A Mersey Institution

The Mersey Ferries have carried passengers across the River Mersey for nearly 900 years — a heritage stretching back to the twelfth century when Benedictine monks first operated a crossing from Birkenhead Priory.

⚓

Almost 900 Years of Service

Since 1150, ferries have crossed the Mersey. Granted a Royal designation after World War I, the service has been woven into Liverpool's identity for centuries.

🚢

An Iconic Fleet

The fleet includes the MV Snowdrop — adorned with Sir Peter Blake's famous dazzle camouflage — and the brand new MV Royal Daffodil, entering service in 2026.

🎵

A Cultural Icon

Immortalised by Gerry & The Pacemakers and deeply connected to the Beatles era, the Mersey Ferry crossing is one of the most famous short voyages in the world.

Vessels We Serve

Each vessel carries up to 1,200 passengers and operates between Pier Head (Liverpool), Seacombe (Wallasey), and Woodside (Birkenhead).

Current

MV Snowdrop

The celebrated Snowdrop is recognised worldwide thanks to Sir Peter Blake's dazzle camouflage design — a floating work of art that has become one of the most photographed ships on the Mersey.

New for 2026

MV Royal Daffodil

The brand new MV Royal Daffodil enters service in 2026, replacing the retiring MV Royal Iris. A modern addition to the fleet, ready for the next chapter of Mersey crossings and events.
