The newly-appointed ISA president is an ardent fan of the tribe, and, along with pal Tommy Dwyer,is en route to Cardiff in his Beneteau Trawler yacht 'Spare Time' which will double as hotel and canteen for the weekend.
The last time Munster were in a Cardiff final, a fleet of RIBs invaded the city, carrying the red army to within shouting distance of the stadium.
Price hikes and surging demand left many with no option but to fly to London and bus to Cardiff.
Crowley reckons his chosen mode of transport will take around the same amount of time and will be a lot more enjoyable.No limp, six-euro airport sandwiches for Crowley, and as for scrums, he's of the opinion they should be watched from the stands rather than experienced at the boarding gate.
'We think the journey will take about 12 to 14 hours but we will be over as quick if not quicker than if we had to go to the airport and fly and then get buses and so on,' he told reporters today.
'We will have our accommodation on the boat at the docks in Cardiff. We also can eat on the boat if we need to. So we have none of the hassles you could have if you were going by plane.'
As ISA president, Crowley very responsibly stressed that their own personal Heineken Cups will stay in the fridge until the boat is safely docked in Cardiff.
'I will be very conscious of the safety aspect of it all, but we are really looking forward to it. And the match, of course.'
