Full description
Climb aboard an all-weather 48-passenger river boat for a 45-minute cruise along the River Liffey in Dublin and see the city from the water. Get insight into the history of Dublin City and the River Liffey in particular, from the arrival of the Vikings more than 1,000 years ago, through the swift development of Dublin during the 18th and 19th centuries, to the subsequent decline and more recent redevelopment of Dublin Docklands. Hear about the iconic Ha'penny Bridge and Gandon's masterpiece Custom House. Follow the story of Dublin’s Royal and Grand Canals, and see where Oliver Cromwell landed in 1649. Discover how Captain William Bligh surveyed Dublin Bay in 1800, and how much of present day Dublin now sits on reclaimed land, including Trinity College and the Spire in O'Connell Street.

The pickup point was easy to find and we were greeted and ticked off a list without needing to show our tickets. The guide waschirpy, knowledgeable and highly entertaining. We learnt alot about the history of Dublin in a short space of time. I would recommend this trip.

From the moment we arrived the crew were friendly and helpful, my dad who is 85 was not rushed and they made sure he knew he could take his time to board. Onboard the views and seating were perfect for a lovely trip down the Liffey. Our guide Ryan was hilarious and equally very knowledgeable, i wont spoil any of his well timed jokes but suffice to say he is a great lad and i wouldnt be surprised to see him on the big screen doing a comedy routine sometime soon. Also a shout out to the captain Mark who sailed us perfectly down and back. I highly recommend this if you are in Dublin and want to learn a little bit of history and a good laugh, sláinte Mark and Ryan especially for the pub advice
