The sheltered waters of the Shannon Estuary are the gateway to the magical and enthralling West of Ireland. The wonderful scenery as your vessel enters the Estuary serves as an appetiser for the many attractions and activities which are available to your passengers during their visit with us.

Within easy reach of the modern port facilities your guests can explore a magical combination of historic castles and recreated worlds, breathtaking scenery and shopping attractions. Easily accessible via the international airport, or within comfortable cruising time from other ports, the region also offers well-established assistance for cruise line operators to ensure you and your clients enjoy an unbeatable experience.

This specialist website has been developed jointly by Shannon Development  and Shannon Foynes Port Company, the two main promotional bodies for tourism and maritime development respectively.  Both organisations work closely together to provide support and assistance in the development of call schedules and programmes, as well as operational execution while in port. With our experienced track record and unparalleled local knowledge, we provide preferred access to the premier attractions and resources in the region, and offer innovative marketing support and incentives.

We invite you to explore this site further to see just some of the potential excursions and itineraries available. On the “Further Information” page, you will find links to relevant sites providing you with more details, and contact points for getting in touch with us.
