Expedition Cruise Experience

Take to the skies for access to a quintessential Kimberley attraction: the four stair-stepping tiers of Mitchell Falls. Guests will land in the National Park and hike a portion of the trail for an even closer look.

Dublin, the capital of Ireland is the fourth city of Literature. No less than four Nobel Prizes for Literature have been awarded to writers associated with the city: George Bernard Shaw, W.B. Yeats, Samuel Beckett and Seamus Heaney. Other illustrious Dublin writers of international repute include Jonathan Swift, Cardinal Newman, Oscar Wilde, Sean O’Casey, Denis Johnston, Flann O’Brien, Brendan Behan and Jennifer Johnston.

In the company of your local guide, set off from the pier and drive to Dublin city center, passing the Customs House, an 18th century neoclassical building designed by James Gandon, along the way. Stop at Trinity College to view the Book of Kells, a 9th century gospel manuscript of world renown.

Next, travel a short distance to the Museum of Literature Ireland or MoLI as it is known. The museum celebrates Ireland’s world-renowned literary culture from the past to the present, inspiring visitors of all ages to create, read and write. Drawing its core inspiration from the work of Ireland’s most famous writer, James Joyce, and named after his best-known female character, Molly Bloom, the museum features immersive multimedia exhibitions and priceless literary artefacts from the Irish state collections.

Explore MoLI’s treasure trove of artistry at your own pace before rejoining your coach and guide for your return journey to port.

Onboard both Expedition ships, we will have eight double kayaks and two six-seat submersibles. 

Kayak tours are approximately 90 minutes in length and submersible dives are approximately 40 to 45 minutes. Seabourn provides all the necessary equipment to participate in either activity. Both activities are optional and for charge. 

Because these activities do not have a set date of departure due to the flexible nature of expedition landing experiences, when searching online, these bookings populate on Day 1 of the voyage and limit capacity for throughout a voyage. As a result, not all guests will be able to kayak or go on a submersible dive on every sailing. There are also a number of itineraries where we cannot use the kayaks and subs. This is being reflected in the day-by-day itineraries on our website and with icons throughout our marketing and communications.

Combine another extraordinary wonder of the world with your visit to the Great White Continent with this 3-night pre-cruise Journey to visit both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides of the falls and enjoy a boat tour to explore the cascades from an entirely new view.  Guests will depart and arrive from Buenos Aires. Space is limited and visas may be required for some nationalities.
