Circumnavigating Ireland

Get ready for an incredible Sail with Seth aboard Windstar’s stunning new Star Explorer (debuting at the end of 2026) for an intimate, unforgettable circumnavigation of Ireland’s dramatic coastlines and charming towns.

You’ll begin in Dun Laoghaire with easy access to Dublin’s lively pubs, Trinity College, and waterfront promenades, then head to Belfast to explore the Titanic Quarter, political murals, and nearby Giant’s Causeway; in Londonderry walk the intact 17th-century city walls and soak up the city’s rich history and arts scene. Killybegs offers authentic fishing‑port life and rugged seascapes, while Galway buzzes with street performers, traditional music, and boutique shops; later we’ll cruise past the towering Cliffs of Moher at sunset for a cinematic photo moment. The Dingle Peninsula delivers dramatic coastal drives, storytelling pubs, and fresh seafood, and Cork pairs a lively waterfront and the English Market with easy excursions to Blarney Castle and local food and drink experiences. Waterford brings Viking history and crystal-making traditions, the serene Isles of Scilly offer sandy coves and wildlife-rich walks, and we finish with an overnight in Rouen—ample time to wander cobblestone streets, visit gothic cathedrals, and savor Normandy cuisine before disembarkation.

Ten ports and one overnight make this a richly varied voyage—perfect for travelers who want up-close coastal experiences aboard a yacht‑style ship. It’s the PERFECT way to get up close and personal with The Emerald Isle.
