Spring has sprung in Ireland, but unless you are jetting off to the Emerald Isle tonight or tomorrow then you likely won’t get the chance to spend St. Patrick’s’ Day there.
Buck up, there’s no need to cry in your corned beef and cabbage. After all, several tour companies are still offering travel deals to the popular European destination with late spring and early summer departures. Which means you still have time to make plans to indulge in the perfect pint of Guinness across the pond for a great price.
For less than $800 you can take in the beauty and charm of Ireland with Virgin Vacations “Fly & Drive” special. The deal starts at $779 and departs between March 31 and April 29. The price includes roundtrip airfare from New York to Dublin and a seven-day Hertz car rental with unlimited mileage. Later departures, between May 16 and June 30, come with a $1,200 price tag.
If you are willing to shell out $1,990 you can take an escorted tour of the Emerald Isle. Lynott Tours is offering an eight-day package with late spring departures. This cost covers airfare from New York, first-class lodging, daily breakfast and dinner, all transfers, and a variety of tours and activities. Highlights include a medieval banquet in a 15th-century castle, a horse-drawn ride in Killarney, and visits to Cliffs of Moher, Blarney Castle and Waterford Crystal Factory.
Finally, for $2,299 you can get the royal treatment in Ireland with Brian Moore International Tours. The deluxe package features an eight-night sojourn to Ireland’s castles and manors during the peak summer season. The price covers lodging at superior and deluxe manor or castle hotels with daily Irish breakfasts, eight dinners, and a variety of sightseeing tours, with entrance fees. Some of the attractions you’ll take in include Killarney National Park, Dingle Peninsula, Blarney, Kilkenny Castle, Dublin’s Trinity College, Cliffs of Moher, Galway, and Connemara.
