Itinerary
Day 1: London - Dublin
Pass By: Railtours Ireland First Class, 16 Amiens St, Mountjoy, Dublin 1, Ireland
The trip commences at London Euston station, where you will be met by your guide and escorted onto your direct express train bound for Holyhead in Wales.
Your train, complete with onboard toilets and a shop, will speed through the beautiful countryside of England and Wales to reach Holyhead in just four hours.
Upon arrival into Holyhead's port station, you'll immediately board the Ulysses cruise-ferry for an invigorating 3.5-hour voyage across the Irish Sea to Dublin.
Facilities on the ship include a range of restaurants and bars, a 2-screen cinema, and a traditional promenade deck, from where you can enjoy the fresh sea air.
The ship arrives into Dublin Port in the early evening, and you'll be transferred directly to your 3-star hotel in Dublin City Centre for a 2-night stay or longer depending on tour option selected.
The evening and the next day(s) are yours to enjoy. Visit the world-renown Guinness Storehouse, retrace the footsteps of Molly Malone, or even take a rail tour out into the Irish countryside. The choice is yours.
At the end of a memorable visit to Ireland, you'll be transferred back to Dublin Port for the return crossing to Holyhead, where your train will be waiting to transport you through Wales and back to London.
