Itinerary
Please choose your preferred 13 day itinerary
Regional departure by coach, then to Holyhead for the ferry to Ireland. We continue to our overnight hotel in the Dublin area.
Includes Dinner
We take a panoramic tour of Dublin this morning. We visit the famous Georgian quarter, featuring some of the city’s most beautiful 18-century streets and houses, renowned for their colourful doors. You’ll also see Trinity College, the Houses of Parliament, O' Connell Street, and the iconic St. Patrick's Cathedral, all from the comfort of the coach. You will then enjoy some free time before heading north.
After a short tour of Belfast, we visit the Titanic Museum. The creators of the Titanic Belfast® describe it as a "must see". It is no accident that the time it took to construct is a mirror of RMS Titanic’s build, nor is it coincidental that Eric Kuhne’s ultra-modern building resembles the hulls of four ships.
We then continue to our overnight hotel in the Belfast area.
Includes Breakfast

Included Highlights
Today, we journey along the scenic Antrim Coast, making our way to the awe-inspiring Giant's Causeway. As legends tell it, this natural wonder was crafted by the giant, Finn McCool, who is believed to have lived on the mountainside. At the interpretation centre, there is an audiovisual presentation that sheds light on the creation of these remarkable 'steps' and the many legends that surround them.
Derry, Northern Ireland's vibrant second city, is our next destination. Having blossomed in both prosperity and peace following a tumultuous past, this compact city stands as one of the most captivating destinations in the British Isles. Unique in its structure, Derry is the sole city in Ireland to be entirely surrounded by walls, each echoing over 1,450 years of history. From the 17-century walls, the city's murals come into view, serving as a reminder of key events within Derry’s more recent history.
We then continue to County Donegal for our overnight stay.
