Your Excursions

Trim, Athlone & River Shannon Cruise
Firstly, we call at the historic town of Trim, home to an impressive castle. We then continue to Athlone for some free time before boarding our boat and cruising the mighty River Shannon – Ireland’s longest river. Relax and enjoy the scenery as you glide through water meadows that abound with flora and fauna.

Guided Tour of Dublin
Enjoy a guided tour of Dublin onboard our coach followed by free time. This cosmopolitan capital boasts numerous tourist attractions like the Guinness Storehouse where you can stand inside the world’s largest ‘pint’ glass and Dublinia with its spellbinding Viking and medieval exhibitions. Then there’s Dublin Castle, St Patrick’s Cathedral, elegant shops, cobbled squares and more traditional pubs than you could shake a stick at – including the Brazen Head, which dates back to the twelfth century. Perhaps learn about Celtic culture at the National Leprechaun Museum or discover the city’s literary history at Dublin Writers Museum.

Irish National Stud & Japanese Gardens and Newbridge Silverware Centre & Museum of Style Icons
This working stud farm is the beating heart of Ireland’s thoroughbred horse breeding and where foals take their first steps while racing legends enjoy their retirement in verdant meadows. This attraction also features the captivating Japanese Gardens. The best of their kind in Europe, these exotic grounds are a treat for the eye as well as being thought provoking with their unique “Life of Man” experience. Later, we head to Newbridge Silverware Centre & Museum of Style Icons where you can view Princess Diana’s ‘engagement blouse’ and her famous revenge black dress. See the Givenchy dress that Audrey Hepburn wore in the thriller Charade as well as jewellery and costumes from the wardrobe of Elizabeth Taylor – among many others.
