Independent rail and ferry trip linking Dublin and Edinburgh

Railbookers operates this independent rail package linking Dublin and Edinburgh over 6 days and 5 nights. The trip spends time in Dublin exploring the Irish capital's culture and history, with a day trip to Cork and the well known Blarney Castle. From Dublin, travelers take a ferry crossing to England, then continue by train to Edinburgh for three nights in Scotland. In Edinburgh, the trip takes in Edinburgh Castle and a day trip out to Loch Ness and the Highlands. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers move between the two capitals on their own schedule rather than following a tour director. With two nights in Dublin and three in Edinburgh, this is a two-base trip rather than a series of one-night stops, suited to travelers who want to settle into each city rather than change hotels every day. Prices start from $1,699 per person.
