Boarding at Seacombe at 7.30pm and the Pier Head, Liverpool at 7.40pm the cruise will last around two hours and will give passengers the chance to see Liverpool’s famous UNESCO World Heritage waterfront as they take in views from a vantage point on the Mersey.

The line-up includes jazz and swing performer Alan Cross and one half of the Mac Bros, Cal Mac who made his name on BBC TV show The Voice.

Head of customer delivery at Merseytravel Gary Evans said: “Our ‘Summer Evening Cruises’ were hugely popular last year and we are delighted to welcome them back to this year’s programme of events on the River Mersey.

“This year our cruises are part of Liverpool’s Summer of Love and our artists will play a selection of tracks from this significant period in our city’s musical heritage – as well as some classic songs new and old.

“Whether you are visiting Liverpool for a few days, are new to the city or have lived here all your life, the evening cruises offer a new way to see Liverpool’s most stunning views and architecture with fabulous entertainment to make this a trip with a difference.

“It’s the perfect way to spend a leisurely summer evening, with family, friends or work colleagues.”
