Testimonials

"This was an experience of a lifetime. Equal to the superb scenery and activities of the Shannon are the impeccable service and friendship of the SP staff! Ruairi, Olivia, Ross, Kelly and Donna not only made sure we needed for nothing- but they also made great traveling mates. If I ever can find a way to get back here I will. If you are considering a trip with them- book it without hesitation. You will love it!”

“Never before have we experienced an all-inclusive that was beyond 5 stars, but this one is! Captain Ruairi, Chef Olivia, and First Mate Ross, plus awesome assistants Sian and Kelly have all helped this to be the trip of a lifetime. Excursions, beyond 5-star meals, wine and libations, and superior service details have contributed to this being the trip of a lifetime! History, culture, social customs, supremely friendly townspeople, lovely geographic surroundings, and many other facets of this wonderful country have made this a trip we will never forget and will likely not match again. Thanks be to God!”

"As I sit here in Canada and reflect, I just want to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you - Ruairi,Olivia, Ross, Kelly and Marianne for making our trip so special. The attention to detail and to our respective personalities was just amazing to witness. I can speak on behalf of everyone that the entire experience was very special. We loved the food and the wine - and most importantly we loved all of you. We had occasion to have a reunion with all of us except Ann and we toasted with the Muldoon. So I am making it my mission to sell Canada on the Shannon Princess. I am looking forward to booking another trip in 2018. It was simply the best and will live on in our memories."
