Mersey Ferries’ Manchester Ship Canal Cruises will set sail along a new cruise route in 2021.
The new round-trip cruise will sail from Liverpool and Wirral, travel along the Manchester Ship Canal to the historic Latchford Locks and back, giving groups the opportunity to experience a round-trip in the same day.
Relax as you travel under bridges mostly unchanged since they were built over 125 years ago and experience the rich legacy of Victorian architecture and engineering masterpieces like the Grade II listed Runcorn Rail Bridge and the Latchford High Level Bridge.
At Latchford Locks, the ferry will turn and start the return journey back to Liverpool and Wirral. Sailing back along the canal, through Eastham Locks into the River Mersey, visitors will get a breath-taking view of the Mersey Estuary and Liverpool’s UNESCO World Heritage Waterfront in the distance and enjoy the incredible panoramic views of the stunning coastline, Liverpool’s famous skyline and historic buildings.
To make a journey even more enjoyable, on board visitors will learn about the history of the canal and landmarks from a Blue Badge Guide’s live commentary. A licensed bar and servery are also available on board, selling refreshments and snacks throughout the cruise.
Cruises last between 5 – 6 hours, departing from Liverpool or Wirral, sailing to Latchford Locks and a return trip along the canal before being dropped at the original departure point.
Dates and reservations for 2021 sailings are now available.
Group rate for 20+ is £40pp.
