Ireland Intensive Cruise: Dublin, Belfast & Galway

• Day 1 Dublin

  Dublin offers a wealth of historic sites dating back to a 1,000-year-old Viking village (including pubs that are almost as old), and as one might expect of the Irish, there is a tale to be told about every one.

• Day 2 Dublin
• Day 3 Cobh

  The seaside town of Cobh is known for its great maritime heritage and history and is renowned as the last port of call for RMS Titanic-and since that fateful day in 1912, it has remained largely unchanged.

• Day 4 Bantry

  Immortalized in a popular Irish folk song, Bantry Bay is one of Ireland’s most captivating seaside scenes. Postcard-perfect towns abound, and nature’s wonder is full display around every turn. Part of the breathtaking Wild Atlantic Way, the region’s stunning coastal beauty is matched only by the authentic, warm welcome you’ll receive from friendly locals.

• Day 5 Foynes

  Halfway down the majestic River Shannon. Foynes is a port with its fair share of aviation and culinary history. Plus, it provides easy access to Ireland’s charming countryside & the city of Limerick.

• Day 6 Galway

  With its storied history, brightly colored shops, excellent bars and restaurants, traditional music sessions, and over 122 festivals and events each year, Galway may be Ireland’s most enchanting city.

• Day 7 Killybegs

  On the banks of the River Eske in the shadow of the Blue Stack Mountains lies Donegal, an authentically Irish village where great chieftains once ruled the countryside.

• Day 8 Belfast

  In the early 1900’s Belfast had the world’s largest shipyard; now the city and riverfront are undergoing a transformation, but many Victorian and Edwardian buildings still sport the carved heads of royalty.

• Day 9 Belfast
• Day 11 Fowey

  Nestled in the mouth of a wooded estuary, Fowey (pronounced Foy) is still very much a working china-clay port as well as a focal point for the sailing fraternity. Increasingly, it's also a favored home of the rich and famous. Good and varied dining and lodging options abound; these are most in demand during Regatta Week in mid- to late August and the annual Fowey Festival of Words and Music in mid-May. The Bodinnick and Polruan ferries take cars as well as foot passengers across the river for the coast road on to Looe.A few miles west of Fowey are a pair of very different gardens: the Eden Project, a futuristic display of plants from around the world, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, a revitalized reminder of the Victorian age.

• Day 12 Portsmouth

  Step into the vibrant city of Portsmouth. Explore iconic ships like the HMS Victory at the National Musuem of the Royal Navy. Or wander through Gunwharf Quays, a lively waterfront destination filled with designer outlets and trendy restaurants.
