Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Land on the raw Atlantic rock of Skellig Michael — a 6th-century monastery perched 218m above the sea. One of the world's most dramatic UNESCO sites, accessible only by licensed boat.
Stand at the edge of 214-metre sea cliffs stretching 14km along the Atlantic — Ireland's most iconic coastal panorama. Pair them with the lunar limestone wilderness of the Burren for a full-day private journey.
Walk among 40,000 interlocking basalt columns on the Antrim Coast — one of the world's great geological wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site — before the ruins of Dunluce Castle crown a coastal sea-stack beside the sea.
Sail Galway Bay to the wildly remote Aran Islands — limestone fortresses in the Atlantic, home to Iron Age forts and Irish-speaking islanders — with a dramatic cruise past the Cliffs of Moher from the sea.
Roar out of Dingle Harbour aboard a rigid inflatable to meet Fungie's successors — wild bottlenose dolphins — amid some of the most breathtaking Atlantic coastline in Europe.
Kiss the legendary Blarney Stone for the 'gift of eloquence', explore a 15th-century castle set in 60 acres of gardens, then graze Ireland's most celebrated Victorian food market in the heart of Cork city.
