Ireland Vacations

Ireland Vacations: Landscapes, Legends, and Luxury

Ireland is a land where every stone has a story and every stranger is a friend you haven't met yet. At Travel by Cassie, we go beyond the typical "bus tour" to create bespoke journeys through the Emerald Isle. Whether you are tracing your family heritage or seeking a world-class golf retreat, we design Ireland itineraries that are as soulful as they are sophisticated.

Why Discover Ireland with Travel by Cassie?

As a luxury specialist based in Brunswick, Ohio, I understand that an Irish vacation is often a "bucket-list" event. I leverage my personal connections with local skippers, private drivers, and castle estates to ensure your trip is seamless.

• Private Driver-Guides: Experience the Wild Atlantic Way without the stress of narrow roads. Our private guides offer "un-Googleable" history and local secrets.

• Ancestry Travel 2026: We partner with professional genealogists to help you walk the actual streets and visit the homesteads where your ancestors began their journey.

• Exclusive Access: From private whiskey tastings at Ballykeefe Distillery to after-hours tours of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, we open doors that remain closed to the general public.

Iconic Irish Experiences

Castle Stays: Live Like Royalty

Ireland’s history is best experienced from within its stone walls. We specialize in booking the "Big Three" of Irish luxury:

• Dromoland Castle: A 16th-century masterpiece in County Clare offering falconry, championship golf, and horse-drawn carriage tours.  

• Adare Manor: Recently named Europe's top resort, featuring a Michelin-star restaurant and the world-renowned Tom Fazio-designed golf course.  

• Ashford Castle: The former home of the Guinness family, providing an unparalleled blend of old-world grandeur and modern spa luxury.

The Wild Atlantic Way & The West: Stretching 1,600 miles along the rugged coast, this is the soul of Ireland. We curate stops at the Cliffs of Moher, the limestone moonscapes of The Burren, and the vibrant, musical streets of Galway.  

Dingle Peninsula: Skip the Ring of Kerry crowds for the more intimate, breathtaking views of Dingle, where the Gaelic language and ancient traditions still thrive.

World-Class Golfing: Ireland is a pilgrimage site for golfers.  Play legendary courses like Royal County Down, Ballybunion, and the dramatic Old Head Golf Links, which sits on a diamond-shaped headland jutting into the Atlantic.

For Northeast Ohio travelers, we can book direct airfare from Cleveland (CLE) via Aer Lingus which make getting to Dublin easy and convenient!
