Starting with 2 nights in Dublin, passengers will have the opportunity to see plenty of the city’s sights as well as an optional return trip by steam along the scenic coastal line from Dublin to Wexford and Rosslare. We head off then to Killarney, probably Ireland’s most famous tourist destination adjacent to the world famous Ring of Kerry and set among beautiful lakes and mountains. The hotels here are of exceptional quality and it is by popular demand that we have decided to make this return. We then head across the country for our first visit to the North West Irish town of Westport, set on the Atlantic Coast and surrounded by stunning scenery – not least the 13th Century Ashford Castle, named ‘the best hotel in the world’, where Pullman Style Dining passengers will be staying at the Lodge.
The tour finishes with a trip to Belfast and an opportunity to visit the North Coast of Antrim or the Giants Causeway. Passengers who would like to see more of the Irish Republic have the option of a further night in Dublin instead. We will be working with our good friends and colleagues at the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland whose hospitality seems to know no bounds! Their carriages are a delight to travel in and every year there seems to be another steam locomotive to use and we are hoping on this trip we might have as many as four locomotives at different times.
