4.5 (1.800 reviews) Thursday: 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Ranking #18 in Province of Leinster Speciality Museums • History Museums

Brilliant, highly recommend.

The Jeanie Johnston tells the story of the thousands of Irish people who fled the Famine and embarked on a treacherous voyage in the hope of a better life in North America. Step on board and you will be transported back in time to join them on their gruelling journey. The tour takes approximately 50 minutes and is led by one of our knowledgeable guides. The tour begins with a walk around the upper deck, where you will see the majestic masts, admire the craftsmanship and learn about the ship’s history. Next you'll learn the real life stories of passengers while visiting below deck.

Best Tour in Dublin
We recently visited the Jeannie Johnston Famine Ship on a Saturday morning in February. Our guide Gerry was fantastic. We had pre-booked the 11:00 am tour and I was glad we had because it was completely sold out. The tour was 45 minutes and we learned about the horrors of the Great Famine and about the miracle ship, the Jeannie Johnston, who never lost a passenger, unlike the many coffin ships of the time. It was shocking to learn that to this day Ireland’s population is still less than it was before the Great Famine began. Between those who had died and those who had fled, the population has never fully recovered. Again, Gerry made the whole tour. Our teen kids even enjoyed it. We booked this as the combo ticket with the Epic Museum which we visited right after.

Phenomenal
I've been here twice now. Absolutely amazing experience, loved both our guides Gearoid and Jerry who each have their own styles and are so knowledgeable. Recommend it to the whole family and especially those who fail to understand what the British empire doomed the Irish to go through
