So take a break from your cruise and head to the capital to celebrate St Patrick's Day!

Our St Patrick's Day programme

On arrival in Dublin, immerse yourself in the electric atmosphere of the city. To start your special St. Patrick's Day, explore the city's iconic sites, including the Jameson distillery, where the famous Irish whiskey of the same name is produced. Don't miss the chance to enjoy a tasting session! Afterwards, head to the Guinness Storehouse museum for a total immersion in Irish culture and its iconic drinks. Finish off the day in style at the Gravity Bar, a bar offering 360-degree views of Dublin, where you'll be offered a pint (but be warned, the place can get crowded, especially on the eve of St Patrick's Day)!

March 17, D-Day! Get ready for one of the world's greatest street shows! Head to the Grand Parade on O'Connell Street, where you can immerse yourself in Irish culture with colourful floats, musicians and dancers. Then head to the Temple Bar district to experience the festive atmosphere in Dublin's pubs and lively streets.

Want to extend your stay in Dublin? Stay an extra day to relax and explore more of the city at your own pace. Visit the city's historic sites, such as Trinity College University, Christ Church Cathedral and Dublin Castle, or simply stroll the city's lively streets.

So, tempted by the idea of celebrating St Patrick's Day on an Irish cruise? Don't delay in booking your houseboat for March, and get ready for an experience like no other!
