The River Mersey is set to come alive in song as it launches a packed programme of Summer Evening Cruises during the weekends for the first time.
A host of the region’s top artists will be performing throughout the summer and starting the season is newcomer Lucy Mayhew, a singer and songwriter from the Wirral.
The two-hour evening cruises, which depart from Seacombe at 7.30pm and at 7.40pm from Pier Head, Liverpool offer breathtaking views of the sunset over Liverpool’s unique UNESCO World Heritage Waterfront.
With tickets priced at only £14.95 per person, passengers can experience a truly unique night out, a fully licensed paid bar and time to enjoy with their friends and family singing and dancing along on the decks of the iconic vessels.
The Summer Evening Cruises run until September and are part of Mersey Ferries’ most diverse events programme, helping the city of Liverpool celebrate ten years since being named European Capital of Culture.
Alongside the evening cruises, Mersey Ferrries will also host to a series of special cruises, including Beatles Tribute Cruises, The Making of Motown tribute cruise and a viewing cruise for the Tall Ships, which come to the River Mersey on 28 May.
