Mindful eating on a cruise vacation is easy when the ingredients are so pure. When it comes to food in Ireland, you need to start at the very beginning. The purity of the natural produce here has made the island one of the most talked-about food destinations in Europe, with an emphasis on artisan cheese, exceptional beef and lamb and fresh-off-the-boat seafood.
The green pastures, deep valleys and abundant waters surrounding the island have helped create outstanding natural flavours that you won’t get everywhere else. From sublime smoked salmon to the creamiest butter imaginable, Ireland’s food boasts an impeccable provenance and can be best enjoyed here – in the very place it comes from.
"Sláinte" - Good Health! - Craft Beers & Artisan Distilleries.
A good drink is as much a part of Irish culture as the music and dance that so often follow it. Wherever in Ireland you go, a pint of stout or a glass of whiskey are seen as integral to the Irish sense of good fun, and the 'craic'. And it is through this sense of good fun, that global brands like Guinness,Bailey’s & Jameson's have made themselves so famous. But there's more to Irish breweries and distilleries than just the big household names. As well as having countless pubs and bars, most Irish villages are served by a craft brewery or a local artisan distillery, many of which will be happy to show you around.
Trying the Local Food Scene
Going on vacation is not only about sightseeing but also the joy of exploring the local food scene & trying local dishes. Discover native oysters, farm cheeses, artisan chocolates, smoked meats and charcuteries. From exciting hotspots to artisan trails, foraging classes to luxury dining, the food and drink scene in Ireland is incredible. Creative and talented chefs, passionate food enthusiasts and master distillers are responsible for Ireland's rapidly growing culinary reputation.
