One Ocean Expeditions (OOE) is breaking barriers in the golf vacation industry with an innovative duo of expedition cruises that see golfers and non-golfers alike accessing sites and courses that have not been explored by any expedition cruise operators before.

Following last summer’s successful launch of the Fiddles and Sticks Golf Expedition on Canada’s East Coast, the inaugural Scotland & Ireland Golf Expedition voyage – which ran in June 2019 – has been a huge success.

The 8-day voyage departed Dublin and travelled along the rugged coastlines of the Atlantic Ocean. Golfers woke up to a new course each day, accessing the exclusive waterfronts by Zodiac boat transfers.

Michael Cunningham, a guest onboard the voyage, said: “Visiting Scotland and Ireland, the birthplace of golf and whisky, was outstanding. Playing some of the finest golf links in the world. Hiking, biking and kayaking the Hebrides and Orkney Islands. Discovering historical reminders of early civilizations dating over 5,000 years. This is truly an itinerary unlike any other.”

And Cunningham added: “One Ocean has discovered a niche that is difficult to match. To experience all of this in attentive, casual luxury aboard RCGS Resolute is a journey that I recommend everyone should have on their bucket list.”

The 2019 Canada’s East Coast Fiddles & Sticks voyage recently completed its second successful run, confirming golfers’ appetite for this type of innovative product. Offering a high dose of soft adventures and wildlife viewing, golfers were excited to play the seaside courses of Cabot Links, Cabot Cliffs, Dundarave and Highland Links.

The Scotland and Ireland Golf Expedition will operate in 2020 from June 6 to June 13, with Fiddles and Sticks returning to OOE’s line up in Spring 2021.
