Liverpool has hosted many incredible ships in 2025. From Cunard’s Queen Anne and Queen Mary 2 to Fred. Olsen’s Bolette, the city has welcomed thousands of passengers for short stays as part of their cruises this year.
Despite the end of 2025 approaching, there are still many cruise ship visits scheduled for the rest of the year. There are five cruise ships scheduled to visit the city on multiple trips across October 2025, according to the Liverpool Cruise Port website.
Fred. Olsen’s Bolette is scheduled to depart Liverpool this month, before visiting the city another seven times before the end of 2025. On October 10, the smaller cruise ship will be sail from Liverpool on its Whales and Volcanic Wonders of the Azores and Madeira cruise.
Passengers will have the chance to go dolphin and whale watching, as well as engage in local traditions such as sampling Madeiran wine or pastéis de nata.
A spokesperson for Fred. Olsen said: “We’re incredibly proud to sail from Liverpool, which has been an important homeport for us for more than twenty years. It continues to play a vital role in our cruise programme, thanks to the strong demand from our loyal guests in the region.
“Liverpool’s location makes it an ideal gateway to the world – whether it’s exploring the breath-taking Norwegian fjords, discovering Iceland, or even embarking on a world cruise right from your doorstep.
“We’re also proud to play our part in raising the profile of the Liverpool City Region, both nationally and internationally, by welcoming visitors and supporting local tourism.
