Itinerary

Day 1 - Outward Travel – to Overnight stay in Dublin Area

  • We depart and make our way to Holyhead for our sailing to Dublin. On arrival we make our way to our overnight stay in the Dublin Area.

Day 2 - Outward Travel - via Cork to Ballyvourney

  • Our journey continues as we head West across the beautiful Emerald Isle. En route we visit Cork – the second largest city in Ireland and a maritime city with a wealth of history to be discovered. Later in the day we continue our journey to Ballyvourney, on the edge of County Kerry.

Day 3 - Full Day Dingle Peninsula

  • Take in the fabulous coastal scenery of the Dingle Peninsula. Expansive beaches, ancient sites and rocky headlands can be admired as we make our way to the colourful harbour town of Dingle. Famed for its hardware pubs, there are also fashion and jewellery shops, fine dining options and some of the best ice cream to be found on the island of Ireland! We’ll also make our way to Slea Head to admire the views of the rugged Blasket Islands, known as the ‘next parish to America’.

Day 4 - Full Day Ring of Kerry

  • A 100-mile scenic spectacular awaits today as we embark on an awe-inspiring excursion around the famous Ring of Kerry. A place where pristine golden sands give way to incredible cliffs and rolling green hills disappear dramatically into sparkling lakes, we are joined by a knowledgeable guide who will tell us the tales and legends of the history, people and landscapes on this wonderful day out. We will skirt Ireland’s highest mountains, pass through Killorglin as well as taking in the incomparable views of Moll’s Gap and Ladies View – do not forget your camera!

Day 5 - Day at Leisure in Killarney including Jaunting Car

  • Today is a day to relax and do as you please in the bustling town of Killarney itself. We’ll transfer you into town which has been popular with visitors for over 250 years, including Queen Victoria and even Thomas Cook! Stroll along the pretty streets that are packed with independent shops, cafes and cosy pubs where you could relax with a pint of the ‘black stuff’ and enjoy the ‘craic’ with the locals! During the day we we’ll also have chance to join a Jaunting Car into the Killarney National Park – a traditional pony & trap ride will take you past the spire of St Mary’s Cathedral, traditional thatched cottages and includes a short stop to discover the rich history of Ross Castle before returning to Killarney.

Day 6 - En route Dublin to Overnight stay in Dublin Area

  • We depart and retrace our tracks across Ireland to arrive in the lively capital city of Dublin. Here there will be some free time to explore – take in the sights such as the Ha’Penny Bridge, Trinity College and the Molly Malone statue, hit the shops on Grafton Street or head into one of the many colourful pubs of the Temple Bar district – the choice is yours! Later in the day we’ll continue to our overnight hotel in the Dublin Area.

Day 7 - Return travel – Dublin-Holyhead with breakfast on board

  • Our adventure in Ireland has sadly come to an end and we depart early this morning making our way to the port for our return sailing to Holyhead and have breakfast on board.
