VIEW

“This activity is a little gem in Dublin. The replica ship gives you a greater appreciation about how terrible life would have been for the passengers who left their homeland and loved-ones for a new life across the Atlantic. No passengers of the real Jeanie Johnston died and this makes the tour even more special. The experience is less than an hour so you can easily fit it into your day. Recommend you buy this together with the EPIC museum because they are close to each other. ”

GetYourGuide - Dec 2022

“We found our visit to the Jeanie Johnston really interesting. Our guide Gearoid was very well-informed and interesting - we really learned a great deal about the plight of the Irish trying to leave Ireland during the potato famine of the 1840s. It was a very memorable visit.”
