Ireland is nicknamed the Emerald Isle for good reason: rolling green hills abound, in all shades possible. You might not see St. Pat, but you can get a good look at those hills on a luxury train ride that crisscrosses the countryside.

The week-long tour includes time to explore Dublin and attractions such as Trinity College, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the lively Temple Bar District.

Participants then board the Grand Hibernian for a train trip through the heart of the nation and along its rugged Atlantic coastline.
