Mersey Ferries - River Explorer Cruises

There's no better way to experience Liverpool and Merseyside than from the deck of the world famous Mersey Ferry listening to our commentary. You'll learn about the city and the region's fascinating history, see its spectacular sights and discover its unique character. The Liverpool waterfront is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site so there's even more reason to take a leisurely 50 minute River Explorer Cruise. River Explorer Cruises depart hourly from Pier Head, Liverpool and from Seacombe or Woodside, Wirral. Visit www.merseyferries.co.uk for more details.

You can combine you trip on the ferry with a visit to Spaceport based at Seacombe Ferry Terminal, Wirral. Spaceport is a £10 million attraction covering the subjects of space and space travel. Your visit takes you on an inspirational journey through space as you walk through six differently themed galleries which all feature a large variety of interactive hands-on exhibits and audio visual experiences. Spaceport is currently hosting an official BBC Doctor Who Exhibition until 1March 2009. See the TARDIS, Cyberman, Sontorans and the terrifying Daleks - log on to www.spaceport.org.uk for more details.
