There’s something truly magical about seeing the Waverley Paddle Steamer glide into Llandudno Bay – her iconic red, white, and black funnels rising proudly above the sea spray, the rhythmic sound of her paddles echoing a bygone era. We’re thrilled to have the world’s last seagoing paddle steamer visiting our shores once again!
🌟 A Living Piece of History
Built in 1946 to replace her predecessor lost during World War II, Waverley has been lovingly restored to her original post-war condition, offering passengers a unique opportunity to step back in time. Every detail, from the timber decks to the gleaming engine room, reflects the golden age of steam. She’s more than just a vessel – she’s a floating museum and a national treasure.
Whether you’re a maritime enthusiast or simply looking for an unforgettable day out, a trip on the Waverley is an experience like no other.
