Finale Cruise - National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port to Sandon Half Tide Dock, Liverpool Docks.  20th October 2025  1100 – 1600 hrs.

This unique five-hour final sailing of the year, gives you the chance to experience two of our major waterways – The Manchester Ship Canal and the River Mersey before locking in for a tour of the Liverpool Docks and tying up at our winter berth at Sandon Half Tide Dock, Liverpool.  You will experience fascinating history, majestic waterfront sights and getting up close and personal with commercial shipping – something for everyone.  There will also be real ale on draught available on the cruise from our friends at Hush Brewing Co

Please note that the arrival time is approximate as we are at the mercy of lock times and other shipping once we get to Liverpool.  

There is free parking at the National Waterways car park (CH65 4FW) or there is a rail station nearby.  Maybe you could visit the museum before boarding the Danny.

IMPORTANT INFO – ALL passengers will be required to use our coach to exit the secure Liverpool dock system.  However, we have scheduled a drop-off in Royal Albert Dock for those not wishing to return to the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port.
