As you leave Germany on the Elbe, you will be setting a course for golfing experiences. Look forward to some very special rounds of golf in the home of the sport. You can expect some traditional golfing experiences, some of which present a very natural side to the sport. This is an experience for golfing purists, who will enjoy going back to the origins of the sport.

Wed. 29.09.2027 Galway, Ireland – Galway Bay Resort 
The Irish professional golfer Christy O’Connor Jr has created an interesting blend of classic links style and resort course right on the Atlantic west coast of Ireland. The result is a course with unusually wide fairways for a links course, paired with typical pot bunkers and small, fast greens. The geographical location means the wind will influence your game time and again.

Fri. 01.10.2027 Greencastle, Ireland – Ballyliffin Golf Club, Glashedy Links   
This Northern Irish links course has narrow fairways, typical of a links course, almost all of which are lined by little dunes on both sides. The fairways then end, on the other hand, in atypically large greens. The score will be decided, however, from the tee box, since you will need to have a good feel for the direction from the very first shots. In other words, safe shots will bring positive results.

Tue 05.10.2027 Newhaven (Edinburgh), Scotland - Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club - East Course
This very typical English golf course offers two 18-hole experiences. The traditional layout of the course creates very ‘slim’ fairways that demand a high degree of precision. The concentration required to hit the ball in the right direction means that you will remember this course as a very intense golfing experience. In addition to the narrow fairways described above, typical English sand hazards must also be played around. There are also numerous water hazards on the Championship Course. 

General information 

• In order to guarantee a comfortable flow of play for all golfers, we have determined a basic speed, which is sufficient for a playing time of 4.5 to 5 hours on foot (covering 18 holes with a trolley).
• Due to tournaments, renovations, etc. at the various golf clubs, our Golf & Cruise programme is subject to change at short notice.
• Golf & Cruise voyages allow all players with a handicap of 36 or less to play on courses all over the world. 
• Additional courses can only be booked in conjunction with the basic package.
• The reservation of e-carts cannot always be guaranteed due to local availability and weather conditions. You may, therefore, have to play and walk just with trolleys - possibly even on hilly courses. Please consider this when planning/booking your Golf & Cruise package. 
• Halfway refreshments are always ordered via the respective golf club; we have no influence on the quality of the snacks. We kindly ask for your understanding.
• When booking a Golf & Cruise package and flights through Hapag-Lloyd, we will register your golf equipment directly with the airlines – when possible and required. The current baggage regulations of the relevant airline apply. In your travel documents, which you will receive about four weeks prior to departure, you will find relevant information about this. Excess baggage fees for golf equipment are normally to be paid at check-in.
• Rental clubs for right-handed and left-handed players are available on board, subject to a surcharge.
