Itinerary

Day 1: Overnight Flight

Find your seat, pick a movie, and then try to get a wee bit of shuteye. The majesty and raw beauty of Ireland awaits.

Day 2: Arrive in Dublin + Welcome Dinner

Welcome to Dublin, the capital of Ireland! Once you arrive and drop your bags off at the accommodation, take a stroll to St. Stephen’s Green, Grafton Street, and Temple bar, where pub culture, literary history, and all-around charm await.

In the evening, it's time for our Welcome Dinner and Event.  Every great trip deserves a great beginning—and that's exactly what the Welcome Dinner and Event delivers. Hosted by your new bestie, your Tour Director, this kickoff moment is all about meeting your fellow travelers, learning their names, swapping stories, and easing into the adventure ahead. It's casual, fun, and the first step in turning a group of strangers into something more. Because at Ultimate Break, we believe memories are best made together.

Today’s highlights
  • Land at the airport and meet a waiting EF representative.
  • Transfer to your hotel to check in and check out your room.
  • Get familiar with the area around your hotel with an introductory walk with your Tour Director.
