Cruise into Half Term on a Mersey Ferries’ River Explorer Cruise!

Cruise into Half Term with Mersey Ferries, and hop on board Liverpool’s ultimate sightseeing experience, a Mersey Ferries’ River Explorer Cruise!

The 50-minute River Explorer Cruise is the absolute best way to discover Liverpool and the perfect family friendly day out, offering unrivalled views of the world-famous waterfront. 

There will be expert live commentary from a Blue Badge Guide on board selected sailings over half term that will reveal many surprising facts about the ferry and the River Mersey’s history – ideal for mini historians in the making learning about their city. As you relax and take in the views, little ones will be captivated as the rich and fascinating history of the world-famous waterfront unfolds before them.

Plus, on Wednesday, 27 October you can sail past Royal Caribbean’s ground-breaking ship Anthem of the Seas, whilst it is docked at Liverpool Cruise Terminal, and learn lots of interesting facts about the fantastic cruise liner from the knowledgeable Blue Badge Guide (live commentary on select sailings only).

  • Tuesday 26 October: 1pm, 2pm and 3pm 
  • Wednesday 27 October: 1pm, 2pm and 3pm
  • Thursday 28 October: 1pm, 2pm and 3pm

Our expert recorded commentary will play on all other River Explorer Cruise sailings.

Make a day of your trip and hop off the ferry to visit Woodside Ferry village and enjoy delicious food and drink from their international menus. For more information visit: www.woodsideferryvillage.co.uk
