What makes a LUX Self-Drive trip so special? The experiences, stays and dining are always the most choice in Catherine’s Collection and the vehicles are the best available. Because it’s a custom luxury trip, golf in Ireland and Scotland can be added to your itinerary, with tee times at some of the most famed and challenging courses available.
