Manchester River Cruise

Meet at the selected time at the Salford Quays pier. You'll board the Princess Katherine for a boat trip on the River Irwell and along the canals of Manchester.

Departing from the Spinningfields area in the heart of the city centre, we'll learn more about the history of this English city and its evolution thanks to the recorded commentary in English provided by the Princess Katherine.

Between bridges and buildings, you'll also be surprised by some moored boats which are actually real houseboats all year round.

After an hour of sightseeing, we'll end the tour by learning more about the history of Manchester and, above all, having seen the city from a very different perspective.
