Discover the rich history, legendary tales, and stunning landscapes of Ireland and Scotland on this extraordinary 14-days expedition. Traveling aboard our expedition vessel, you’ll enjoy easy access to iconic landmarks and lesser-known treasures—from Ireland’s vibrant cities and sacred sites to Scotland’s dramatic castles and rugged coastlines.
Trace the harrowing journeys of famine-stricken families and the millions who emigrated to the New World. Follow in the footsteps of literary giants like Oscar Wilde and James Joyce, and visit Kilmainham Gaol to learn about the resilience of Ireland’s political prisoners. Explore sacred sites such as St. Patrick’s grave, Kylemore Abbey, and the Rock of Cashel while immersing yourself in the charm of Ireland’s bustling cities and peaceful villages.
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated worldwide with 13 million pints of Guinness raised in his honor, yet St. Patrick himself was neither Irish nor canonized—a testament to the Irish gift for weaving tales into legend. This journey honors that tradition, revealing the lives of saints, saviors, and unsung heroes who shaped Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland.
In Edinburgh, uncover Scotland’s rich history as you explore the Royal Mile, visit Edinburgh Castle, and reflect at the William Wallace Monument. From Ireland’s Emerald Isle to Scotland’s storied streets, each day brings new stories of the people who shaped these remarkable lands.
Secure your place today and get ready for a journey that seamlessly blends adventure, culture, and discovery.
