Commenting on the new summer cruise schedule Irene Hamilton said “We are thrilled to be back on the water both with our daily car ferry service and our evening passenger cruises. To see people jiving or dancing to the walls of Limerick last year was so joyful. Not a car or tractor to be seen on the cruises just people out to enjoy themselves and appreciate the spectacular scenery of Carlingford Lough and its surroundings”. This is the 3rd year of Carlingford Lough Ferry hosting these summer cruises, Irene continues “We are collaborating with local businesses to highlight local produce and brands that we believe are world class AND we know that our guests love to dance so we have an exciting line up of live bands to play on the ferry from trad to jazz”.
With the backdrop of the Cooley peninsula and the majestic Mourne mountains this summer is the perfect time to explore this very special part of Ireland. And perhaps spot one of the Loughs most famous residents – the grey seals! For full details of the Carlingford Lough Cruises schedule see www.carlingfordcruises.com
