Relax and enjoy a fascinating travel along this famous inland waterway with the legendary Mersey Ferries. From April to October, the cruises take in spectacular scenery leaving you with an awe-inspiring sense of how the canal's construction shaped forever the city of Manchester and the North West of England.
Go on a journey through time, passing through locks and under bridges, mostly unchanged since they were built over 100 years ago. View the succession of swing bridges, a graceful sight as they turn through 90 degrees to allow ships to pass.
A fascinating live commentary tells the story of the canal and how it was built, primarily to help Manchester's ailing cotton trade. Their refurbished vessels provide excellent facilities, with drinks, refreshments and snacks available for sale throughout the cruise.
Cruises depart on selected dates from both Seacombe, Wirral and Pier Head, Liverpool, or from Salford Quays, Manchester. All cruises include return bus transport to your starting point, unless as a group you wish to book your own transport.
Most cruises include an approximate 2½ hour stop-over at the end of the cruise.
