DUN LAOGHAIRE, DUBLIN → COPENHAGEN

18 Nights on Star Explorer

Much like the Irish blessing, the road, fjords and emerald scenery rise up to meet you throughout this cruise to historic Northern European ports, emerald-topped cliffs and unspoiled Norwegian fjords during visits throughout Ireland, the Isle of Man, Scotland, Norway, and Denmark. Sip a rich and frothy stout and take in Dublin’s skyline from the Gravity Bar. Float past lonely Scottish castles, serrated coastal cliffs and seemingly endless windswept heaths. Spiral skyward in the hoofsteps of royalty inside Copenhagen’s Rundetaarn, a 17th century observatory built for horses and carriages and host to horseback rulers like Czar Peter the Great.

Londonderry, Glenveagh National Park by E-Bike

After departing from the pier, you will settle in for a leisurely 75-minute trip into the heart of the Derryveagh Mountains. This is one of the most beautiful, least populated areas in Ireland with a picture-postcard setting around every turn. Upon entering Glenveagh National Park , you will receive a safety briefing and then hop on an electric bike and pedal off into the wilds. The bikes have an electric motor for extra power when needed, so it's easier to make your way up and down the hilly terrain. Other than the Park's shuttle bus, vehicles are not allowed beyond the car park, which makes your cycling experience very safe and pleasant. The park sprawls over 40,000 acres of mountains, lakes and glens, all of it pristine and full of wildlife. You may catch sight of a herd of red deer bounding through the park, as they have been in Ireland since the last Ice Age and thrive here. You can bike to the waterfall at the head of the glen. The park contains about 247 acres of natural and semi-natural woodland. As you continue your travels you're sure to be surrounded by oak, birch, hazel, yew and aspen trees towering over lush green carpets of mosses and ferns. Have your camera handy. In addition to the red deer, peregrine falcons and an occasional golden eagle call this park their home so be on the lookout. Bird lovers should listen for the wood warbler, a rare bird in Ireland but annual visitor to Glenveagh with a unique call, which sounds like a coin spinning on a plate. The park was once the estate of John Adair, a wealthy 19th century landowner. He began building a storybook castle in 1867, designed to look like a medieval fortress, complete with a parapet and a 4-story rectangular keep. The castle's gardens are exquisite and worth discovering. Afterwards, you will rejoin your minibus and travel back to the pier. Please note: Wear warm comfortable, waterproof clothing, and flat shoes. Bring your camera. Admission to the Castle & Gardens is not included.

Arriving in the original city of Derry, you will walk along the top of the towering 26-foot-high walls, which were built in between 1613 and 1618 and remain among the best-preserved fortified walls in Europe. From this vantage point, you can easily make out Londonderrry's medieval city plan, with the principal streets radiating from the center to the old gateways. Another point of interest is Guildhall, a late Gothic administrative building with 23 stained-glass windows that depict guilds for carpenters, musicians and others.

While you tour, the organist will play the Irish favorite "Londonderry Air," familiar to some as "Danny Boy."** It's a fine prelude to visiting the cathedral's Chapter House Museum, which holds rare artifacts such as the huge padlocks to Derry's original gates. Later, at a local pub , you will celebrate the day with a drink before heading out on your own to explore further. You are sure to see plenty of reminders of the city's past and perhaps the neo-classical courthouse and shopping opportunities exist nearby. After about an hour, you will rejoin your coach and travel back to the pier.

The pleasant small village of Olden is located at the inner end of the 66-mile long Nordfjord, the sixth longest fjord in Norway.   Long known for tourism and industry, it is now also famous for contemporary design.  With fewer than 500 inhabitants Olden is an ideal destination for people who enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, and is the gateway to Jostedal, the largest glacier on the European mainland. If you can, find a bottle of Olden Mineral Water, as close as you will get to a glacier on tap.

Olden, Briksdal Glacier by Troll Cars

The village of Olden is situated at the end of the innermost arm of lovely Nordfjord, which cuts its way inland to the mighty ice fields of the Jostedals Glacier, Europe's largest glacier. Briksdal Glacier, your destination on this tour, is one of its arms. Leaving Olden's center by coach with your guide, you will pass two picturesque churches and the beautiful lakes Floren and Olden. At the end of the valley lies Rustøen, around which numerous waterfalls tumble from the ice field. The road ascends through woodlands to the Briksdalen Inn, where you will leave the coach. The powerful Briksdal Glacier is a part of the Jostedal Glacier National Park. The wild glacier swoops down from a height of 3,927 feet to the lush, narrow Briksdal Valley. When you arrive at Briksdal Fjellstove the "Troll cars" will be waiting to take you safely to where the road ends - at the famous glacier. It's a fantastic trip on a narrow road that crosses the foaming glacier stream twice. You will return to Briksdal Fjellstove which has been the meeting place for hill walkers and mountaineers in Briksdalen for several generations. Here you will be served some coffee/tea and cake before your return by bus to Olden and the ship. Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress in warm layers. Guests will walk approximately 15 minutes to reach the glacier once they’re out of the Troll Car.

Bergen, A Taste of Hardanger

This is as close as you'll get to a Norwegian icon the Queen of Fjords - Hardanger Fjord. This sightseeing drive offers you the chance to see more of the beautiful Norwegian countryside travelling along the true attraction, Hardangerfjord, to an idyllic cider farm tucked away in picturesque landscape. Leaving the city and its residential areas, drive along the scenic Samnangerfjord passing small villages and farmlands on the way. Commence the climb up to the mountainous region of Kvamskogen, a popular winter sports area for people from Bergen. You will make a photo stop at Brattefossen before descending to the Hardangerfjord region and the Steinsdals Waterfall. Take a stroll up the trail, where you can walk under the waterfall to a viewpoint overlooking Norheimsund and Steins Valley. Continuing past the quaint village of Norheimsund you eventually arrive at Spildegården Fruit Farm. This farm is located along the most spectacular fjord branch in Norway, Hardangerfjord. Here you will enjoy the peaceful and idyllic scenery surrounding the farm. For four generations this family has grown fruits and berries, and nowadays they also process and preserve some of their own products. Visiting Spildegården you will experience how the farm is run today through an informative and light-hearted presentation explaining the full process, from berries to quality products. Enjoy lunch made by flavorful local ingredients harmonized with ciders from the farm. On your return drive to Bergen witness more spectacular views of valleys, waterfalls and mountain ranges. Please note: It is recommended to dress in layered clothing and wear comfortable walking shoes. This tour involves uneven ground and an optional trail with a gradual slope and steps.
