CRF travel series going back to Ireland
The Cleo Redd Fisher Museum announced the next destination in the CRF travel series will take participants to explore the northern half of Ireland.
The trip, scheduled for July 22-28, complements last year’s offering that took travelers to explore the southern half of the island. The travel series has been a popular addition to the museum’s offerings, providing travelers the ability to explore history and discover new cultures in a small group setting without the hassle of making any arrangements. Past expeditions have included Germany, Austria, Ireland and Cuba — with most trips selling out quickly. Museum curator Kenny Libben said the best way to stay informed of upcoming opportunities is to become a member of the museum as members receive first notice and opportunities to sign up.
This year’s trip will take travelers to historic cities such as Dublin, Belfast and Derry/Londonderry, with plenty of other stops along the way including Downpatrick — where St. Patrick is said to be laid to rest — and to the UNESCO world heritage site of the Giant’s Causeway. Other highlights include the Titanic experience, working with sheepdogs, Glenveagh National Park, Donegal, Enniskillen, ferry rides, Devenish Island and more as the group traverses through both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The small group tour has packages starting at $2,500 per person, which includes all transportation, lodging, admission and tour guides while in the country. The tour package does not include airfare but does allow travelers to take advantage of the direct flights from Cleveland to Dublin, which are only available for a limited time. Those wanting to extend their stay to explore more of Ireland are welcome to do so.
