Irish Barge Shannon Princess - Bike Cycling Tours - New for 2011

More good news from the Irish Hotel Barge SHANNON PRINCESS II...

Irish Hotel Barge Shannon Princess - Guided Bike Touring Cycling Cruises
Barging in Ireland - Cruising the River Shannon

Olivia owner-operator of the Shannon Princess, told us that she's been working like a mad woman researching the area in regards to putting together an itinerary for a cycling tour. She has spent the past weeks driving, cycling, and visiting the route, as well as talking to guides and tour operators.

Her hard work has paid off... The Shannon Princess is now offering guided bike/ cycling tours with personal cycling guide, along with their luxury minibus as backup vehicle. Cycle through a series of quintessentially Irish landscapes: slow rivers, green hills, charming villages, and meandering country lanes. An ideal way to explore country estates and villages. Bicycle upgrades available on request.


We appreciate Olivia's efforts and she has put together a super itinerary. See Shannon Princess's bike touring itinerary HERE.

Some more good news? This guided cycling tour will be at no extra charge.  That's right; no additional supplement for the guided tour... just the normal charter fee for groups of 6-10 guests.
