So what makes cruising with Windstar Cruises different than other cruises?  Here’s what!

Here are some of the best things to do in Killarney! After traveling to Ireland a few times now, I can safety say that Killarney National Park ( Páirc Náisiúnta Chill Airne in Irish) and its surroundings were one of my favorite parts of the country. Right up there with Dublin and the Cliffs of Moher! If you close your eyes and imagine Ireland, you probably think of rolling green fields and charming villages. Killarney certainly meets those expectations. Killarney has some of the best natural wonders in Ireland. The town sits on the shores of Lough Leane in Ireland’s southwest County Kerry, and is part of the famous “Ring Of Kerry” drive that lures many foreign tourists. Whether you’re in the mood for some Irish culture and history in Killarney Town, or prefer an outdoor adventure in Killarney National Par
