Join Mersey Ferries on a special River Explorer Cruise to celebrate the arrival in Liverpool of the magnificent Royal Navy Aircraft Carrier HMS Prince of Wales on Saturday 7 December and Sunday 8 December. 

HMS Prince of Wales is one of the most powerful warships ever constructed in the UK. Along with her sister ship, HMS Queen Elizabeth, they are the largest ships ever built for the Royal Navy. The ship’s flight deck is 70 metres wide and 280 metres long - enough space for three football pitches.
