Video: Cruise the River Shannon & its Loughs Aboard the 10 Passenger Hotel Barge Shannon Princess

The River Shannon and its loughs represent Ireland at its finest and your cruise aboard Shannon Princess features a landscape of rolling green fields, ancient Celtic landmarks and an abundance of wildlife.

The renowned legends and fables of Ireland are well understood by the hospitable Irish people, who will be happy to tell you more about Ireland’s eclectic history, folklore and ancient traditions. Marvel at their astounding hospitality as you immerse yourself in haunted ancient castles, 6th century ruins, and of course, a pint or two of the ‘black stuff’ – Guinness.

The five twin/double staterooms, also with picture windows, are stylishly furnished and each is air-conditioned and accompanied by a modern ensuite shower room.

The large rooftop sundeck is certainly the place to relax and watch the countryside glide by, as well as the inviting dining area with circular table to savour that gourmet al fresco meal on warmer days.
