Itinerary

Day 1 - Outward Travel - Overnight in North Wales

  • We depart and make our way to North Wales where we stay overnight.

Day 2 - Outward Travel - Holyhead-Dublin with breakfast on board then to Westport

  • This morning we make our way to the Emerald Isle, sailing from Holyhead to Dublin with breakfast on board. We then make our way across Ireland to reach Westport.

Day 3 - Full Day Killary Fjord Cruise, Connemara National Park & Kylemore Abbey

  • Be amazed by the awe-inspiring beauty of the Connemara landscapes as we enjoy an informative cruise encompassing the natural and social history of Killary Fjord. The cruise will take us to the mouth of the fjord, the gateway to the vast expanse of Atlantic Ocean and offers unrivalled views of the Wild Atlantic Way coastline. We also venture into Connemara National Park itself and call at beautiful Kylemore Abbey. Nestled into the densely wooded hills, overlooking Pollacapall Lough, Kylemore Abbey is a haven of history, beauty and serenity.

Day 4 - Full Day Galway & Connemara Crystal

  • The brightly coloured buildings of Galway City never fail to impress. The ‘city of tribes’ is rich in medieval history and Galway has a thriving city centre with wonderful cobbled streets and plenty of traditional, welcoming pubs to enjoy. Later in the day we call at Connemara Crystal, one of the few remaining crystal factories in Ireland, where we can see the skilled craftsmen at work creating the traditional Claddagh, Shamrock and Celtic Knot designs that are known the world over.

Day 5 - Full Day Achill Island, Slievemore Village & Westport

  • Achill Island is a jewel in the crown of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. Famous for its towering sea cliffs and sandy beaches, the landscapes here are raw and spectacular. We’ll discover the ruined castle of a pirate queen and visit deserted Slievemore Village, where 80-100 stone cottages once stood. With interesting tales to tell, this is a tranquil and remote spot and the perfect place for quiet reflection as you wander amongst the ruins. Later in the day we’ll return to Westport where there will be some free time to explore at leisure.

Day 6 - Return Travel - Dublin to Holyhead and Overnight in North Wales

  • We leave the Emerald Isle behind and sail from Dublin to Holyhead and continue on to our overnight stay in North Wales.
