Cruises visiting Ballinskelligs (Ireland)

History and scenery come together in Ballinskelligs, imparting the wildest, most ancient and most mysterious of Ireland. The century-old ruins are devoured by the salt, the lush meadows bordered by low walls stretch as far as the eye can see, the golden sandy beaches and dramatic cliffs still hold the secrets of the monks who came here for refuge in the Middle Ages, as well as the stories of the fishermen who attempted to brave the Atlantic. The Skellig Islands rise in the distance, a remarkable archipelago carved by the sea spray and religion, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
