Ferry across the Mersey

We could have bought our tickets online but just turned up at the ferry terminal and very easy, maybe summer times could be busier. The trip was really good and another experience ticked off.
Great fun - highly recommend

Great Experience
Published on Mar, 2025
We had a fantastic time on the Mersey River Cruise! It was a great way to see the sights and take in the views of Liverpool from the water. If you plan to sit outside, I’d definitely recommend wrapping up warm, especially if it’s a windy day. Overall, a really enjoyable experience and well worth doing.
