In Dublin, Georgian charm blends with literary legacy. Stroll cobbled streets once walked by Yeats and Joyce, admire the Book of Kells at Trinity College, then tour the Guinness Storehouse or Jameson Distillery—before unwinding in the elegance of a storied historic hotel.

Ireland’s rich past echoes across the land, from Tipperary’s Rock of Cashel to Cork’s Blarney Castle, where the famous Stone promises the gift of eloquence. Soak up traditional music in Galway's lively streets, try archery in castle gardens, or forage with a chef for traditional Irish ingredients.

  • “Glide through emerald heartlands aboard Shannon Princess, an exclusive luxury hotel barge with just five cabins, sipping whisky as castles drift by. Cruising from Lough Ree to Lough Derg, guests will enjoy exquisite meals prepared by the barge’s master chef, as mist-wrapped landscapes reveal the ancient monasteries, crumbling castles, and hidden gems of the fabled River Shannon.”

  • “For those seeking something extraordinary, we love retreating to County Mayo’s Ashford Castle, where 800 years of history await. This 5-star fortress sits on Lough Corrib’s shores. Wake to lakeside views from your four-poster, dine under Waterford chandeliers, explore 350 acres of woodlands, indulge in a luxurious spa experience, and enjoy Ireland at its most lavishly regal.”
