Ireland Guided Walking Tour & Barging Cruise, Summer 2011


The Irish Hotel Barge SHANNON PRINCESS II invites you aboard for their
SUMMER SOLSTICE WALKING CRUISE
June 26 - July 2, 2011

There are still a few cabins available for the dedicated Guided Walking Tour barging cruise scheduled for Sunday, June 26 through Saturday July 2, 2011.  This week is available for individual cabin bookings and on offer at regular 2011 cruise rates (US$4200/person, double occupancy) with no additional supplement for the tour guide.

Embrace the luxury and comfort of barging along with the satisfaction and exhilaration of quality guided walking tours in a unique & beautiful environment that only Ireland’s River Shannon can offer.

Shannon Princess provides the perfect floating vista for your Irish walking adventure.  Walks are guided by professional walking guides, all with backgrounds in archaeology, history, natural science, and, of course, a smattering of local knowledge. Their luxury minibus and driver is in attendance on all walks, allowing walkers the freedom to extend walks or return to the barge at their wish.

Routes will typically vary between 14-20 km, or a 3 to 4-hour period. With undulating routes, many of the walks are areas of special environmental preservation. Enjoy alfresco gourmet lunch and refreshments catered by the barge crew and their support vehicle.

We had a couple aboard Shannon Princess for the June 2010 Guided Walking Tour trip. They emailed us from the boat:
"...having the best time imaginable!  I will write more about the experience when we get home, but I can't imagine ever topping this!"

Experience barging in Ireland this year.
