Believe it or not, #Roadrtip had 65 million posts on social media by mid 2024, more people than ever hit the road last year and road-tripping is predicted to be one of the most popular travel trends again in 2025. Cannonball Ireland is now gearing up for the second of five Irish and International road-trips in 2025. Foreign Cannonball trips appeal to a much wider group than just car enthusiasts. They are intimate and convivial with just sixty people in thirty cars and designed with adventure, luxury, breath-taking scenery, unforgettable experiences and spontaneity in mind. As they say in the Highlands “Whit’s fur ye’ll no go past ye”
The Grand Highlands Road Trip departs Belfast Port at 7.30am on April 24th on the Stena Superfast VII and participants will relax in the reserved club lounge for the crossing. The driving route takes in the scenic coastline of Cairnryn and through Scotlands most stunning landscapes taking in Loch Lomond, Coch Lochy and the famous Loch Ness to catch a glimpse of its mythical resident.
What really adds to the appeal of Cannonball foreign trips is the exquisite choice of hotels, restaurants and nightlife. Lunch stops include picturesque Atholl Palace, The Torridon Hotel, Crieff Hyrdo Hotel, Whispering Pine Lodge and Glennapp Castle. Hotels for overnight stays include the Majestic Kings Mill Hotel in Inverness, Fairmount St Andrews – a clifftop estate near Dundee and Cameron House, the lovingly restored Luxury Hotel on Loch Lomond. The Cannonball Grand Highlanders dine like kings and can then take a walk on the wild side with plenty of fun along the route.
Drivers bring their own cars by Ferry for trips like Grand Highlands which are closer to home but car hire options are also available. A Bugatti Veyron stole the limelight a few years ago and Cannonball is well-known for supercars but many also choose to do this road trip in the comfort of a 4×4 or Sportscar. The Cannonball Grand Highlands road-trip is all-inclusive from €1,925 per person based on two people sharing, one car, all-inclusive from Ireland with return ferry. See www.cannonball.iefor details.
