KRLD listeners will have the chance to experience Ireland alongside morning news host Joe Kelley on a special hosted tour next spring. Carr World Travel and Collette Vacations are partnering with the station for the “Irish Splendor” journey, set for March 15-22, 2027.
The eight-day trip includes round-trip air from DFW, visits to Dublin for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, the Rock of Cashel, Blarney Castle, the Dingle Peninsula, Cliffs of Moher and a stay at a historic castle hotel. Travelers can also enjoy a distillery tour and the Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime Museum. Pricing starts at $4,699 per person for double occupancy.
Kelley, a longtime voice in North Texas radio, will join the group for the duration, offering shared experiences and insights along the way. The tour is designed for listeners seeking a mix of history, scenery and camaraderie in a small-group setting with light activity levels.
Pre- and post-tour hotel options are available, along with premium air upgrades. A deposit of $698 per person reserves a spot, with final payment due by Dec. 15, 2026. Full details on payments, cancellations and insurance are outlined on the tour site.
The trip highlights KRLD’s commitment to connecting with its audience beyond the airwaves through memorable travel opportunities.
