Europe and Mediterranean: Ireland Intensive Voyage

Azamara

In the early 1900's Belfast had the world's largest shipyard; now the city and riverfront are undergoing a transformation, but many Victorian and Edwardian buildings still sport the carved heads of royalty. On the banks of the River Eske in the shadow of the Blue Stack Mountains lies Donegal, an authentically Irish village where great chieftains once ruled the countryside. With its storied history, brightly colored shops, excellent bars and restaurants, traditional music sessions, and over 122 festivals and events each year, Galway may be Ireland's most enchanting city.

Overview

 
select to open Dublin pictures - Opens a dialog

Dublin is the capital of Ireland, and Irish culture and cuisine. The regional and microbreweries that once flourished, although crowded out of business for the last hundred or so years by Guinness, more for its marketing and transportation triumphs than necessarily for qualitative reasons, are coming back to add local color and variety to the famous old Irish pubs. Ireland has produced some of the world’s greatest writers, and in its traditional folk ballads and rich melodies, you can hear the unique elements that form the roots of modern rhythm and blues music.

Day 2 Port of Call Douglas Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 6:00p.m.

Day 6 Port of Call Galway Arrival 9:00a.m. Departure 8:00p.m.

Overview

 
select to open Galway pictures - Opens a dialog

Ask an Irishman to recommend his favorite Irish city, and you're likely to hear, "Without a doubt, Galway." As one of Europe's fastest-growing cities, with a population of 61,000, Galway is a major city by Irish standards, yet it still manages to retain much of the accessibility and congeniality of a small town. Galway is perhaps the most prosperous city in Ireland and arguably the most immediately appealing. As the home to many artists, writers, and artisans, and because it has a proliferation of art galleries and is the home to a lively arts scene, Galway has earned the reputation of the unofficial arts capital of Ireland. The excellent Galway Arts Festival, held every summer, is perhaps the most accessible and friendly culture fest in Europe. But while Galway attracts droves of outsiders, it does so without alienating its long-standing population. The result is a city that feels lived-in--a real place that, at the same time, accommodates (and charms) masses of visitors. Galway City is billed as the "Gateway to the West," and that's exactly what it is--a welcoming, colorful doorway through which you pass on your way to the gigantic, melancholy solitude of Connemara and the western Gaeltacht. The city has a blessed location, tucked between the Atlantic and the grand expanse of Lough Corrib, which spreads out over 176 sq. km (68 sq. miles) and holds some of the world's best fishing. With 365 islands, the lake is said to have an island for every day of the year. Like most ancient cities, Galway was founded because of its strategic access to water. It began as a fishing village, but after an invasion by the Anglo-Norman forces of Richard de Burgo in the early 13th century, Galway developed into a walled town. Elevation to city status followed with the granting of a royal charter by Richard III in 1484. Around this time, 14 wealthy merchant families ruled the city, giving Galway the nickname it still bears today--"City of Tribes." These families, mostly of Welsh and Norman origin, ruled the town as an oligarchy, and you still see storefronts and businesses bearing these names today: Athy, Blake, Bodkin, Browne, Darcy, Deane, Font, Ffrench, Joyce, Kirwan, Lynch, Martin, Morris, and Skerret. By far the most important name in medieval times was Lynch, whose clan gave the city not only its first mayor, in 1484 but 83 other mayors during the next 169 years. In the center of town, on Shop Street, is Lynch's Castle, dating from 1490 and renovated in the 19th century. It's the oldest Irish medieval townhouse used daily for commercial purposes (it's now a branch of the Allied Irish Bank). The exterior is full of carved gargoyles, impressive coats of arms, and other decorative stonework. Walk northwest 1 block to Market Street, and you'll see the Lynch Memorial Window embedded in a wall above a built-up Gothic doorway. It commemorates the 16th-century Mayor James Lynch FitzStephen, who condemned his son to death for the murder of a Spanish merchant. After finding no one to carry out the deed, he acted as executioner. He later retreated into seclusion, brokenhearted. During the 170-year heyday of the tribes, Galway grew wealthy and cosmopolitan, with particularly strong trade links to Spain. Close to the city docks, you can still see the area where Spanish merchants unloaded cargo from their galleons. The Spanish Arch was one of four arches built in 1594, and the Spanish Parade is a small open square where visitors strolled in the evening. Local legend has it that Christopher Columbus attended mass at Galway's St. Nicholas Collegiate Church before setting sail for the New World in 1477. Originally built in 1320, the church has been enlarged, rebuilt, and embellished over the years. It has also changed denominations at least four times. The hub of the city is a pedestrian park at Eyre Square (pronounced Air Square), officially called the John F. Kennedy Park in commemoration of his visit here in June 1963, just months before his assassination. A bust of JFK shares space in the park with a statue of a man sitting on a limestone wall--a depiction of Galway-born local hero Padraig O'Conaire, a pioneer in the Irish literary revival of the early 20th century and the epitome of a Galway Renaissance man. From Eyre Square, it's a minute's walk to the medieval quarter and its festive, Left Bank atmosphere. What makes Galway particularly engaging is that this bohemian facet coexists so infectiously with the city's history. Despite Galway's population boom, the city core remains astonishingly similar to how it was in the Middle Ages. InAtreet map from the 1700s would still get you around today! All in all, Galway is a city bursting with life. Music is everywhere--wafting from pub entryways, lilting from the street musicians on seemingly every corner, and humming from milkmen on their rounds (yes, bottled milk is still delivered door-to-door here). Chances are that your only regret in visiting Galway will be not being able to stay longer.

Day 7 Port of Call Foynes Arrival 7:00a.m. Departure 8:00p.m.

Overview

 
select to open Bantry pictures - Opens a dialog

Bantry is a busy, bustling Irish market town at the head of the famous and beautiful Bantry Bay, in the far southwest of Ireland. Bantry is at the heart of West Cork, one of the most naturally beautiful and unspoiled areas of Ireland, full of beautiful bays and beaches, spectacular hills, and welcoming hostelries. For the best in Irish walking, cycling, and fishing, or for just relaxing in convivial company, Bantry and the south-west of Ireland offer everything you could want, and maybe a half-pint more! Between Mizen and the Beara, from the Sheep’s Head Light to Bondi Beach, this is the site for anything and everything to do with Bantry and Bantry people.

Day 9 Port of Call Cobh Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 10:00p.m.

Overview

 
select to open Cobh pictures - Opens a dialog

Queenstown it was for some decades before reverting to its old Irish name in 1922 - the Cobh (cove) of Cork. Is there anywhere in Ireland more full of poignant memories than this embarkation point for America? From here hundreds of thousands of mostly hungry and penniless Irish men and women left to build a new life, especially in the Famine years of 1844-48. Many thrived and prospered, but many died on the journey in the terrible traveling conditions of the time. It is a pleasant town; its streets climb the steep slope of a hill, the top of which is crowned by the very fine St. Coleman's Cathedral which has a carillon of 47 bells. Cobh is situated on Great Island, one of the three large islands in Cork harbor which are all now joined by roads and bridges - Little Island and Fota are the others. The harbor is one of the largest and safest anywhere, being capable of taking the largest vessels afloat. The great Transatlantic liners used to come up to the 1950s.On the quayside, there is a memorial to the victims of the Lusitania, many of whom are buried in the old church cemetery. The ship was sunk off Kinsale in 1915 by a German submarine, an action which was responsible for bringing the United States of America into the Great War, the survivors were brought back here. Another unhappy association is with the Titanic, 'the safest liner in the world'. Queenstown was her last port of call on her fateful maiden voyage. The Queenstown Story is based on the disused portions of the railway station at Cobh. This highly imaginative visitor attraction tells the story of emigration from Cobh in the period of the famine in 1845 up to the era of the great Liners in the 1950s. The historical role that Cobh harbor has played as a port is also illustrated. At Cobh, one looks over Haulbowline and Spike Islands, formerly the base of the Irish Naval Service. To the east, Cork Harbour leads to East Ferry. Roches Point can be seen to the south. To the southwest is the yachting center of Crosshaven.
