Cork (Cobh), Ireland
Sitting pretty in southwest Ireland in Cork Harbor, one of the world’s largest natural harbors, Cork enjoys a rich maritime heritage. Founded in the sixth century as a monastic settlement, Cork was expanded by the Vikings and granted a charter in 1185 by Prince John. Also called "the Rebel City" for its support of the Yorkist cause during the Wars of the Roses, there is much to see and do both in and around the city. Cork is recognized for its St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral, a nineteenth-century Gothic-style cathedral with stained-glass windows, stone carvings, and tower that offers panoramic views of the city. The English Market, selling its wares since 1788, is one of the oldest and most historically rich covered markets in Europe, offering both local and international delicacies. Cork is your gateway abundant castles, most notably the Blarney Castle, home to the infamous Blarney Stone and the Rock of Cashel, also known as “High Kings of Tipperary” as it was the historical seat where the High Kings of that region were crowned and held court. The High Kings of Tipperary boasts thousand-year-old structures, including a round tower, Romanesque chapel, and Gothic cathedral. Whiskey lovers can also visit the Jameson Midelton Distillery and Museum in nearby Midleton, set on over 15 acres, to see the world’s largest pot still and experience premium whiskey tasting.

I believe if someone has ever tried travelling with SeaDream at least once he will want to do it gain. John S.Texas
Fabulous yacht, magnificent food, great people, superb service, I can think of a few more adjectives, but to summarize – save and go on it – probably the best vacation I ever went on. Ian C.California
I hate Commercial Cruises. So I reluctantly signed up for a SeaDream, and after a week on the boat, I could not think of one thing that was not done to perfection. The food was great, the staff was spectacular, and having only 50 couples made this a private yacht cruise. I have signed up for my second cruise, and probably will only Yacht with SeaDream in my future. Pat M.Florida
