Ulysses Walking TourAcknowledged as one of the most important works of the twentieth century, James Joyce`s Ulysses records the adventures of one Leopold Bloom in and around Dublin city and suburbs. The story take s place on a single day - 16th June 1904 - the day James Joyce met his beloved Nora Barnacle and immortalised her forever in his book..

 

Ulysses Sandycove Promenade DeckEach chapter is based around a different hour of the day 16th June and to commemorate this we placed 12 clocks at various points of interest around the vessel.

The answer to each of the twelve questions are hidden in the clocks!

 

Ulysses Walking TourBecause Ulysses contains no description of its principal character Leopold Bloom, you are left to imagine what he might have looked like. To help passengers put a face on this illustrious figure, one of the amusing features on the Ulysses Walking Tour is the Leopold Bloom Mirror - a feature without a face! Gazing into the mirror you can picture yourself as Leopold Bloom and "reflect" on what his face might have looked like.
