About Liverpool

Liverpool docks you right in the heart of a proud maritime city with two great loves: The Beatles and football. The UNESCO-recognized waterfront, the revitalized Albert Dock with its museums and galleries, and a warm, witty local welcome make it a genuine city-center port. Beatles pilgrims can tour the childhood homes, the Cavern Club, and Penny Lane, all within easy reach.

💡
Insider Tip

Liverpool's cruise terminal is right in the city center, so you can explore on foot. Beatles fans should pre-book the National Trust tour of John's and Paul's childhood homes — it's small-group and sells out.
