Sail north of Athlone to the Lake of the Kings and capture the wonderful scenery of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands. This family friendly cruise will bring you on a journey through Ireland’s largest river and its fierce Viking past.

Departing from Athlone Castle, this cruise travels upstream on the River Shannon to Lough Ree. During the sailing there is commentary on local history, the religious settlements on the islands and tales of Viking treasure. This is a boat trip that can be enjoyed by all ages and is suitable for any family occasion. Don a Viking helmet and prepare for battle or simply sit back with an Irish Coffee.

Either way, you will enjoy the beauty of the Inland Waterways and witness everything Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands has to offer. P.S. We are Dog Friendly!
