Cruzeiro Viking Waterford
Descrição
Waterford foi fundada pelos Vikings. Eles escolheram este rio por uma razão, e uma vez que você está na água você vai ver exatamente por quê. Passeie pela Reginald's Tower, o edifício cívico mais antigo da Irlanda, passe pelo estaleiro de Malcolmson, desça na rua Canada onde os emigrantes embarcaram para Nova Faixa, e saia para o Castelo de Waterford antes de voltar pelo estuário. Sua Guia traz tudo à vida, os colonizadores nórdicos que construíram a cidade, os normandos que a tomaram, o cerco de Cromwell, as histórias mais tranquilas de duas guerras mundiais que a maioria dos visitantes nunca ouve. Destaques - Reginald's Tower, o edifício civil mais antigo da Irlanda Shipyard de Neptuno de Malcolmson - Canadá Street, onde os emigrantes embarcaram para Newfoundland - Castelo de Waterford e Little Island - História Viking, Norman, Cromwell e Guerra Mundial - Vida selvagem e biodiversidade do Estuário do Rio Suir

Itinerário
Construída pelos Vikings há mais de mil anos, a Torre de Reginald é o edifício cívico mais antigo da Irlanda. Situada no ápice do Triângulo Viking de Waterford, a torre aparece em muitos episódios históricos, de Strongbow a Cromwell, Perkin Warbeck, Rei Jaime II e muitos mais.
Um assentamento monástico existiu em Little Island do século 6 ao 8 d.C. Uma escultura da cabeça de um monge desse período adorna a entrada do castelo até hoje. Os vikings chegaram no século IX e duas fortificações foram construídas na Ilha Vryk 'Ilha de Dane'. Os normandos invadiram em 1170 e Maurice Fitzgerald, primo de Stongbow, foi mantido prisioneiro em Little Island pelos ossermen durante a conquista. Ele foi devidamente recompensado com muitas terras depois disso e, portanto, a ilha se tornaria o lar dos condes de Kildare por oito séculos.

Great way for a family to travel up the suir and gain some insights into some of the local history. John our guide was very knowledgeable and Andy let my youngest pilot the boat.
Many thanks. Great to have you onboard
A fantastic experience with a lot of history would definitely recommend
Thanks Soyna, great to get the sunshine too.
It was such fun! I'm pretty good with the history in Ireland and the vikings etc but my family and I learned so much on this tour. The guide and the captain (Mary & Andy) were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. There was complimentary tea, coffee, water, juice and snacks offered. There was also binoculars available to use and viking hats for photo opportunities! I'll definitely be booking again next time I'm in Waterford. I'd highly recommend it to anyone!!
Thanks Eilish, great to get the good weather also!!
Andy and Mary were very welcoming hosts. Andy was the captain and Mary explained everything. In saying that, so did Andy. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time. My wife and I were the only 2 on the boat because a group of 4 cancelled. They brought us out anyway. I'd recommend it to everyone
Great to have you onboard

Great to have you onboard
A beautiful scenic boat ride. A little light on the Viking history side, however, rich with Irish culture and history. John the narrator was fun and friendly. He walked us over to O’Sullivans and introduced us to the owner. Live entertainment was really pleasant. ML
