Join Killaloe River Cruises for the best opportunity to explore the River Shannon and Lough Derg. From the history of the Killaloe Canal and the Shannon Scheme of 1929, we cruise towards where Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, kept watch over the river crossing at Beal Boru. Cruising into the calm waters of Lough Derg, sheltered by the Slieve Bernagh and Arra Mountains, the panoramic view is spectacular.

Their boat is suitable for passengers of all ages and is purpose-built to maximise your view to make your cruise on Ireland’s greatest river more memorable and enjoyable. Cruising down the Shannon is a wonderful and calming experience.
