The Maritime Explorer Helps Travelers Save Money on their Ireland Vacation

October 28, 2015 - Many of us have hopes of traveling during our retirement years, but ultimately the cost keeps those dreams slightly out of reach. Discover how you can visit one of the world's most sought-after destinations without bursting your budget with help from The Maritime Explorer.

As one of the world's most popular travel destinations, Ireland may seem out of budget for seniors looking to save on their travels. However, the country offers some of the most budget-friendly attractions and activities around.

For starters, Ireland is one of the cheapest places to fly to. Many of the national Irish Airlines, such as Aer Lingus, offer steeply discounted airfare during the off-season. You can save even more by flying into one of the country's less popular cities just outside of Dublin.

Once on the Emerald Isle, instead of renting a car outright – try to find car rental promo codes or special discounts on the web that can cut down the cost. Depending on your travel itinerary, you may even be able to take advantage of the city's cheap public transportation system and use either an Irish Explorer Pass or the Freedom of Northern Ireland Pass to get where you want to be.

If you're a seasoned traveler, you are well aware that hotel accommodations can quickly become one of your largest expenses. Rather than hotels, opt for hostels or look into AirBNB locations throughout the country to help you save money during your stay.

Last but not least, if you're hoping to check out Ireland's most popular state-owned sites and attractions, sign up for a Heritage Card. Seniors over the age of 60 can get discounted cards and gain free admission into some of the country's most popular attractions.
