Destination Guide
Suggested Shore Excursions

Destination	Arrival	Departure
Belfast Optional Private Excursions Avoid the crowds and hustle and bustle associated with a group activity. For a memorable trip ashore, we invite you to consider a private shore excursion. Enjoy the undivided attention of your own driver/guide and the flexibility of experiencing the aspects of the local culture that most interest you. Below are just some samples of the private shore excursions we can arrange for you. Let us personalize your experience! Belfast: Cultural Belfast - 8 hours Belfast may be a small city, but it has a wealth of culture and excitement on offer for you to discover! Firstly, visit the purpose-built iconic ‘Titanic Belfast’. With over nine galleries, the Titanic story is brought to life for you with exhibitions, rides, full-scale reconstructions and lots of interactive fun. After a hearty Irish lunch (payable locally) head into Belfast city where your guide unravels stories related to “the troubles” of Northern Ireland. You cannot miss the murals across Belfast that offer a fascinating history in pictures. Although huge strides have been made in the fight to combat sectarianism in the city, the marks of the past can still be witnessed across the city, adorning the sides of buildings and walls. A tour of Belfast wouldn’t be complete without enjoying a pint of Guinness at the famous Crown Bar in the city centre. This 19th-century bar is an experience that is unique to Northern Ireland. You are privately transferred back to board your cruise after your tour. Highlights: Explore the 'Titanic Belfast' and learn about the ship's fascinating history Learn about Belfast's turbulent past and visit the famous Crown Bar in the city centre Tour Duration: 8 Hours Tour Can Operate: Morning / Afternoon Wheelchair Accessible: Please enquire for more information Physical Activity Level: Light Inclusions: Private transport by luxury car or minivan An expert local guide for 8 hours Entrance fees to all sights and museums All taxes Exclusions: All cruise travel, personal items, meals and associated costs Gratuities Belfast: Highlights of Belfast - 6 hours Today you are met by your expert local guide for a sightseeing in Belfast and the surrounding area. Spend the morning on a panoramic tour of the city centre, where you see the impressive City Hall in Donegall Square, St. Anne’s Cathedral and the buildings of Queen’s University. During this tour, your guide talks to you about the sectarian divisions that have been so prominent in Belfast in recent years. You also visit the Titanic Quarter, so-called as it was here that the ill-fated liner was being constructed a century ago. Your guide shows you where the ship was constructed and the Thomson Dock where it had its final fit-out. Highlights: Take a panoramic tour of Belfast’s city centre to see the impressive City Hall and the buildings of Queen’s University Visit the Titanic Quarter where the ill-fated liner was constructed a century ago Tour Duration: 6 hours Tour Can Operate: Morning / Afternoon Wheelchair Accessible: Please enquire for more information Physical Activity Level: Light Inclusions: Private transport by luxury car or minivan An expert local guide for 6 hours Entrance fees to all sights and museums All taxes Exclusions: All cruise travel, personal items, meals and associated costs Gratuities Belfast - Tour of Antrim Coast - Full Day Tour Depart Port by luxury vehicle accompanied by local professional guide. Leaving Belfast behind, head north on a scenic, northbound journey. Travel to the port of Larne and then join the spectacular Antrim Coast road. Onwards through the villages of Ballygalley and Glenarm to Cushendall, know as the "Capital of the Glens" and Ballycastle, host of the annual 'Oul Lammas Fair'. Arrive at The Giants Causeway Centre. Next, travel to the famouse village of Bushmills, which is home to the legendary Bushmills Whiskey Distillery. Enjoy a 2 Course lunch with tea/coffee in the wonderful Distillers Arms restaurant. Following lunch you will travel along the Coast up to the fantastic Dunluce Castle. It is thought by some to be the most picturesque of all Irish castles. Situated in the most north-easterly tip of Ireland and first built by Richard de Burgh, Earl of Ulster in the 13th century, the ruins of the castle are a huge tourist attraction. The castle is surrounded by terrifyingly steep drops at either side; these would have been essential features to the Vikings and early Christians, who were drawn to this magnificent place where an early Irish ring-fort once stood. It is situated on a 100 foot high basalt stack with a sea cave underneath. The earliest features of the castle, the two large drum towers, about nine metres in diameter, can still be seen on the eastern side. Return to Belfast Port on the motorway which runs close to some scenic inland countryside.

Enjoy the undivided attention of your own driver/guide and the flexibility of experiencing the aspects of the local culture that most interest you. Below are just some samples of the private shore excursions we can arrange for you. Let us personalize your experience! Foynes - At Your Leisure Tour (4 hours) (Provided by Moloney & Kelly) "At Your Leisure" Option: Please see below for details on this option. Enjoy a private chauffeur driven luxury sedan for “At Your Leisure” touring. You decide where you want to go and what you want to see.* Included: Private Luxury Sedan with English-Speaking driver/guide for 4 hours Bottled water in the vehicle Gratuities to driver/guide Excluded:** Cost of meals and refreshments other than bottled water Entrance fees Items of personal nature Mileage restrictions may apply. Gratuities have been prepaid. Additional gratuities are at guest’s discretion. Foynes - Guided Sightseeing Tour (8 hours) (Provided by Moloney & Kelly) Guided Sightseeing Option: Please see below for details on this option. Enjoy a private chauffeur driven luxury sedan for “Guided Sightseeing”* touring. Foynes Meet your expert local driver/guide for the drive to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. Just north of Lahinch on the coast of West Clare is the famous Cliffs of Moher, defiantly standing as giant natural ramparts against the aggressive might of the Atlantic Ocean. They rise in places to over 700 feet and stretch for almost 5 miles. O’Brien’s Tower, which was constructed in the early 19th Century as a viewing point for Victorian tourists, is located on Moher’s highest cliff. From its exceptional vantage position, you can view the Clare coastline, the Aran Islands and mountains as far apart as Kerry and Connemara. Enjoy lunch in local restaurant (not included). Continue journey to The Burren which is a karstic plateau - a stony chaos to the casual observer - with a full assemblage of the curious landforms that characterise such limestone landscapes. The region encompasses 360 km2 of gently inclined plateau with a further 200 km2 of lowland to the east of the plateau. Often described as a natural landscape, the Burren has been profoundly influenced by human activities. Early removal of the natural woodland induced soil erosion, enlarging the exposure of the underlying limestone. More than 700 different flowering plants and ferns have been recorded in the Burren. Thus, although the Burren represents only 1% of the land-mass of Ireland, 75% of the Irish native species are contained in the area. In the Burren, plants from northern (“Arctic”) regions reach their southern limits, those from southern (“subtropical”) regions attain their northern limits, while plants from high mountains (“alpines”) can be found growing at sea-level; all three groups grow side by side - and in profusion - in the Burren. Return to the ship. Included: Private Luxury Sedan with English-Speaking driver/guide for 8 hours Entrance fees for listed sights Bottled water in the vehicle Gratuities to driver/guide* Excluded: Cost of meals and refreshments other than bottled water Items of personal nature *Gratuities have been prepaid. Additional gratuities are at guest’s discretion.	09/09/2027	09/09/2027

Continue on to visit the 15th century Blarney Castle, famous for its stone, which is traditionally believed to have the power to bestow eloquence on all those who kiss it. The stone itself is set in the wall below the battlements and to kiss it, one has to lean backwards (holding on to an iron railing) from the parapet walk. Lunch at a local pub. Following lunch visit Cork City Gaol. Here you can step back in time to see what 19th Century life was like in Cork – inside and outside prison walls.
