Not sure which ticket to choose?
Access to the Jeanie Johnston is exclusively via scheduled 50-minute guided tours, making advance booking essential as capacity is limited. For a complete history of the Irish famine and emigration, the EPIC Museum combo offers the best value, while the standalone guided tour is the standard choice for the maritime experience.
You plan to visit both the ship and the EPIC Irish Emigration Museum on the same day
This bundle provides admission to both major Docklands attractions at a lower combined price than individual bookings.
Compare rows ↓You prefer a panoramic view of the Dublin Quays from the water over a stationary ship tour
This is a sightseeing cruise on the River Liffey, which is better for those with mobility issues who cannot navigate the ship's steep stairs.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: Check in at the white ticket kiosk on Custom House Quay at least 15 minutes before your scheduled tour. Access to the ship is via a gangway; while the upper deck is wheelchair accessible, the main famine museum exhibits are located in the hold and require navigating steep, narrow stairs. Because entry is strictly by guided tour, 'skip-the-line' tickets only bypass the ticket office queue—you must still wait for your specific time slot to board with the group.
- Price: Official adult tickets for the guided tour start at €16.00, with reduced rates for seniors and students (€14.00) and children aged 6–17 (€10.50); infants under 6 are free but require a reserved slot. Partner prices typically align with these official benchmarks, while the €34.00 combo offers provide a bundled discount for visitors also planning to tour the EPIC Emigration Museum, located a short walk away.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket or are mobile tickets accepted?
Mobile tickets are fully accepted and preferred. You must present your digital voucher at the Jeanie Johnston ticket office on Custom House Quay at least 15 minutes before your scheduled tour time to check in.
What happens if I arrive late for my scheduled tour?
Tours start promptly and latecomers cannot join once the group has moved below deck for safety reasons. If you miss your slot, rescheduling is at the discretion of staff and depends entirely on remaining daily availability.
Is the ship fully accessible for visitors with mobility issues?
Only the upper deck is wheelchair accessible. The majority of the tour takes place in the lower deck, which is accessed via a very steep, narrow ladder-style staircase that is not suitable for those with significant mobility restrictions.
Can I cancel or change my booking if my plans change?
Official tickets generally require 24-hour notice for any changes. Third-party platforms like GetYourGuide often provide a 24-hour full refund window, which offers more flexibility than some direct-purchase promotional rates.
Are there reduced rates for children, students, or seniors?
Yes, reduced pricing is available for children (6–17), students with valid ID, and seniors (65+). Children aged 0–5 enter free, but they must still have a reserved ticket to manage the ship's strict 30-person capacity.
Is it better to buy a standalone ticket or the EPIC Museum combo?
If you have 3-4 hours, the EPIC Museum combo (id: GetYourGuide Standard ticket) is better value. Both attractions are located on the same quay and together provide a complete narrative of the Irish Famine and emigration.
Does the tour still operate during bad weather?
Tours proceed in all weather conditions. While the lower deck is sheltered, the introductory portion of the tour is held on the open upper deck, so waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear are highly recommended.
