Guest advice:
Following the pandemic, full clearance has again been given to the cruise line industry to dock at Ireland's ports of Dublin, Dún Laoghaire, Cork, Cobh and Belfast. We are seeing cruise numbers starting to boom again. During peak- season (May 1st - September 30th) multiple cruise ships are expected at the major ports on a daily basis. This small group tour tends to sell- out well ahead of departure for most dates within this period. Accordingly, we recommend advance reservation where possible, to avoid disappointment.

UNESCO Giant's Causeway
We expect to arrive at Giant's Causeway around 11:15. Considered one of the 'Natural Wonders of the World', Giant's Causeway was formed by more than 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns that were created by volcanic activity 60 million years ago.
Some locals would have you believe that the Causeway is reputed to be the walkway created by Fionn MacCumhaill, the legendary Irishman who fought Scottish giant Benandonner to win the love of the most beautiful girl in the highlands.
Enjoy approximately 1 hour 45 minutes at leisure to experience this unique wonder of nature.
Your GBP 15.00 / EUR 17.00 entrance is included for the Giant's Causeway Visitor Centre.
Titanic Belfast or Black Taxi Tour
Arrive in Belfast by 14:30 approx.
While in Northern Ireland’s capital you will have just under three hours to enjoy a brief highlights tour, some time at leisure for refreshments and one of these two options, costs included;
A) The legendary ocean liner RMS Titanic was built here in Belfast’s docklands, which used to be the leading manufacturer of ships in the world. In order to commemorate the loss of the notorious cruise liner they have created the Titanic Experience. Opened on the 100th anniversary of the ship’s sinking, the exhibition brings to life the 40,000 workers who built the famed vessel and unveils unseen details of the Titanic’s tragic sinking on her maiden voyage in 1912. You will have the opportunity to experience original artifacts and virtual reality exhibits while exploring one of Belfast’s most famed attractions.
B) Belfast’s neighbourhoods are painted with infamous political murals and the prominent peace walls that are remnants and reminders of the conflict known as the Troubles (1969-1998). You will have the option to take a Black Taxi Tour of these neighborhoods where you can discover the dark history that lies behind these painting. The Black Taxi Tour guides are leading experts on the Troubles and are the perfect tour for those wanting to learn more about Ireland’s history.
Depart Belfast at 17:30 approx
