![]() The Fighting Irish are going home to Ireland.
For the first time since 1996, the annual Notre Dame-Navy showdown is heading
back to Ireland. Navy & Notre Dame last played in Dublin in 1996, a game
the Irish won 54-27. When the first overseas game between the two teams took
place in Dublin, it drew more than 40,000 fans to the game, with an estimated
10,000 fans traveling over from the United States. Book early! Book now! Thursday Aug 30- DEPART FROM HOME Your vacation begins the moment you board your flight. Destination: DUBLIN. Friday Aug 31- DUBLIN Arrive by 10AM and join our Dublin tour. Visit Trinity College Library, containing the famous Book of Kells. See the Bank of Ireland - Ireland's first Parliament, St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Georgian doors of Dublin. Visit the Guinness Brewery, where you will taste the famous stout. Welcome dinner this evening. (D) Saturday Sep 1 THE GAME NOTRE DAME
FIGHTING IRISH vs NAVY MIDSHIPMEN The football game will be held in Dublin's
new Aviva Stadium, a four level state-of-the-art facility with all 50,000 seats
under cover. This new stadium is located in a scenic residential area just
outside of Dublin city center. The intimate Aviva Stadium is also much smaller
than the U.S. stadiums the schools typically play at - offering an experience
unlike any other state-side. The novelty of the game, coupled with Aviva
Stadiums relatively small seating capacity (50,000) should make this a
very difficult ticket for travellers and locals alike. Navy-Notre Dame To Kick
At 2:00 PM Dublin Time. (B) Sunday Sep 2 -KILKENNY Enjoy the relaxed pace of Ireland,
known for its bogs and turf fires, rich farmlands and scenic countryside.

Madrigal singers, and musicians bring the era to life.(B) Optional Upgrade: Stay at
Dromoland Castle. Dromoland Castle is a spectacular place to spend either your
last night's stay if you are flying into or out of Shannon Airport. Dromoland
was the ancestral home of the Lords Inchiquin, direct descendants of Brian
Boru, high king of Ireland. It is one of the finest examples of a baronial
residence. Up the grand staircase are found the hotel's premier rooms and
luxurious suites and a portrait gallery of past incumbents of the estate.
Jacket and tie for gentlemen are required after 7pm in the elegant, formal
dining room and the book lined bar where guests often settle after dinner to
join in the singing of popular Irish ballads. Fishing, horse riding, and bird
shooting can be arranged nearby. The golf course meanders around the castle and
is a challenging par 71 measuring over 6500 yards. The Egon Ronay guide named
the dining room as the best restaurant in Ireland. Thursday Sep 6- HOMEWARD The tour ends with a transfer to Shannon Airport. (B) Transfers and hotels available to Dublin available at added cost. Notre Dame Navy in Ireland One Week Tour of Ireland includes:
