Overview

Liverpool is a city known for its waterfront and cultural landmarks along the River Mersey. This combined ticket includes a river cruise and an open-top bus tour to cover the main sights of the city. The River Explorer Cruise departs every hour from Liverpool Pier Head Gerry Marsden Terminal. Passengers should arrive at least 20 minutes before departure to exchange their vouchers. The cruise lasts about one hour and offers views of Liverpool’s waterfront with digital audio commentary available in multiple languages; passengers need to bring their own headphones. After the cruise, the ticket allows access to the City Explorer open-top bus tour, which operates on a hop-on hop-off basis. The bus tour covers Liverpool’s key attractions and can be used either on the same day as the cruise or the following day, with a validity of 48 hours from ticket redemption. The last bus departure is at 3pm each day. The ferry has a coffee shop and restrooms onboard, and the main deck is wheelchair accessible. The tour runs in all weather conditions, so appropriate clothing is recommended.
