“There are no
strangers here;
Only friends you
haven’t yet met.”
– W.B. Yeats,
Irish Author and poet,
1875-1926
Ireland is a magical
destination; a country
imbued in legend and
mystery. It is romantic
yet rustic, with majestic
castles and humble
cottages, green landscapes
and spirited cities, pints of
Guinness in local pubs and
the sites of ancient ruins.
Sámas, a Gaelic word
meaning “indulgence
of the senses,” evokes the
sumptuous experience you
will have during your visit.
Your encounters in Éire
will feed your soul — an
abundance of charming
villages, peaceful pastures,
stunning cliffs and some of
the friendliest people you’ll
meet in all your travels.
