Product code: 2706LIFFEY
Cruise the River Liffey for a journey through Dublin. Your cruise departs from Bachelors Walk, just a few hundred meters from O'Connell Street, right in Dublin's city center and will bring you on a relaxed journey in air conditioned comfort and safety.
During each cruise, your professional local guide presents an entertaining and informative commentary covering all aspects of the history of the River Liffey and of Dublin city itself, from the first arrival of the Vikings 1000 years ago, to the rapid development of the city during the 18th and 19th Centuries to become a major European capital, and of the subsequent decline and more recent redevelopment of Dublin's Docklands.
You will learn the story behind the iconic Ha'penny bridge as well as Gandon's masterpiece, the majestic Custom House. You will follow the story of Dublin's Royal and Grand Canals and see where Oliver Cromwell landed in 1649 and hear how Captain William Bligh surveyed Dublin Bay in 1800. Learn of how much of present day Dublin now sits on reclaimed land, including Trinity College and the Spire in O'Connell Street.
The all-weather, purpose-built vessel, the Spirit of Docklands, can accommodate up to 48 passengers, and offers you maximum comfort and safety. The vessel is wheel chair accessible and is very suitable for young and old alike.
