Star Collector: Irish Stout to Bordeaux Wine: A Tour of Ireland & France
Irish dancing, twinkling Parisian lights, and subline French wines enhance your tasteful cultural immersion throughout this sailing around Ireland and along the French coastline. Explore Ireland's Inishowen Peninsula, a natural encapsulation of Emerald Isle habitats, and wander sandy coastal reaches and cobbled village lanes prior to tea and local treats at a village beyond Londonderry. Take a stroll around St. Mary's quay to the formidable Star Castle, a 1593 fortification built to reinforce England. Spend two exceptional days in Paris visiting the Louvre Museum, Versailles, and Notre-Dame perched atop the Île de la Cité--the original Parisian settlement of Franks and Romans--during your extended port stay at Rouen. Venture inland from the coastal town of Lorient for Breton tea time with the Duchess of Rohan amid Josselin Castle's tasteful elegance. Unwind over exceptional glasses of blended red wines and fine French cuisine during an overnight Bordeaux port stay after sailing up the Garonne River.

Star Legend
Star Legend is large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbors and hidden coves that others can’t reach.
