Home to Ireland's busiest port, Dublin is the perfect city for quintessentially Irish attractions. Explore the iconic birthplace of Guinness at the Guinness Storehouse, where you can learn how it's made and have a taste for yourself. A walk will then take you to St Patrick's Cathedral, and March's Library which hosts over 20,000 rare books as well as exhibitions throughout the year. Families and kids will also love the numerous lush parks throughout the city to enjoy the great outdoors.
Things to do in Dublin:
Guinness Storehouse
One of the most popular attractions in Dublin is the Guinness Storehouse. The moment you step foot in this incredible attraction and brewery you’ll be greeted by the rich smell of the roasting barley and malt. Spend your time there learning about the fascinating history, including how Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 year lease and the adverts and merchandise they have created throughout the years. At the end of the self-guided tour you can head to the sky bar for a taste of it.
Kilmainham Gaol
Former jail Kilmainham Gaol is located in Kilmainham, Dublin The Office of Public Works, a department of the Irish government, currently manages it as a museum. On the UK government's instructions, several Irish revolutionaries, including the organisers of the 1916 Easter Rising, were imprisoned and executed there. A fascinating attraction, it’s just outside the city and is worth a visit during your time in Dublin.

Douglas
DAY 2
19 Aug 2026
Time at Port: from 12:30 PM to 7 PM
Douglas, the seaside capital of the Isle of Man, is a charming mix of Victorian heritage and bustling maritime energy. Its most iconic feature is the sweeping three mile promenade, where traditional horse drawn trams still clip clop along the seafront past grand 19th century hotels. The town is the island's cultural heart, home to the ornate Gaiety Theatre and the Manx Museum, which provides a deep dive into the island’s unique Viking and Celtic past. Whether you are watching the ferries come into the busy harbour or using the town as a starting point for the famous steam railway, Douglas offers a nostalgic yet vibrant gateway to the Irish Sea.
Things to do in Douglas:
Douglas Horse Tramway
Taking a ride on the Douglas Horse Tramway is a charming step back in time, offering a leisurely trip along the three mile promenade on the world’s oldest continuously operating horse drawn tram. Since 1876, these iconic vintage cars have been pulled by majestic Shire and Clydesdale horses, affectionately known as "trammers" providing a nostalgic way to enjoy the sea breeze and the town’s grand Victorian architecture. The rhythmic clip-clop of hooves and the gentle sway of the carriage create a quintessential Isle of Man experience, perfectly capturing the island's dedication to preserving its unique transport heritage.
Isle of Man Steam Railway
A visit to the Isle of Man Steam Railway is a nostalgic journey through the Manx countryside on the longest narrow-gauge steam line in the British Isles. Departing from the ornate red brick station in Douglas, you’ll settle into beautifully restored Victorian or Edwardian carriages pulled by original locomotives that have been in service since the 1870s. As the train whistles and chuffs its way south toward Castletown and Port Erin, the views shift from rolling green farmland to dramatic coastal cliffs, offering a "living museum" experience that feels completely unchanged by time.
The Tower of Refuge
The Tower of Refuge offers a view of one of Douglas Bay's most poetic landmarks, a small stone castle perched atop the treacherous Conister Rock. Built in 1832 by Sir William Hillary, the founder of the RNLI, it was designed as a literal sanctuary for shipwrecked sailors who often met their end on the reef before reaching the shore. While the tower is typically only accessible by foot during exceptionally low spring tides, its sturdy silhouette remains a constant symbol of Douglas's maritime bravery and a focal point for those walking along the promenade.

Ullapool
DAY 6
23 Aug 2026
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 6:30 PM
Ullapool is the whitewashed heart of the Northwest Highlands, where the rugged peaks of Wester Ross meet the deep waters of Loch Broom. It’s a place where the salt air of the busy ferry port mixes with the smell of fresh seafood and the sounds of live fiddle music drifting from local pubs. Whether you’re stopping for a world-class haddock wrap or using the village as a base to conquer the wild mountain trails nearby, Ullapool offers a perfect blend of small-town warmth and untamed Scottish wilderness.
Things to do in Ullapool:
Inverewe Gardens
Inverewe Garden is like stepping into a tropical dream tucked within the rugged Highlands. Thanks to the warming Gulf Stream, this botanical oasis defies the northern climate, flourishing with exotic palms, vibrant Himalayan poppies, and towering Californian redwoods. Wandering through the meticulously kept walled garden or along the coastal paths overlooking Loch Ewe, you’re surrounded by a surprising explosion of colour and scent that feels worlds away from the surrounding heather-clad hills. It is a peaceful, lush sanctuary that proves even the wildest landscapes can hold a hidden, delicate paradise.
Ardvreck Castle
Visiting Ardvreck Castle feels like stepping into a forgotten chapter of Highland history. The skeletal ruins stand defiant on a thin strip of land, surrounded by the dark, glassy waters of Loch Assynt and the brooding shadows of the Quinag mountains. As you wander through the hollowed-out tower, the only sounds are the wind whistling through the stones and the gentle lap of the water against the shore. It is a hauntingly beautiful place where the legends of clan betrayals and ghostly sirens feel entirely believable, offering a raw, quiet moment of reflection amidst the wild beauty of Assynt.
Corrieshalloch Gorge National Nature Reserve
Corrieshalloch Gorge is a breathtaking encounter with the raw power of nature. Standing on the Victorian suspension bridge, you feel a thrill of vertigo as the River Droma plunges 45 metres down the sheer cliffs of the Falls of Measach below. The air is cool and mist filled, surrounded by a lush, ancient woodland that feels hidden away from the rest of the Highlands. Walking the winding trails to the cantilevered viewing platform offers a spectacular perspective of the mile long box canyon, making it an unforgettable stop for anyone seeking a quick but dramatic hit of Scottish scenery.
