Winterval Cruises on the Barrow Princess

See Waterford from the water this Christmas with Three Sisters Cruise Company’s Winterval Cruises aboard the Barrow Princess, sailing on Saturdays and Sundays from the 29th of November to the 20th of December.

With two festive cruises to choose from, there’s something for families looking for a little Christmas magic and for anyone who simply wants to sit back, relax, and soak up the Winterval atmosphere from the River Suir.

Winterval Santa Cruise

Make Christmas extra special with a 75-minute family cruise featuring Santa himself, along with plenty of festive music and Christmas cheer.

Santa Cruises depart at 11 am and 1 pm, and every child’s ticket includes a visit with Santa, a photo opportunity and a selection box. It’s a lovely way to add something a little different to our family’s Winterval day out.

Winterval Festival Cruise

For a more relaxed festive experience, hop aboard the 3 pm Winterval Festival Cruise.

This 75-minute cruise is all about slowing down and enjoying Waterford at Christmas time from the water. Settle in aboard the cosy Barrow Princess while mulled wine, hot chocolate, and other festive treats are available to purchase from the onboard bar.
