I’ve searched the web so you don’t have to! My best travel deals from Ireland include summer holidays, city breaks, winter breaks, cruises, and staycations for couples and families.
This week’s Best Travel Deals from Ireland include a last minute holiday to Lido di Jesolo near Venice, short breaks in Sardinia and Lisbon, a winter break in Lanzarote, a Princess cruise, family holidays for next year, and staycations in Kerry and Wexford.
Best last minute: Flights to Venice for €60!
Anyone for Venice? Choose a city break or a beach break, with return flights from just €60 on the 1st of September, there has never been a better time to visit.
There are many hotel options to choose from but I have selected the 4-star Brioni Mare. It is superbly located in the centre of Lido di Jesolo and boasts its own private beach just two minutes walk away. Breakfast is included throughout your stay as well as a pick up from Treviso airport. Price for a seven night stay is €608 per person.
You can also choose to stay in the city of Venice, but if you choose a beach stay you can pop into Venice at any time, it is just 45 minutes drive away.

Best family holiday: Holiday Village Ibiza 2023
Home from holidays and already thinking of next year? Now is the time to secure a Free Child Place, because believe it or not some dates are already sold in July! The Holiday Village Seaview in Ibiza is one of the most sought after properties and a Free Child Place is worth almost €1000 off the price!
With a waterpark, Aerial Adventure course and a choice of family rooms and apartments to choose from – its no surprise that it sells out quickly, but you can book now with a small deposit to secure your place.
Price for flights, transfers, checked baggage and a seven-night all-inclusive stay with all meals, drinks and entertainment included is €3752 on the 26th of July 2023 based on a family of four – the same holiday is €4716 on the 12th of July!

Best family staycation: Kenmare Holiday Homes
The Kenmare Bay holiday homes are always highly sought after, not only because of their ideal location, but they offer free access to the Leisure Centre and hotel facilities. They have availability over the Halloween break in three-bedroom lodges, something that will certainly sell out quickly.
Price for a two-night stay in a 3-bedroom lodge is €598 on various dates throughout the mid term break. I have selected the 1st of November, but if you prefer to change dates or stay longer, simply edit the dates via the link below.

This super deal for next summer is cruising on Enchanted Princess – the sister ship of Sky Princess, it was actually launched afterwards so is even newer than Sky Princess!

Price of €1255 includes flights, cruise with meals and entertainment and 20kg checked baggage. Add on Princess Plus for €46 per person per day which includes all drinks up to $12 in value, WiFi and gratuities!
