June 20, 2027
Today you and your new Sisters have the freedom to dive into Dublin however you choose, and there’s no shortage of ways to make it a great one. You might spend it exploring the city’s streets and landmarks, shopping along lively avenues, or settling into a pub where the energy builds as the day goes on. Tonight, we’ll kick things off the way Ireland should be kicked off: with a warm, lively Welcome Dinner featuring traditional Irish cuisine, plenty of laughter, and an atmosphere that sets the tone for our adventure ahead. (Breakfast and Dinner included)

From the historic presence of St. Patrick’s Cathedral to the energy of O’Connell Street and the beauty of the National Gallery, we’ll get a deeper feel for the character of the city. Enjoy some free time this afternoon to explore more of Dublin. Tonight shifts into something distinctly Irish. We’ll make our way to the Guinness Storehouse, where we’ll dive into the story behind Ireland’s most famous beer before heading up to the Gravity Bar. With sweeping views across the city and a perfectly poured pint in hand, it’s one of those moments that just feels like Ireland.

This afternoon, you get to choose how to experience more of Waterford. You can visit the Waterford Crystal factory to see master craftsmanship up close, or perhaps, you’d rather explore the Medieval Museum, complete with a guided tour and a glass of wine in the 15th-century Mayor’s Wine Vault.

Today brings one of Ireland’s most iconic moments at Blarney Castle, where those who dare to climb the 128 steps can kiss the legendary Blarney Stone and claim the gift of eloquence.

Prepare to be awestruck as you stand along the edge, taking in those sweeping views over the Atlantic, where there’s no shortage of incredible photo moments here. This evening we’ll step into a real castle for a medieval banquet where the atmosphere is as fun as it is immersive. Mead will be poured, the setting feels straight out of another century, and before long, the room will fill with music, laughter, and a few toasts that may get a little spirited.

Hotel: Radisson Blu Hotel Sligo
June 27, 2027
Today we’ll take in the rugged beauty of County Donegal, where the scenery feels a little wilder and a little less touched. In Donegal Town, there’s time to wander the square, browse local craft and woolen shops, and step into one of Ireland’s finest tweed stores. From there, we’ll continue on to Derry, a city with a powerful story and a completely different feel. A guided walk through the walled city will bring its history to life, with time in the charming Craft Village tucked inside its 19th-century square. Tonight, the choice is yours. We’ll give you a list of Derry’s included great local restaurants, and you and your Sisters can choose whichever speaks to you, giving the evening a relaxed, fun, go-where-you-feel-like-it kind of vibe.

When we return to Derry this afternoon, enjoy some free time with your new besties. Tonight brings something a little unexpected and a lot of fun.

(Breakfast and Dinner included)
Hotel: The Ebrington Londonderry
June 29, 2027
Today brings one of Northern Ireland’s most unforgettable sights, the Giant’s Causeway. With its striking rock formations stretching into the sea, it’s one of those places that feels almost surreal when you’re standing there taking it all in. From here, we wind our way along the scenic back roads of the Glens of Antrim, where the landscape shifts again into something softer, greener, and incredibly beautiful as we make our way toward Belfast. Before the day wraps up, we’ll stop at a country inn for a taste of real Irish hospitality, a relaxed and welcoming end to a day filled with some of the most iconic scenery in Northern Ireland. (Breakfast and Dinner included)

A visit to the Titanic Experience brings that history to life in a way that’s both immersive and unforgettable, adding another layer to a city that continues to surprise. The rest of the day and evening are yours to enjoy Belfast however you’d like. It’s the perfect time to revisit a favorite spot, explore something new, or simply head out and enjoy one last great night with the amazing Sisters you’ve traveled with. (Breakfast included)

Activity Level:
Moderate
Our journey through Ireland offers a balanced mix of guided sightseeing, cultural experiences, and free time, with regular walking and full days of exploration. Travelers should be comfortable being on their feet for extended periods, navigating historic areas, and managing occasional physical challenges associated with older sites and natural landscapes.
Walking and Standing
You can expect daily walking that ranges from approximately 1 to 3 hours, often broken up throughout the day. Guided tours include walking through historic districts where motorcoach access is limited. Standing for periods of time is common during sightseeing and guided commentary. At sites such as the Giant’s Causeway and Cliffs of Moher, walking distances may vary depending on how much you choose to explore.
Stairs and Physical Challenges
Certain experiences on this itinerary require additional physical effort. At Blarney Castle, those wishing to kiss the Blarney Stone must climb 128 narrow, winding stone steps to the top and descend the same way. This staircase is steep, enclosed, and may not be suitable for those with mobility concerns or a fear of tight spaces. Participation is optional.
Terrain and Conditions
Much of the walking takes place on uneven terrain, including cobblestone streets, historic pathways, and natural landscapes. At the Cliffs of Moher, pathways can be uneven and exposed, and conditions at the top are often very windy.
Transportation and Travel Days
This itinerary includes several longer travel days by motorcoach as you move between regions of Ireland and Northern Ireland. These drives are scenic and broken up with stops, but travelers should be comfortable spending multiple hours on the coach throughout the journey.
Accommodations
Hotels throughout Ireland may differ from what you are accustomed to in the United States. Guest rooms can be smaller, particularly in historic properties, and air conditioning is not always available. Bathrooms often feature high-sided bathtubs that require stepping in and out to shower, which may require extra care and balance.
