Itinerary

Day 1 (Thursday): Travel to Holyhead for the 9.00am ferry crossing to Dublin. Upon arrival (approx. 12.30pm) we disembark the ferry and travel directly to our hotel in Kilkenny for a 3-night stay.

Day 2 (Friday): After breakfast, the day is free to enjoy match day in Kilkenny. A medieval city where the bars are dotted around historic buildings and cobbled streets. As the sun goes down, the sound of laughter and trad music fill the narrow streets.

Day 3 (Saturday): You'll have free time to explore Ireland’s medieval capital at leisure. Be sure to visit Kilkenny Castle, located above the broad sweep of the River Nore, while a pretty, humpbacked stone bridge leads up into narrow, cheerful streets lined with carefully maintained buildings.

Day 4 (Sunday): After breakfast we depart Kilkenny and travel to Dublin for our return sailing to Holyhead.
