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 private, expert-led circumnavigation of Ireland's largest peninsula — Malin Head, Grianan of Aileach, sea cliffs and hidden coves — all at your own pace. The ultimate sweep of Donegal's wild Atlantic edge.
Step inside a 14th-century Anglo-Norman fortress overlooking Lough Foyle, then explore Ireland's maritime heritage in the neighbouring museum — all with a private local historian as your guide.
Board a private charter vessel on Lough Foyle — one of Europe's great estuaries — to seek out the resident common seal colony, bottlenose dolphins and rare seabirds in their natural habitat. A truly intimate wildlife encounter.
Derry's 17th-century city walls — the finest intact in Ireland — are your stage for a private walkthrough of centuries of history: sieges, Plantation, Civil Rights and the Troubles. One of Europe's most emotionally powerful urban experiences.
Pull up a chair at Greencastle's celebrated harbour-front restaurant for a multi-course seafood lunch built entirely around the morning's catch — landed just metres away. The freshest Donegal crab, oysters and Atlantic salmon, with Irish soda bread baked that morning.
Board the short passenger ferry across Lough Foyle to Magilligan Point in Northern Ireland, then journey onward to the UNESCO Giant's Causeway — all from your cruise port, no coach required for the crossing.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
