The Shannon Princess
II is the largest hotel barge cruising the river Shannon. Newly
commissioned for the 2003 season.
On the main accommodation deck are 5 equal, individually-designed cabins that can be configured with two twin beds or a double bed. All are riverside cabins with large opening picture windows, and bright, airy ensuite bathrooms.
Forward of the guest cabins is a spacious saloon area, with its own foredeck sun area.
On the top deck is a large panoramic sun deck with oversized tables, cushioned deck chairs & loungers.
PASSENGERS WITH MOBILITY RESTRICTIONS
Shannon Princess is all on one level with no steps from the saloon to the cabins. There are 11 steps from the saloon to the outside upper deck and a handrail. If you feel 11 steps would be too much then there is another outside deck with no steps. Ninety-five percent of the daily excursions are on level ground, so no worries with climbing steps; also the minibus transfers you to the sites – so not much walking if you prefer not to. We can arrange the hire of a wheelchair for the week if one is required. The only excursion that may be a little difficult would be Cragganown as this does have a challenging walk for those who are less mobile and some steps are also involved. You would be very welcome to relax on deck if you prefer not to participate on that excursion.
