The Lower Shannon River, Ireland
Irish hotel barge vacation river cruises
The Lower Shannon River, Ireland
Visit the Emerald
Isle aboard the 10-passenger, hotel barge, Shannon
Princess II.
Come and explore the lovely Irish countryside... not only the rich
wildlife and spectacular scenery, but their myths and legends as well.
Pass by ancient monasteries, prehistoric cities, forts and Celtic
vilages, while floating along the tranquil Shannon river.
Owned & operated by Irish husband and wife team Ruairi Gibbons & Olivia Power, they have brought their shared knowledge, experience and passion onboard the SHANNON PRINCESS to create a very personalized & bespoke cruise experience. Ruairi as barge skipper/tour guide and Olivia as master chef, lead a handpicked professional crew, and you will be charmed with excellent but friendly service, gorgeous food & wines, and share in a slice of local life and knowledge.
The River Shannon, Ireland
The
River Shannon represents Ireland at its finest. Rolling green
fields, lakes and rivers, ancient Celtic monasteries and an abundance
of wildlife. The legends and fables of Ireland are found everywhere and
are well understood by the warm and hospitable Irish people. Their
extraordinary history has been varied and sometimes difficult but they
somehow always find the time to chat and discuss the time of day. The
Shannon cruise brings you in touch with the very soul of Ireland. The
10-passenger Shannon Princess II is a spacious, powerful river cruise
vessel specifically adapted for the Shannon.
Cruise highlights:
The Shannon Princess follows the river's gentle curves, floating by dappled woodlands and floodplain meadows.
Enjoy an early morning stroll through twisting country lanes or a moonlight riverside rambling.
Be as active as you wish. The Shannon Princess can offer Bird Watching, Fishing, Walking, Cycling, Golf, and Horse Riding. There's ample opportunity to swim from the barge... take a dip in some of Europe’s purest waters.
Relax... in tranquil comfort. Onboard accommodation is provided for up to 10 guests in 5 en-suite cabins with twin or king sized beds. Cabins are light filled, crisp & airy, with large riverside opening picture windows. Each guest cabin has its own modern, immaculate bathroom. Fully stocked with Heaven Scent organic bath produce.
Unwind... as the Shannon Princess slips through countryside little changed through the centuries, passing crumbling ivy covered ruins, medieval garrisons & sleepy market villages.
Enjoy... stunning views & evening cocktails on the private terrace style deck or in the charming open plan saloon. As the last rays of light wash over MV Shannon Princess and the River Shannon, soak up the Shannon’s tranquil ambience and watch the world float by.
