The city of Liverpool has released its confirmed cruise ship schedule for the 2026 season, continuing its tradition of hosting prominent international vessels at its city-center cruise terminal. The upcoming year features a variety of luxury liners, including return visits from well-known brands such as Cunard, Fred Olsen, and Viking Cruises.

One of the most notable ships on the roster is Cunard’s Queen Anne. This luxury liner is scheduled to make its fourth visit to the River Mersey on June 17, 2026. The ship previously played a significant role in the city’s 2025 commemorations for the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, where it led the traditional sounding of whistles following a two-minute silence.

The Fred Olsen ship, Bolette, maintains a particularly strong presence in the 2026 schedule. It is slated to dock at the Liverpool terminal thirteen times before July. These visits correspond with a range of itineraries, including a voyage to the Caribbean, Lisbon, and Madeira in February, as well as a themed tour of the Scottish isles and coastlines during the Easter period in March.

The schedule for the first half of the year also includes multiple arrivals from Viking Cruises, with ships such as the Viking Vela, Viking Neptune, and Viking Sky making frequent appearances. Other major cruise lines confirmed for 2026 visits include Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Celebrity Cruises, and P&O Cruises. These visits range from short day-trips to embarking points for longer international voyages. While the current list provides a comprehensive overview of arrivals through June, the Liverpool Cruise Port notes that timings remain subject to change based on operational requirements.
