Your Holiday Ireland could begin with you picking up the keys to your very own cruiser before embarking on a journey of truly breathtaking proportions. You can potter along the waterways at a speed to suit yourself and you`ll probably find this speed to be a low one as you completely encompass the laid-back lifestyle that Ireland has become synonymous with. Your well equipped cruiser will have all you need to keep you in comfort whilst on your journey including a shower, toilet, stove and sleeping cabins and it will feel like a home on the water as you trundle along the tranquil river. No holiday will leave you feeling more relaxed as a Holiday Ireland river cruise will, as you can plan each day as it comes and stop your cruiser whenever you feel the need to set foot on dry land. Imagine sitting on your very own deck at nighttime, with your beloved by your side and looking up at the stars as the water gently laps around you? Peaceful and perfect this type of holiday will ease all your strains and fully recharge those run-down batteries that have become depleted through the pressures of life back at home.

The scenery will be spectacular and the wildlife will leave you amazed as your home on the water reaches places that you would never normally get to see. Your well- equipped cruiser will be inviting and hospitable and you`ll cherish the time you spend up on its deck or down in its galley as your holiday melts away slowly. From two berths to six berths the cruisers can accommodate parties of all sizes and with numerous moorings to stop at on the River Shannon, your party can really party in the many welcoming pubs that your journey along the waterway will stumble across. You`ll find that the cruisers are easy to operate and you won`t need a special licence to take one on the water so your adventure along the River Shannon can begin as soon as you set foot on your craft. Relaxed, rested and reluctant to return home, your trip along the waterways of Ireland will leave you hungry for more.
