Cruise the Shannon

Shannon Cruising… Take to the open water

The River Shannon and its magnificent lakes - one of the largest amongst them is Lough Derg - combine to form one of Europe's finest navigable inland waterways.

You can hire and captain your own fully-equipped and beautifully furnished luxury cruiser and, with the minimum of tuition, the mighty Shannon is yours to explore and enjoy.

Your floating home can stop-off at towns and villages along your route, dropping in to music pubs and restaurants along the way.
Fully equipped and beautifully furnished cruisers, in a variety of sizes, are operated by the companies featured below. A Shannon Cruise is a lifetime experience.  Further information on the inland waterways of Ireland can be found on www.waterwaysireland.org  Cruise Hire Companies and Profiles
