It's funny you should mention that as the Royal Canal has all recently re-opened to navigation, and you are right, canal (and also river) cruises are indeed very laid back, and a great way to pass the time.

But no, I was talking about these, which pass the back of my house now and again, one or two of which I've been on:

The Midland & Great Western Railway followed the Royal Canal for quite a bit of the way from Dublin (if not all) and eventually MGWR ended up owning the canal.

Tho I think both would be fantastic excursions!
