The Cunard Building

Erected between 1914 and 1917, and designed by William Edward Willink and Philip Coldwell Thicknesse, the building’s palatial style is a neoclassical mix of Italian Renaissance and Greek Revival. The building is noted for the decorative sculptures that flank its sides.

Constructed originally as the headquarters of the Cunard Line, it remained so until the 1960s, and today is home to several public companies and private sector organisations.

Liverpool Cruise Terminal is recognised as one of the most popular cruise destinations in Europe. Ideally located in the Irish Sea, Liverpool – the birthplace of the first passenger cruise line – has proved to be an efficient and convenient UK departure point for cruise liners. As a result, since its opening in 2007, the port has re-established many connections with the world’s great cruise liners.

From technical expertise to hands-on support, a crew of highly qualified staff delivers a first-class service to every cruise ship that enters Liverpool’s waters. Unrivalled hospitality has ensured Liverpool is top of the list with international passengers – twice awarded Cruise Critic’s ‘Best UK Port of Call’ and Seatrade’s 2015 ‘Destination of the Year’, Liverpool looks forward to delivering a warm and friendly welcome to future cruise ship passengers.
