Cashel Travel

Shore Excursions & Port Experiences in the UK and Ireland

We specialize in delivering exceptional shore excursions and port experiences tailored to cruise guests, ensuring memorable and seamless adventures at every destination.

Seamless onshore support

As island nations, the United Kingdom and Ireland offer an incredible diversity of port cities, island landscapes, and coastal heritage. At Cashel Travel, we specialise in delivering bespoke shore excursions and cruise tours that enhance the guest experience from the moment they disembark.
We offer seamless onshore support and destination services that showcase the very best of our islands — from bustling cities and cultural icons to the untamed beauty of remote islands like the Isle of Skye, Orkney, and Aran Islands.

Enhancing the Cruise Experience

Cruise passengers expect more than a quick city tour. Our aim is to create authentic, well-managed, and memorable onshore experiences that reflect the rich culture, history, and hospitality of each port of call.

We provide complete shore excursion management throughout the UK and Ireland — including Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland — and ensure a smooth delivery of both classic tours and unique, off-the-beaten-path adventures.

Whether your ship docks in Dublin, Greenock, Invergordon, Belfast, Holyhead, Southampton or Kirkwall, Cashel Travel can deliver experiences tailored to your passengers’ interests and cruise brand values.
