The barge dictates the pace of your holiday - slow and relaxed.

Discover Laois from a different point of view with Barrowline Cruisers.
Based in Vicarstown on the Barrow Line of the Grand Canal, Barrowline Cruisers offers a peaceful self-catering escape on the water, where you can slow down, unwind and take in the beauty of the countryside at your own pace.
Cruise gently beneath old stone bridges, experience the charm of the canal locks, and enjoy cosy, comfortable accommodation on board as you explore one of Laois’ most scenic hidden gems.
