Game of Thrones Tour from Cruise Ships Itinerary

This is a typical itinerary for the Game of Thrones Tour from Cruise Ships. It can be customized to suit your group’s preferences and schedule.

 

Departure from Belfast

Your tour begins at the Belfast Cruise Terminal, where you will meet your driver and guide. Tours usually leave around 8:00 am, but times may vary depending on your ship schedule.

 

Antrim Coast Road

Travel along the breathtaking Antrim Coast Road, one of the most scenic routes in the world. The road hugs the coastline, offering stunning seaside views, rugged cliffs, and unspoiled beaches. On a clear day, you may even catch a glimpse of Scotland!

 

Carnlough Harbour

Our first stop is the charming fishing village of Carnlough Harbour, featured in Season 6 of Game of Thrones. Built in the 19th century, the harbour retains its historic charm and makes for a perfect photo stop.

 

Cushendun – Storm’s End

Next, visit the dramatic Cushendun Caves, where Melisandre gave birth to the shadow baby in the series. This rugged coastal location is a fan favorite and offers incredible photographic opportunities.

 

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge

Visit the famous Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, spanning 75ft above the sea.

Please note:

  • The bridge may be closed due to weather or maintenance.

  • There is a 1-mile walk from the car park, so it may not be suitable for those with mobility issues, small children, or strollers that can’t handle unpaved paths.

  • If you prefer not to cross, there is a viewing point for photos.
