ARTISAN THEME CRUISE:

Guests aboard the Shannon Princess will enjoy tours seeing the finest craftsmen at work, such as Ralph Haslam, the owner of Mossfield Organic Cheeses, plus the owners of award-winning Meadowsweet Apiaries & Farm Shop, renowned for their delicious honey.

There will also be a trip to the world famous Clarinbridge oyster beds on the shores of Galway Bay, as well as a tour of Portumna Castle’s kitchen garden, full of beautiful herbs and berries used by the barge’s chef.  Other interesting visits include the Wilde Irish Chocolate Makers and also McGeoughs Craft Butchers & Smokehouse, an award-winning charcuterie producing, among other delights, smoked Connemara lamb. Each artisan you meet on this fascinating voyage of discovery, will have a their own story to tell.

What's more, throughout the week you will enjoy wonderful gourmet meals prepared by the highly-skilled, onboard chef Olivia Gibbons!

The inhabitants of this region are convinced that fine locally-produced products are fundamental to their quality of life and after their cruise; Shannon Princess’s guests will definitely think so, too.
