CME Cruises Visiting Dublin (Dun Laoghaire), Ireland

Dún Laoghaire, with it's splendid harbour and spectacular rolling hills, is only seven miles (12km) south of Dublin, Ireland's capital. In Dublin, you'll wander the streets trod by Joyce, Yeats and Oscar Wilde, drop in at pubs with mahogany bars and stained glass, and visit Trinity College Library, where you can see the amazing "illuminations" in the 9th-century Book of Kells. You can also tour the original Guinness Brewery to sample the freshest possible pint of world's most famous stout. And, of course, there are plenty of shopping opportunities — from a souvenir shillelagh to great vintage shops in the university district to Waterford crystal.
