We think at that time of year, and based on what you would like to see and do, you should start and finish your cruise in:
Carrick-on-Shannon on the North Shannon
If you are flying in to Dublin, another option is to take a one-way Shannon cruise from Carrick-on-Shannon to Banagher or a one-way Shannon-Erne cruise from Carrick-on-Shannon to Bellanaleck. You can take our bus transfer from the airport to one marina and then return to the airport from another marina.
