Day 1 (Friday): 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 Clondalkin on the outskirts of Dublin.
After checking in there will be a one-way coach transfer, departing 2.30pm, from the hotel to Dublin city centre. The coach will drop you next to the Arlington Hotel in central Dublin.
You can watch the match in one of the many lively bars in the city centre. If you are one of the lucky ones with a ticket to the match, make your way to the Aviva Stadium in time for the 8.10pm kick off.
You will need to make your own way back to the hotel in Clondalkin at the end of your evening.
Day 2 (Saturday): After breakfast there will be a one-way coach transfer at 11.00am to Dublin city centre. The coach will once again drop you next to the Arlington Hotel in central Dublin.
The day is at leisure to do as you wish in this fascinating and charming capital city that is steeped in history. See Dublin Castle, Trinity College, the iconic H’apenny Bridge and the abundance of museums and galleries. If you enjoy a tipple visit the Guinness Brewery, located at St James’s Gate, or pop into one of the many watering holes in the busy Temple Bar area to watch the Six Nations matches between Scotland v France at 2.10pm or Italy v England at 4.40pm.
You will need to make your own way back to the hotel in Clondalkin at the end of your day.
Day 3 (Sunday): Enjoy breakfast before we travel to Dublin city centre, where there will be some free time before our 2.50pm return sailing to Holyhead.
