Uncover the rich experiences awaiting you on this 8-day Ireland and Northern Ireland cruise.

Experience the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher as you cruise between Galway and Dingle. Take in the sweeping coastal views 2,000 feet above the waves at the crest of Slieve League Cliffs, one of Europe's highest coastal precipices and a mere giant's boulder toss from the white-walled village of Killybegs. Visit Killary Fjord, the only fjord in Ireland. Tap your toes to Irish flutes and sip tea near stone monuments that make up the Dingle Peninsula's rich archaeological heritage. Kiss the Blarney Stone atop the storied battlements of Blarney Castle. Then, sample Irish coffee with Cork locals at an authentic pub.
