| Dublin, Ireland » |
|
6:00 PM |
| The Irish capital, Dublin, enjoys one of the loveliest settings in Europe.
Craggy Howth Head shelters the natural harbor at Dublin Bay and the gurgling
River Liffey flows through the center of town. The ancient Egyptians, as well
as Norman and Viking warriors, visited Dublin. However, the city's most
pervasive surviving influences come from the 18th and 19th centuries when
elegant Georgian mansions were first built along the river and then outward
from its shores. The arts also flourished during this period and Dublin served
as the birthplace of some of our greatest literary figures such as Oscar Wilde,
George Bernard Shaw and James Joyce to name only a few. |

| Belfast, Ireland » |
8:00 AM |
6:00 PM |
| Having the gift of understatement and optimism, the Irish call their
decades-long civil strife "the Troubles." Happily, the Troubles have
settled down, making enjoyable visits to Northern Ireland, most notably
Belfast, no trouble at all. |
|
|
| Merely a village in the 17th century, Belfast grew by leaps and bounds
during the Industrial Revolution. The manufacture of linen and ships (Belfast
has the world's largest dry dock) brought not only prosperity to the city, but
beauty. Ornate Victorian homes and grand Edwardian civic buildings line the
streets. The city also has many quaint lanes populated by pubs and boutiques
dressed with overflowing window boxes and brightly painted doors. |
|
|
| While there is much to detain you in lovely Belfast, you might want to take
the quick trip over the lough, or small bay, to Carrickfergus Castle, the
best-preserved Norman castle in Ireland. |

|
| Holyhead, Wales » |
8:00 AM |
6:00 PM |
| Located in the northwest of Wales on Holy Island, Holyhead might be
considered a remote locale. But connecting it to the mainland is the Four Mile
Bridge and a causeway, which in turn carries both the A5 road and local rail
line. Such routes easily transport travelers to the charming half-timbered town
of Chester and to Britain’s primary city, London. |
|
|
| Yet there is much in Holyhead to keep visitors happily engaged right here.
At the heart of Holyhead is St. Cybi’s Church, situated inside one of
Europe’s only three-walled Roman forts. Indeed, local history stretches
back to Roman times and before, with area settlements dating to prehistoric
times. Maritime history is revealed in a museum where visitors can learn about
the 100 or so shipwrecks that have occurred in the vicinity. Those who are
feeling particularly energetic might make the trek to the South Stack
Lighthouse, which stands guard over an area popular with birdwatchers. |

| Liverpool, England » |
8:00 AM |
6:00 PM |
| Liverpool grew to greatness in the 18th century, as the riches of the
Americas and the West Indies flowed through its docks and marketplaces. (At one
point it even had more dock space than London.) Enjoy the Town Hall built in
those flourishing years, the Walker Art Gallery, or the delights of the
restored Albert Dock, with its classy shops and maritime museum. |

| Cork, Ireland » |
8:00 AM |
5:00 PM |
| Cork was first founded by Viking raiders, attracted by its superb bay-among
the best natural harbors in Europe-and its mild climate, due to warm ocean
currents. Today Cork remains a superbly authentic corner of Ireland, with a
strong seafaring tradition and one of the first yachting clubs in the world.

|
|
| Portland, England » |
9:00 AM |
8:00 PM |
| In some ways, the “Isle” of Portland is a misnomer. Measuring
about four miles long by one-and-a-half miles wide, the small land mass located
in the English Channel is limestone tied, connected to the mainland by both a
beach and bridge. |
|
|
| Discussions of whether Portland qualifies as an island aside, there is no
doubt as to its historic significance. Part of the Jurassic Coast, Portland is
a World Heritage Site, so designated for its geology and landforms. Important
manmade forms include Portland Castle, built by King Henry the VIII in 1539.
The structure remains one of the best preserved castles of the period.
Portland’s famous white limestone, meanwhile, has found its way to London,
with iconic buildings such as St. Paul’s Cathedral and the eastern front
of Buckingham Palace constructed with the Portland limestone Sir Christopher
Wren used to rebuild London after the Great Fire of 1666. |

| Guernsey/St. Peter Port, Channel Islands » |
8:00 AM |
5:00 PM |
| Charming Guernsey, a mere 25 square miles in size, offers a host of
enticing visitor attractions. Although geographically closer to France, it has
remained staunchly British through the ages. Today, its diverse culture
reflects the best of both worlds. Pastel-colored houses rise layer upon layer
behind St. Peter Port, the island's picturesque main town. Beyond, you discover
a wealth of activities centering around goldsmiths, silversmiths, wood carvers
and clockmakers. Important: Please Read before Booking the Following Tours:
Although the best available equipment has been requested, guests should be
aware that transport may not be of international standard. Motor coaches are
not air-conditioned. Your understanding is appreciated. Guernsey Island
