This jaunt aboard the well-known Mersey Ferry allows you to take in the rich history of the Liverpool Waterfront, and a full commentary provides the lowdown on what you're looking at for the whole 50 minutes. During your ride, discover the well-loved legacy of Liverpool and the river Mersey, with its musical and maritime history.

I've lived in Liverpool my whole life, but I have never taken advantage of the ferry cruises. It was amazing seeing the city I have lived in all these years from the river. I visited with my 2 little ones who also enjoyed the views and the experience. I would definitely recommend to all.

Excellent trip, commentary was slightly behind where the Ferry actually was, so sometimes what they were talking about was behind us, but otherwise a very enjoyable trip.
