The unique Liverpool duck-tour vehicle was formerly an amphibious landing craft vehicle, used during WWII. Now with a play on the name from the Beatles "Yellow Submarine" song, the converted Yellow Duckmarine offers you the perfect way to see top Liverpool attractions as you venture over land and water!

Lasting approximately one hour, your Liverpool Yellow Duckmarine Tour passes many of the best city sights that helped Liverpool gain the European Capital of Culture title in 2008. Starting from the Albert Docks (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site), your duck tour takes in the impressive Pier Head area, home to the newest Beatles Story Exhibition and Mathew Street, where the famous Cavern Club venue can be found. It was here that the Beatles regularly performed in the early stages of their musical careers.

Other non-Beatles related attractions that you may see include Liverpool's Royal Philharmonic Hall, and both the stunning Anglican and Metropolitan cathedrals. After touring on land, you will return to Albert Dock for the famed "splashdown" into the water, where you'll cruise around Liverpool's other historic docks to learn about the city's maritime past.

Packed with entertaining, live commentary throughout, the Liverpool Yellow Duckmarine Tour offers the best family-friendly sightseeing adventure in Liverpool. It's a trip that you will surely never forget!

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing way to see Liverpool or you want a full day of family-friendly attractions, the Mersey River Explorer Cruise with optional upgrades is your ticket to Liverpool fun. The standard Mersey River Explorer Cruise lasts a leisurely 50-minutes, with scheduled stops at Seacombe and Birkenhead Woodside ports. Enjoy the cruise as a hop-on hop-off tour to see what interests you most - simply hop off when you want, and re-board the boat when you're ready to continue to the next stop.

While taking in views of Liverpool's riverside architecture and wildlife, you can listen to entertaining audio commentary about the River Mersey's fascinating maritime history. Hear tales of smuggling, music and war - three diverse influences that have touched this friendly city over the years and given it a unique charm.

Make a full day of it by upgrading your hop-on hop-off cruise to include tickets to the Spaceport attraction at Seacombe. This family-friendly exhibition covers the subject of space travel with various themed galleries, interactive exhibits and audio-visual experiences. Highlights include a "Wallace and Gromit in Space" feature - a themed display that showcases the popular main characters from the British animated short films.

Alternatively, you can choose to include entrance to the U-Boat story attraction at Birkenhead Woodside. Featuring a German submarine from WWII, the U-Boat Story offers an insight into life as a submariner during the wartime years.

Purchase entrance to either attraction with your Mersey River Explorer Cruise tickets, or upgrade to the All-Inclusive option, which includes both attractions, for an adventurous day out that the whole family will enjoy!
