Ireland: the Luck of the Irish on the Douglas Mawson

• Follow the footsteps of the Irish who left for foreign shores, at Dublin, Cobh, Kinsale and Londonderry.
• Discover the rugged beauty of the Ring of Kerry, Skellig Islands, Cliffs of Moher, Slieve League Cliffs and Giant’s Causeway.
• Hear tales of Ireland's past at the famine cottages, Irish workhouse, Viking Waterford, Blarney Castle, Belfast’s dockyards and on the streets of Dublin.

Relentlessly shaped by the surrounding seas, Ireland’s rugged coastline is best discovered by ship. Thanks to the country's compact size, travellers can delve deeply into its coastal beauty and inland charm. Our journey will lead us along dramatic cliffs, through ancient castles and winding backstreets—even into the hollows of old trees—as we uncover tales of saints, heroes, mythical beings, and warm-hearted locals. Along the way, we’ll immerse ourselves in the wit, wonder, and spirit of Ireland’s most enduring treasure: its people.
