The Best of Ireland Itinerary
Day 1
Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Belfast. On arrival, we transfer to Hollywood, Belfast and Culloden Estate & Spa (5T), standing on wooded slopes overlooking Belfast Lough and the County Antrim coastline, where you will have time to unwind before dinner is served.
Day 2
This morning, we depart on Northern Ireland’s most essential journey - the Causeway Coastal Route - alongside the glens of Antrim. The first stop is Carrickfergus Castle, one of Northern Ireland’s most striking medieval monuments. We continue to the UNESCO World Heritage Site - The Giant’s Causeway. This geological feat is an unforgettable force of nature; or maybe you will choose to believe the myth that this was the handiwork of a local ogre! We return to our hotel later this afternoon.
Day 3
This morning we depart for our excursion to the Titanic Belfast Exhibition, where you will learn the story of the Titanic, from its construction to the infamous maiden voyage. We then journey south, stopping at Enniskillen for a cruise on Lough Erne, where 160 wooded islands are dotted within hundreds of miles of freshwater. A light lunch is included. We later arrive at Hodson Bay Hotel (4T) or Athlone Springs Hotel (4T).
Day 4
Today we depart for Cork. En route we will travel around Liscannor Bay where we encounter the rugged Cliffs of Moher rising some 700 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. This afternoon we arrive at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Little Island (4T), Jurys Inn Cork (4T) or Maryborough Hotel & Spa (4T).
Day 5
Today we make an early start for our excursion into Killarney National Park, where Ireland’s highest mountains sweep down to meet lake shores, and where we will visit the delightful Victorian Muckross House for a guided tour.

We take a look at the Waterford Crystal Visitor Centre to learn of its time-honoured trade, before making our way to Powerscourt House and Gardens.
