About the trip
Fred. Olsen's Borealis sets sail from Liverpool for a six-night trip around Ireland’s west coast. The first stop, Cobh, famously the last port of call for the Titanic, offers a chance to stroll past colourful terraces and harbour views that hint at a long maritime history.
Galway follows, known for its cobbled streets and artisan shops. The city's blend of old harbour life and contemporary culture makes for a gentle contrast to the fresh sea air. A break here might include some of the local music or a quiet cider in a pub.
The final Irish port is Killybegs, home to one of Ireland’s largest fishing harbours. Fresh seafood is common on menus here, a reminder of the town’s working waters. The itinerary includes a day at sea, a chance to read, watch the ocean clouds or simply think over an outline of the next fishing village or city you might visit.
