Cruising Into Belfast? Discover the Best Shore Excursions with Belfast Causeway Tours

Welcome to Northern Ireland – where breathtaking coastlines, ancient castles, and legendary landscapes await.


Earlier this season, we had the immense pleasure of hosting guests from the Regal Princess cruise ship for an unforgettable day exploring the iconic sights of the North Antrim Coast. From the moment the ship docked at the Belfast Cruise Ship Terminal, our guests—Deborah & Stephen Smart, Carole & John Wilkinson, and Susan & Chris Nemets—were whisked away on a luxurious private tour led by our expert driver-guide, Marty.





Their full-day tour offers a perfect example of what awaits you on our Giants Causeway Tours and Cruise Ship Shore Excursions.


Highlights from Our Regal Princess Shore Excursion

Here’s a look at the incredible stops we covered:

  • Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge – While the bridge was closed for crossing, our guests enjoyed the stunning cliffside views of the Atlantic and Rathlin Island.

  • Ballintoy Harbour – A peaceful harbour and famous Game of Thrones filming location.

  • Whitepark Bay – A pristine stretch of beach framed by rolling hills and wild Atlantic waves.

  • Dunseverick Castle Ruins – Hidden on the cliffs, steeped in myth and offering panoramic ocean views.

  • Giant’s Causeway – Our crown jewel. A UNESCO World Heritage Site with over 40,000 basalt columns.

  • Dunluce Castle – A dramatic medieval ruin on a cliff edge, perfect for photos.

  • Bushmills Village & Old Bushmills Distillery – The world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery.

  • The Dark Hedges – An atmospheric tunnel of trees made famous by Game of Thrones.

  • Titanic Quarter in Belfast – Featuring Titanic Belfast Museum, SS Nomadic, Harland & Wolff Cranes, and more.
