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.

Along Ireland's wild Atlantic coast, world-class surfing breaks crash against dramatic shores, while Clare's jaw-dropping Cliffs of Moher provide heart-stopping backdrops for coastal walks. Our advisors can arrange private helicopter tours over the sublime Ring of Kerry, where emerald cliffs meet the roaring sea.
“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.”
