The must-sees
Our tips for your cruise

Clonmacnoise: travel back 1500 years

Also known as ‘The Seven Churches’, the monastery of Clonmacnoise is a key site in Irish Christian history.

Athlone: a vibrant town on the Shannon

Life is vibrant in Athlone, the largest town on the River Shannon. Shoppers will love it. For the family: don’t miss the castle, which takes you back 800 years with fun and interactive exhibits. Then admire the stained glass of St. Peter and Paul’s Church. No river cruise in Ireland is complete without a visit to Sean’s Bar, the oldest pub in Ireland.

Lough Ree: hikes and islands for the adventurer in you

With its 105 km², Lough Ree is popular with anglers but also offers many activities: hiking the Liliput Way trail, visiting Saint Faithleach’s holy well, and exploring Rathcline’s castle and cemetery with its Celtic crosses. The lake’s most visited attraction is Inchcleraun Island, home to a 6th-century monastery recognized as a national monument by the Irish government. Legend says Queen Medb of Connacht was killed here—with a slingshot and a piece of cheese.

Crom Castle: Irish architectural heritage. As you sail along Upper Lough Erne, you will come across this little architectural gem. Crom Castle consists of two parts: the first dates from the 17th century and was built by a wealthy Scottish landowner. Destroyed by fire in 1764, the original building is now in ruins. The second building is the reconstruction of the castle, carried out in the 19th century. While this part is now privately owned by the Earl of Erne, the ruins of the old Crom Castle are open to visitors, so don't hesitate to stop by.
