Experience breathtaking views from the deck of an iconic Mersey Ferry as you sail into Liverpool Bay on this new sightseeing cruise.

During the three-hour cruise, you’ll enjoy incredible scenery and learn more about the fascinating history and geography of the River Mersey and Liverpool Bay with expert commentary from a Blue Badge Guide.

Take in the panoramic views of the river as you sail past Royal Seaforth Docks, Fort Perch Rock at New Brighton and along the Crosby Channel towards Blundellsands and Formby.

This special sightseeing cruise will also give you the chance to experience Anthony Gormley’s spectacular Another Place art installation at Crosby Beach from the river, and enjoy unique views of the 100 cast-iron life-sized figures spread across foreshore.

Live band The Shanty Kings will sing songs of the sea and folk songs during the cruise and the fully licensed bar will be open throughout, so you can buy snacks and drinks.
