Liverpool

Few places in the world can welcome ocean liners to the heart of the city, but in Liverpool some of the greatest cruise liners at sea are able to berth directly onto our UNESCO World Heritage waterfront.

In a city famed for its warm welcome, we do more than just greet our passengers, we extend a hand of friendship and provide a world-class experience every time.

We offer unparalleled, award-winning visitor attractions, national museums and galleries within a short stroll of the cruise terminal, as well as some of the UK's most stunning architecture, with not one, but two cathedrals.

Liverpool is a thriving, stylish, cosmopolitan and vibrant cruise destination with a glorious maritime history, cultural and musical heritage, including the legacy of The Beatles.

With all of these elements combined, it’s clear why Liverpool was awarded ‘Destination of the Year’ by Seatrade due to our unbeatable appeal to the international passenger.
