A River Explorer Cruise on the famous Mersey Ferries is an unforgettable day out for all the family. The River Mersey has an incredibly rich and varied history and the ferry service itself is more than 850 years old. Our River Explorer Cruise takes you on a ferry that not only crosses the Mersey, but also explores many of its most interesting facets, which are all described in a fascinating commentary. We are currently operating our winter route, which takes you south on the river towards Eastham.
River Explorer Cruises operate hourly from Pier Head, Liverpool, Seacombe and Woodside on the Wirral. You can start your journey at any of our three terminals and a return ticket allows you to break your journey at any terminal and rejoin the cruise later in the day.
