The emerald shades of Ireland and the glossy blues of the Mediterranean have been coupled by Australian small ship cruising specialist, Cruise Traveller, in a new, fly cruise and tour package that offers a relaxed, Guinness-imbued tour of Ireland’s beautiful scenery and an even more relaxing journey by sea through the Med with boutique line, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines.

Created exclusively for Australians, Cruise Traveller’s new 26-night package in May, 2024 –‘Morocco, Spain, Italy, Ireland & England’ – includes savings for bookings made by September 30, 2023.

The trip begins on May 5, 2024, with an included flight from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth to London for a two-night, pre-cruise. Guests then take a first class rail trip to Liverpool where they will board Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ stylish, 1338-guest flagship, Bolette, for a 17-night round-trip voyage from Liverpool through the Mediterranean.

British cruise line, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, boasts smaller and more intimate ships showcasing traditional seafaring heritage and the calming pleasures of classic cruising. Cruise Traveller is the exclusive Australian representative for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines.

Able to access smaller ports bigger ships cannot reach, Bolette will take guests to Morocco, Spain, the islands of Sardinia and Corsica, the Italian towns of Sorrento and Salerno and the tiny territory of Gibraltar with its famous rock which towers above the entrance to the Mediterranean.

The voyage ends back in Liverpool where guests will fly to Dublin for a night’s stay before beginning a six-night, escorted land tour of southern Ireland for a maximum of only 18 guests. The small group adventure takes in medieval castles and ancient sites filled with folklore and whimsy, cosy Irish pubs filled with Guinness and Irish stew, the spectacular Cliffs of Moher, cobbled hamlets, the rocky island of Skellig Michael, where an abandoned 7th-century monastery lies, and the charming waterfront village of Cobh.

After a night’s stay back in Dublin after the tour, guests will be flown back to Australia.
