Manchester River Cruises

Want to fall in love with your city all over again? Take a boat tour from Manchester River Cruises, and you’ll see its iconic views from a new and surprising perspective.

Tours last 60-70 minutes and you’ll find out interesting nuggets about the history of the Manchester Ship Canal and the surrounding area as you sail past MediaCity, Old Trafford, Stephenson’s 1830 bridge and the disused dry docks.

The Princess Katherine is a purpose-built fully-equipped Dutch-style sightseeing vessel with toilets onboard and a bar serving tea, coffee, wine, beer and more throughout the trip.

The cruises are a round trip with a choice of two departure points: either Pier 8 at Salford Quays under the Millennium Footbridge or Ralli Quay in Spinningfields in Manchester City Centre.
