VOYAGE DESCRIPTION
This voyage begins in Brest, a French city with proud maritime roots, and follows a northward route past the Scilly Isles across the Irish Sea to Dublin.

As we leave the coast of Brittany, guests are invited to take part in sailing the Santa Maria Manuela: helping to hoist the sails, taking the helm, or learning navigation skills from the crew. With the wind setting the pace, there’s time for hands-on learning, reflection, and shared moments with fellow travelers.

Sailing into Dublin is a memorable experience. The city’s rich seafaring heritage reveals itself against a backdrop of Georgian buildings and a lively, working port. As we sail up the River Liffey, you’ll be welcomed ashore by the warmth and spirit of Gaelic hospitality. Traditional Irish music drifts from pubs across the city, offering a taste of the country’s soulful culture. Beyond Dublin, green rolling hills stretch into the distance—a timeless symbol of Ireland’s beauty and poetic heart.
