The Liverpool Cruise Terminal is a 350 metre long floating structure situated on the River Mersey enabling large cruise ships to visit without entering the enclosed dock system or berthing mid-river and tendering passengers ashore.
The £19 million facility is capable of accommodating vessels of 345 metres in length and 10 metres draught[1]. The terminal was officially opened on 21 September 2007[2] by HRH The Duke of Kent when the Queen Elizabeth 2 berthed at the terminal.
The cruise liner terminal has been developed in conjunction with improvements to the Isle of Man ferry terminal, operated by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company.
