Explore Liverpool

Explore our magnificent city in a different way, hop on board a colourful “Dazzle Ferry” and let your tour of Liverpool begin! This amazing sightseeing cruise will take you along the iconic Mersey River and allows you to get up close with many of the city’s main attractions. The Ferries leave hourly between 10.00am and 4.00pm from the Pier Head.

Step aboard and cruise along Liverpool’s UNESCO World Heritage waterfront, passing sights such as the Royal Liver Building. Explore the information zones and learn about Liverpool’s maritime and musical history via the onboard commentary, including how The Beatles performed on the Mersey ferries’ ‘Riverboat Shuffles’ of the 1960s.

Liverpool Explorer Cruise

Visit the three main Liverpool ports – Pier Head, Seacombe and Birkenhead Woodside. Save money by upgrading your ticket to include visits to the Spaceport or U-Boat Story. Purchase an all-inclusive ticket, to see the best of Liverpool in one day. Along the 50-minute roundtrip cruise, listen to colourful audio commentary about Liverpool’s riverside history, speckled with stories of smuggling, war and music – all influential players in the city’s development. Catch impressive views of Liverpool’s key riverside landmarks and hop off wherever you’d like to explore – another boat will be by to pick you up shortly.

So be a part of the adventure and sail the seven seas while indulging in some fantastic history and some beautiful sights when you hop aboard the Liverpool Explorer Cruise!
