Liverpool Cruises

Liverpool may be smaller in size, but it’s jam-packed with cultural attractions! It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004 and was designated as the European Capital of Culture in 2008, both distinctions shining a light on Liverpool’s Victorian city centre and maritime history. Albert Dock attractions like the Tate Museum, Beatles Story and Merseyside Maritime Museum are enough to fill a full day on their own, but music and sports fans won’t want to miss side trips to the Cavern Club and Anfield Stadium. Admire views of the River Mersey and Irish Sea from this bustling port.
