Boat Trip
🎅 This Christmas, treat your loved ones to a Manchester Ship Canal & Cruise and let them experience 125 years of history. Purchase gift vouchers here. 🎅
An amazing cruise into history.
Relax and enjoy a fascinating 6 hour, 35 mile journey 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.
Marvel at the historic buildings, industry, fields, houses and the wide open space of the Mersey estuary as you cruise along, all surrounded by nature's beauty and tranquillity.
A fascinating live commentary tells the story of the canal and how it was built, primarily to help Manchester's ailing cotton trade. However, in reality, it did more to boost engineering and became a focus for importers of food and raw materials.
Our 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 coach transport to your starting point, unless as a group you wish to book your own transport.
Most cruises to Liverpool also include a short stopover at the end of the cruise (canal traffic permitting) giving you time to take in the brilliant sights of Liverpool, and maybe have a bite to eat or do some shopping at Liverpool ONE. The Albert Dock with its historic buildings and waterfront attractions, such as Tate Liverpool, the Merseyside Maritime Museum and The Beatles Story, is also close by for you to enjoy.
If you’re looking for a unique Christmas gift this year, why not give your loved ones Manchester Ship Canal Cruise gift vouchers. For £44 per person, they will enjoy spectacular scenery and uncover 125 years of fascinating history. Visit merseyferries.co.uk/gift for more information.
