Cleo Redd Fisher Museum schedules July trip to northern part of Ireland
LOUDONVILLE − The Cleo Redd Fisher Museum next destination in its CRF Travel series will take participants to explore the northern half of Ireland.
The trip complements last year’s offering that took travelers to explore the southern half of the island.
The travel series has been a popular addition to the museum’s offerings, providing travelers the ability to explore history and discover new cultures in a small group setting without the hassle of making any arrangements.
Past expeditions have included Germany, Austria, Ireland, and Cuba.
Curator Kenny Libben noted the best way to stay informed of opportunities is to become a member of the museum as members receive first notice and opportunities to sign up.
This year’s offering takes travelers to historic cities such as Dublin, Belfast and Derry/Londonderry with plenty of other stops along the way, including Downpatrick where St. Patrick is said to be laid to rest, and to the UNESCO world heritage site of the Giant’s Causeway.
Other highlights include the Titanic experience, working with sheepdogs, Glenveagh National Park, Donegal, Enniskillen, ferry rides, Devenish Island and much more as the group traverses through both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (UK).
The small group tour is scheduled for July 22-28 with packages starting at $2,500 per person and including transportation, lodging, admission and tour guides. The tour package does not include airfare but does allow travelers to take advantage of the direct flights from Cleveland to Dublin, which are only available for a limited time.
Those wanting to extend their stay are welcome to do so. Interested persons can visit www.crfmuseum.com/travel and select the “North Ireland 2024” tour for a full description, itinerary, travel guide and directions on how to sign up.
