Cruising in Ireland
Ireland and the river Shannon - put the two together and the result is a fusion of beauty and relaxation, probably unsurpassable in any other part of the world. The natural beauty of Ireland has been lauded in songs and poems by some of its' most talented sons and daughters, and Ireland is not known as the 'emerald isle' for no reason.

Irelands' inland waterways can take you on a journey through this land from the north to the south and the east and to the west on the many navigable rivers and canals that constitute Irelands inland waterways. The many towns and villages along the way offer excellent hospitality, and Irish people are always ready with a warm welcome for visitors.
