What are the departure times from Pier head, Liverpool, for a cruise down the Manchester Sip canal on a Sat?

Answer 1

These cruises are special events which normally take place during the summer.

The ferry departs from the Pier Head, enters the ship canal at eastham locks, and cruises up to Manchester at Salford Quays, taking approx 6 hours. After a few hours free time in manc land buses take pasangers back to Liverpool. I think the ferry returns the journey the following day from manchester to Liverpool with buses taking passangers back.

Look on the Mersey ferry site for the next trip, I think you have to book in advance.

'Mersey Ferries fascinating Manchester Ship Canal Cruise is a truly memorable journey along the 35-mile stretch of canal.
