June 27 July 05, 2024
Windstar Cruises Star Legend 9 days from Edinburgh, Scotland to Dublin, Ireland
Find Magic in Scotland and Ireland with women of Olivia. From the castles of Edinburgh to the pubs of Dublin, journey through hills and highlands, idyllic islands, and lyrical landscapes. Here in the land of good Scotch and great golf, astonishing natural beauty meets refined elegance in beautiful ports and exclusive marinas. Celebrate the region’s iconic past and lively present and toast the spirit of the Emerald Isle on this 8-night luxury all-lesbian cruise through Scotland and Ireland.
Picture yourself in Scotland's Highlands, perched atop a medieval castle, staring out at emerald green hills rolling to the sea, wisps of blue-gray clouds hovering overhead, spaced out far enough for the summer sun to warm your skin. Race a motor-bike on the Isle of Man, or visit the Glenmorangie Distillery in Invergordon. Whatever you fancy, whether it's learning the haunting history of Edinburgh, whale watching in the North Channel or visiting Trinity College for a glimpse of the Book of Kells in Dublin, you can make it happen on board Windstar's Star Legend cruise with 320 of your new Olivia friends. What could be better?
Your Ship - WindStar's MS Star Legend
With only 312 guests, you begin to feel like Windstar’s Star Legend is your own private yacht almost as soon as you step aboard. The sitting area of your spacious, newly refurbished suite gives you an expansive ocean view—making it a welcome retreat. When you're ready to make an appearance, the lounges, club, and library are waiting to be explored. Take some "you" time in the tranquil World Spa by Windstar—enjoy a dip in the pool or the Fitness Center—and, of course, you are always welcome to visit the Bridge.
