Where is it?
The River Shannon runs from the centre of Ireland to the south west of Ireland,
although our cruises are only on the lower reaches of the river. This is often said to be the most
beautiful and unspoilt area of ’the emerald isle’. What are the cruises like? Cruises on the Shannon Princess II will probably surprise you. The barge itself is exceedingly spacious, with every comfort considered and factored into your barging experience, whilst the warmth of the Irish people and willingness to share their significant cultural heritage, will surely delight you. The cruise route itself is a profusion of lakes, gentle river, green pastures and wide horizons. Wildlife and nature abounds. Fishermen, hikers, naturalists alike will delight in this region. Your cruise on the River Shannon may include ancient old country inns and pubs, magical islands with castles nesting atop them or ruined Celtic settlements. There are also some excellent shopping excursions to be enjoyed! |

How does this river compare with others in Europe? Excellently. The wide, gentle Shannon River ranks highly as one of the most beautiful in Europe. The green landscape and peachy sunsets will make this trip very worthwhile! Why would I want to cruise here?
Because you love beautiful countryside and
natural havens where you can watch the birds and hear them sing, whilst still cruising in extreme
comfort. You want a barge with all mod-cons but a cruise through a ‘real’ land of vibrant people
and authentic hospitality. |
