Liverpool Cruise Terminal Marks 15th Anniversary

Celebrations are underway at Liverpool Cruise Terminal, as the city marks 15 years of welcoming passenger cruise ships. The terminal was officially opened by the Duke of Kent in 2007 and has since welcomed more than 700 ships and boosted the local economy by £65 million.

By the end of the 2022 cruise season, Liverpool expects to have received its one-millionth international visitor.

Councillor Harry Doyle, Cabinet Member for Culture and Visitor Economy, said the cruise terminal had been on an “incredible journey” over the past 15 years.

“From the early days of six ships and 6,000 passengers, to the present day, where we have welcomed almost 100 operations and 200,000 passengers in 2022 alone, the ‘sea-change’ has been enormous.

“The cruise terminal has an important role to play in Liverpool’s future, and the next step is to explore how we can grow this future sustainably. We are looking forward to announcing more on this as celebrations get underway.”

Fred. Olsen ship Borealis has called Liverpool its home port for the current cruise season and was involved in kick-starting the celebrations. Guests were invited on board for a special launch event and tour of the ship, with shoreside entertainment provided by Merseyside drumming group Katumba Drummers.
