[diskids2]

Anyone have a go to cruise line for british isles or a go to itinerary.  We are looking for a heavy focus on Ireland.

 

Any recommendations...thank you so much!

We’re doing the Princess 12 day British Isles in May.   It has 3 Ireland stops, but maybe still not as in depth as you’re thinking?

I think there's a land tour before the Princess British Isles cruise and that seems to focus on Ireland.

Have you thought about flying via Dublin (Shannon) and spending a few days there before or after?

We have an oceania british Isles cruise in August

Been looking at the UK for a return cruise as really enjoyed our past one.  Oceania has a 10 day cruise Dublin to Dublin in August 2024 with 6 ports of call in Ireland and 3 in England and may be the one Mrs. F. is referring to. There is also a 8 day Belfast to Belfast in June 2024 with 6 ports of call in Ireland and 1 in Northern Ireland.

I've seen that one and it does appeal to us with the three stops.

I'm going to look into that too.

It could be an option.  I just have to want to plan on my own and with all I have going on, I might not be able to do it....but it is a very good option.

I've looked at that one and it does appeal because of the three stops.

We did a great itinerary ... Ireland, Iceland & Scotland with Celebrity and looking at doing the British Isles with Celebrity or RCI will check out Princess also...thanks.

We just booked a 10 night with NCL from Southampton that does Waterford, Dingle, Galway, Killybegs, Belfast, Dublin and Cork. This is our first time to Ireland and we are thinking this will give us a great overview of the area.

Celebrity has a British Isles cruise in May that leaves from Amsterdam and does 2 days in Cobh, 1 in Belfast and 1 in Waterford in addition to some of non-Ireland stops.

We are sailing on the new Vista in June.  Our UK cruise onboard Marina was in August and did need to dress in layers for some northern ports. Very excited to sail the new Vista ship.

I'm looking at an 11-night cruise on Azamara Pursuit, starting June 13, from Dublin to Southampton with 7 ports of call in the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland: Warrenpoint, Belfast (overnight), Londonderry, Donegal, Galway, Foynes, and Cobh/Cork. It also includes an overnight aboard ship in Dublin before sailing. I've never been on Azamara, but they get excellent reviews. Their current promotion includes a balcony for the price of an inside and $1,000/cabin of OBC.
