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.
Step behind the velvet rope at the world's most celebrated crystal house for an exclusive private tour. Watch master craftspeople transform molten glass into heirloom pieces — blowing, cutting, and engraving by hand — then browse the showroom for a piece that's uniquely yours.
Strap on a VR headset and be transported to 914 AD as a Viking warrior defending Waterford — Ireland's oldest city — in this multi-award-winning immersive experience. Cutting-edge technology brings the Norse founders of 'Vadrefjord' to vivid, thundering life.
Join an expert local historian for the definitive walking tour of the Viking Triangle — Waterford's medieval heart — taking in Reginald's Tower, the Medieval Museum, and the Bishop's Palace in one seamless, story-rich journey through 1,100 years of Irish history.
Explore one of Ireland's greatest privately-owned estates — Curraghmore, home of the Marquess of Waterford — with access to its magnificent formal gardens, ancient woodlands, and a remarkable shell house built by Lady Catherine Power in the 1750s.
Climb to the lantern room of Hook Lighthouse — over 800 years old and the oldest operational lighthouse in the world — for panoramic views of the Celtic Sea and a guided tour through its medieval tower. An utterly singular piece of maritime history.
Paddle through ancient sea caves and dramatic volcanic rock formations along the Copper Coast — a UNESCO Global Geopark — on a small-group guided kayaking adventure. This is Ireland's wild Atlantic geology at its most spectacular, experienced from the water.
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.
