With Hollywood stars from yesteryear on your mind, you’ll sit down to dinner in the restaurant, still decorated with 1950s telephones, a 1930s zinc bar, vintage posters and art providing an incredibly special backdrop for authentic Parisian cuisine and memories to last a lifetime.

You’ll begin your enchanting stay with a private cruise across the glittering waters of Lough Corrib to Ashford Castle which slowly appears, shimmering in the distance. As you disembark, to the sounds of a lone piper, you’ll feel moved by its haunting melody which escorts you all the way into the castle. Dating back to 1228 and an icon of Ireland, Ashford Castle is one of Trafalgar’s Stays With Stories and has housed earls, princes, celebrities, dignitaries and the dynastic Guinness family. With spectacular views and an opportunity to delve into centuries of Irish heritage, you’ll understand how a stay at Ashford Castle is a rare but never-to-be-forgotten treat, made possible by Trafalgar’s sister company, The Red Carnation Hotel Collection.

Trafalgar has devised a unique scheme to protect you against cancellation fees in the event that you should not be granted a visa. By purchasing Trafalgar’s Visa Cancellation Fee Waiver, your deposit and payment to Trafalgar will be refunded prior to your departure from your home country. The Visa Cancellation Fee Waiver covers the Land arrangements made by Trafalgar only and excludes all cruise portions, holidays with internal flights, train travel, pre and/or post trip accommodation and optional extensions. The Visa Cancellation Fee Waiver must be booked at time of making your reservation but can be paid for at time of making final payment. The Visa Cancellation Fee Waiver is not refundable. Purchase of visa waiver insurance is limited to one group of 5 guests per departure, subject to availability at time of booking. N.B. This scheme does not apply to cancellations due to change of mind or for any other reasons. It is applicable only in the event that you provide documentary proof of having a visa application refused. If a guest fails to join the guided holiday on the day of the trip’s departure, cancellation fees will be charged at 100% as according to the standard terms in this brochure under ‘Cancellations And Cancellation Fees’. Bookings made within 14 days without the necessary visa approvals are not eligible for this Visa Cancellation Fee Waiver and will be subject to the standard cancellation terms and conditions. In addition to the above, Trafalgar recommends comprehensive travel insurance is purchased. Speak to your Travel Agent. *Applicable only to the guided portion of your holiday.
