The Lower Shannon River, Ireland
~ FOOD & WINE ~

Elegant Dishes, Sublime Flavours, and "Must-Have" Desserts, including Freshly Baked Pastries & Breads from the Galley...

Shannon Princess's chef, Olivia, grew up in Ireland... a culture rich with food and hospitality. After college she attended Ballymaloe Culinary School, and also trained internationally by working all over the world in hotels, restaurants, and yachts. An avid forager, Olivia often musters guests and crew together to head off for an afternoon's picking of wild fruits, herbs, and heirloom vegetables. Olivia is the first to acknowledge what a great privilege it is as a chef to continuously use the freshest and highest quality ingredients sourced on a daily basis.

Onboard SHANNON PRINCESS you will be treated to a unique transient taste of Ireland. Menus, food, and service are a tribute to Ireland’s abundant natural ingredients and artesian producers. Prepare to be seduced by only the finest and freshest ingredients, gathered at farm shops and country markets along the Shannon and, of course, from the sea. Cheeses and organic ingredients are chosen from dedicated crafts people with a true love of food. The handmade farmhouse cheeses are unique to each cheesemaker's farm and milk herd.

You will be treated to elegant dishes, sublime flavours, and "must-have" desserts. Start each day with your Wellness Style Breakfast, complemented by freshly baked pastries and breads from the galley. Each meal is an occasion; served on fine porcelains, with delicate Irish crystal and crisp linens. The SHANNON PRINCESS enjoys the pleasure of sharing the fruits of their search for great wines. Wines served are both New and Old World wines, perfect to complement your gourment dining.

SHANNON PRINCESS is happy to attend to special dietary requirements. For example, low fat, healthy eating options.
