Carrickcraft is one of Ireland's leading cruise hire operators, operating along some 300 majestic miles of silvery waterway. They have provided idyllic cruising holidays for over 30 years. Cruising along the Shannon and Erne Waterways gives you a perfect opportunity to sample the tranquil setting of unspoilt Ireland. The many small villages and towns nestling along the banks offer a world of tradition and culture, a heritage which is uniquely Irish. The natural forest areas are ideal for leisurely picnics and gentle walking excursions or cycling excursions further inland are a great way to explore the heart of the Irish countryside. Signs of earlier civilisations are close by as the region is steeped in heritage from the Prehistoric, Early Christian and Mediaeval ages. One of the Worlds' most famous monastic sites, Clonmacnoise, is to be found along the banks of the River Shannon. The waterways are teeming with fish so the visiting angler will enjoy a quality of fishing which is unique to Ireland. Golfing is another sporting activity which is much enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.
