Our waterway cruises Ireland

Ireland, a land of legends to explore on a licence-free boat

Ire­land – a land of leg­ends and mys­ter­ies, but also a land of water, bathed in count­less lakes and ponds and crossed by hun­dreds of kilo­me­tres of water­ways. A dream coun­try for an intro­duc­tion to water­way tourism, where Les Canalous will receive you on one of the three bases we’ve built in its most pic­turesque region. At Car­rick On Shan­non, Banagher or Bel­lanaleck, we’ll train you in how to cap­tain your house­boat and also sup­port you in prepar­ing your itin­er­ary for a per­son­alised water­way cruise.

Wel­come to the land of lakes ! Between Low­er Lough Erne and Lough Derg, you’ll be able to enjoy all the attrac­tions offered by these bod­ies of water. Let your­self be guid­ed to the nau­ti­cal bases, where you can indulge in swim­ming and all oth­er pos­si­ble water activ­i­ties. Fish­ing enthu­si­asts will also find some­thing to enjoy. A water­way cruise thus promis­es to sat­is­fy every­one’s pref­er­ences – even fans of hik­ing and/​or off-road cycling will appre­ci­ate the region’s many marked trails.

A waterway cruise to immerse yourself in Irish traditions

As you trav­el between two locks, one of the high­lights of a water­way cruise, you’ll be able to moor your boat and stop to vis­it the region’s most emblem­at­ic loca­tions. The monas­tic site of Devenish Island, in its iso­lat­ed set­ting, or indeed the monastery of Clon­mac­noise, are two of the must-sees dur­ing your Irish cruise. You’ll also enjoy strolling through the quaint streets of the vil­lages you pass through and shouldn’t miss the chance to call in at some of Ireland’s famous pubs for a real immer­sion in Irish cul­ture. Let your­self unwind as you explore the tra­di­tions and folk­lore of this real­ly endear­ing coun­try. Whether in pubs or restau­rants, or on the deck of your house­boat, you’ll enjoy the tra­di­tion­al Irish Ban­nock bread, or let your­self be tempt­ed by one of the Irish Pies that, made with beer, have secured the region’s reputation.
