Cuisine : Fine Food and Drink Aboard Shannon Princess

Elegant dishes, sublime flavors, and "must-have" desserts, including freshly baked pastries & breads from the galley of Shannon Princess...

Shannon Princess's chef, Olivia, grew up in Ireland... a culture rich with food and hospitality. After college she attended Ballymaloe Culinary School, and also trained internationally by working all over the world in hotels, restaurants, and yachts.

Olivia is the first to acknowledge what a great privilege it is as a chef to continuously use the freshest and highest quality ingredients sourced on a daily basis. An avid forager, Olivia often musters guests and crew together to head off for an afternoon's picking of wild fruits, herbs, and heirloom vegetables.

Onboard Shannon Princess you will be treated to a unique taste of Ireland during your stay aboard. Menus, food, and service are a tribute to Ireland's abundant natural ingredients and artisan producers. Prepared to be seduced by only the finest and freshest ingredients, gathered at farm shops and country markets along the Shannon and, of course, from the sea. Cheeses and organic ingredients are chosen from dedicated crafts people with a true love of food. The handmade farmhouse cheeses are unique to each cheesemaker's farm and milk herd.

Shannon Princess is happy to attend to special dietary requirements. For example, low fat, healthy eating options.
