AN ADVENTURE TO REMEMBER THIS SUMMER
This is an opportunity to sail on not just one vessel but two vessels! We are running a special summer programme in partnership with Atyla Foundation. With 24 young people sailing on two beautiful class B tall ships, you will have a tall ship adventure you will remember forever.
Become a trainee crew member on board Tall Ship Maybe and TS Atyla, sailing with young people from across the UK, Ireland and the rest of Europe. Learn about teamwork, leadership whilst learning skills in sailing a traditional tall ship. There will plenty of opportunities to visit some secluded and isolated towns and bays, maybe have a bonfire on the beach or cool off in the fresh ocean water. Whatever happens on this trip, you will make new friends, learn new skills and make memories that will last forever.

Passengers arriving in Dublin have a choice of two disembarkation points, depending on which ferry or cruise company is used. Dublin Port is centrally located, only minutes from the city centre.There are excellent ferry connections daily from the UK and mainland Europe, while the capital also hosts in excess of 100 cruise liners annually which is of growing popularity for visitors to include Dublin on their travel itineraries.
