The River Explorer Cruise brings any educational visit to the Liverpool or Wirral waterfront to life. River Explorer Cruises operate hourly Seacombe [Wallasey] and Woodside [Birkenhead]. Your group can start their journey at any of our two terminals and Return Tickets allow you to break your journey and rejoin the cruise later in the day. See our
River Explorer Cruise timetable and
ticket prices for further details.
The River Explorer Cruise offers students the best views of the historic Mersey waterfront and a lively and informative commentary, including the fascinating history of the ferry service, which began when Edward III granted the Benedictine Monks a Royal Charter in 1330. Students will learn how the ferry service has developed with the growth of the maritime industry and the world-famous Port of Liverpool. Combine the River Explorer Cruise with a visit to Spaceport
[Seacombe], Customs & Excise Museum [Liverpool], Maritime Museum [Liverpool], Birkenhead Priory [Woodside] or St Mary’s Tower [Woodside].
