, the main attraction during a stop in Greenock, is 35 minutes away; Edinburgh is 90 minutes

Bottom Line:

You'll have to venture outside of Greenock to get the most from a visit to this port

Currency & Best Way to Get Money?

Pounds Sterling, but note that Scotland prints its own notes so you may do a double take when you see one -- but it is legal tender. The nearest ATMs are in Greenock, five minutes walk away. For current currency conversion figures visit www.oanda.com or www.xe.com.

Language?

English (with a Scottish accent).


Greenock (Glasgow) Cruise Reviews
We were docked here 10am-6pm and even getting into Glasgow would give only 4 hours of sightseeing, there didn't seem a lot to do around Greenock. Be sure to check train time to make the best use of the time in GlasgoRead More

Good excursion options (e.g. Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, trips to Highlands and Lochs and 2 hours to Edinburgh via coach) BUT nothing to see in Greenock and not a big fan of Glasgow...Read More

We walked to a local park and look-out point. We met and talked with some friendly local citizens. The views from the lookout were worth the walk. On the pier, drum and pipe band set the mood.Read More
