River Cruise & Dublin Sights

OVERVIEW

This unhurried tour invites you to view Dublin’s top landmarks from both land and water during a single half-day excursion. “Dublin’s Fair City"" is bustling, cosmopolitan, ancient but exuberantly youthful. Your voyage through its history commences at the Docklands as you board the Liffey Voyager for a relaxing river cruise. Gliding past icons like the cast-iron Ha’penny Bridge and Gandon’s neoclassical Custom House, you’ll learn how much of present-day Dublin sits on reclaimed land, including Trinity College and the Spire in O’Connell Street. After a time, you’ll rejoin your coach and guide to continue your landmarks tour via panoramic drive. See the Georgian Squares of Merrion and Fitzwilliam, photograph the renowned Dublin Doorways, and pause at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Ireland’s largest. Pass the Guinness Brewery, where the legendary Black Stuff is made, and stop to breath in the oxygen at vast Phoenix Park – where Ireland’s President and the American Ambassador live, and herds of deer roam freely. The list of sights seen goes on and on, but space prohibits us from mentioning every highlight of this truly expansive Dublin journey. You’ll simply have to join in to find out.
