The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
A bespoke, door-to-door private tour collecting you dockside at Dunmore East and sweeping through medieval Kilkenny and Viking Waterford at your own pace — the ultimate luxury way to unlock southeast Ireland in a single day.
Board a premium small-group coach at the cruise terminal and be swept into medieval Kilkenny — Ireland's best-preserved Norman city — finishing with an insider tour of Waterford Crystal's legendary factory floor.
Step onto the floor of Ireland's most iconic crystal atelier and watch master craftsmen blow, shape and hand-cut Waterford Crystal in the very factory where every piece begins — a truly rare industrial art experience.
Unlock 1,100 years of Irish history on foot through Waterford's acclaimed Viking Triangle — three world-class museums, medieval towers, and the oldest city in Ireland brought alive by an expert local guide.
Discover one of Europe's most extraordinary hidden gardens — a contemplative, immaculately tended Japanese landscape in the heart of County Waterford, honouring the Irish-Greek writer who became Japan's greatest foreign storyteller.
Explore the dramatic sea arches, hidden coves and wild headlands of Dunmore East by kayak — one of Ireland's most scenic coastlines, virtually on your ship's doorstep, with expert local instructors guiding every stroke.
