Mersey Ferries

About

San Francisco has its cable cars, New York has its yellow cabs… and Liverpool has its world famous Mersey Ferries. An experience you’ll love starts with a River Explorer Cruise.

A River Explorer Cruise is a must do experience and the only way to see and enjoy Merseyside and Liverpool’s iconic waterfront and UNESCO world heritage site. Departing hourly, the 50 minute experience sails between Pier Head, Liverpool and the Wirral peninsula and a journey can be selected to suit each and every day out; wonder at wildlife, absorb heritage, have an action packed experience or simply sit back and relax - the River Explorer Cruise allows you to do as much or as little as you desire.

You can even ‘Hop On & Hop Off’ at each terminal and combine your trip with visit to one of our waterfront attractions, Spaceport and U-boat Story. There is simply no better way to witness and enjoy Merseyside and Liverpool’s iconic waterfront and heritage than from the deck of a legendary Mersey Ferry.

From April 2017, hop on board the Dazzle Ferry ‘Snowdrop’. Created by Sir Peter Blake, eye-catching motifs cover the boats exterior. Explore the on board exhibition panels and learn more about the role of Dazzle Ships in the country’s wartime history. Check out the dazzle calendar for sailing dates at merseyferries.co.uk
