Liverpool Cruise Terminal is expected to welcome more than 100 cruises in 2022; it's most ambitious season yet.
Despite the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, which led to the cancellation of cruises worldwide for almost 14 months, there is optimism that this year’s season will be bigger and better than ever.
Throughout 2022, more than 20 different cruise ships are expected to visit Liverpool, including 10 inaugural visits such as the Valiant Lady, Celebrity Apex and Norwegian Dawn.

The season will get into full swing in March, with a visit from Virgin Voyages, and will also include visits from the Queen Victoria and the always-popular Disney Magic.
Fred Olsen will also return, having chosen Liverpool as its homeport for its flagship Borealis ship for a second season.
While uncertainty remains around coronavirus, Cruise Liverpool will maintain its ‘satellite’ terminal at the Arena and Convention Centre for the foreseeable future, giving passengers and operators a safe and speedy way of joining or leaving a cruise.
Cruise Liverpool’s 2022 season is expected to provide a £15 million boost to the local economy.
John Mawer, head of Cruise Operations at Cruise Liverpool, said: “We are looking forward to marking the 15th birthday of Liverpool’s Cruise Terminal later this year, and what better way to do it than ensuring record ships and passengers visiting our shores and enjoying the famous Liverpool welcome.
"We also want 2022 to be the year when we make progress in reducing the environmental impact of the ships on the city, there’s a long way to go but talks are already underway and I’m excited to be a part of the conversation on behalf of Liverpool."
