Itinerary
Ireland, known affectionately as 'the Emerald Isle', is renowned for its excellent hospitality and you can be assured of a warm welcome by your driver, who is waiting to meet you at the port walkway. Along with your guide, discover the history, literary heritage and culture that lies behind Dublin’s elegant Georgian architecture and famous landmarks, during your full-day tour.
Founded in the 16th century, Trinity College is Ireland's oldest university and holds the Book of Kells, a greatly treasured example of early Irish manuscript illumination. History lovers may opt to visit the nearby Treasury of the National Museum or EPIC - the interactive museum commemorating the emigration of 10 million Irish. For those interested in art, the National Gallery houses a superb collection.
Afterwards make a lunchtime pit stop at the Guinness Storehouse, where you learn how a pint of the world-famous Guinness is created. The heart of the building is modelled on a giant pint glass, which would hold approximately 14 million pints of Guinness beer if filled. Enjoy a complimentary pint of Guinness in the Gravity Bar, which boast 360-degree views of the capital. Complete your tour with a visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral, the largest church in Ireland and final resting place of Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver's Travels. Here, take a guided tour of the impressive staterooms which are a long time symbol of British rule in Ireland, before being transferred back to your ship.
