It has long been a source of literary inspiration, most famously as the home of Daphne du Maurier, whose legacy is celebrated annually at the town's arts festival. Today, Fowey is a haven for sailors and foodies alike, featuring a vibrant waterfront lined with independent boutiques, traditional pubs, and acclaimed restaurants serving fresh local seafood.

As Ireland’s premier fishing port, the town is defined by its bustling harbour where massive deep-sea trawlers sit alongside sleek cruise ships, all framed by the green, rolling hills of the Donegal coastline. For those on tour, Killybegs is the essential launching point for the dramatic journey toward the Sliabh Liag (Slieve League) cliffs, which are among the highest sea cliffs in Europe.

The staff and crew were a step up from most cruise companies, with genuine friendliness, even the Captain took time to sit and stalk to passengers, nothing was a problem for guest services. Food was again a cut above most other ships, especially the White Night and brunch's. The entertainments team really enjoyed themselves, which in turn made it fun for us passengers, 22 days of one of the best cruises we have had.
