We are delighted that National Historic Ships UK has given Waverley the prestigious title of National Flagship of the Year in recognition of her ambitious cruising programme around the UK.

Tickets for all Waverley cruises can be purchased in advance online or by calling the Booking Office on 0141 243 2224.

As a charity our primary aim is to maintain and operate Waverley for public benefit by offering a wide range of cruises on a living and working steam heritage attraction of national and international significance.
Maintaining a seagoing paddle steamer in full operation relies on donations, as well as fares, catering and shop sales income. We are exceptionally grateful to everyone who supports our efforts to keep Waverley sailing – without you a vital piece of our proud maritime, engineering and social heritage would have been lost forever.
We welcome one off donations or regular monthly donations from “Friends of Waverley“. Visit the Supporting Waverley section on our website for full details on how you can play a part and help keep Waverley sailing.
You can also support Waverley by purchasing items from Waverley’s Amazon Wish List.
The shop that never closes – pick up an exclusive Waverley souvenir or purchase a gift. Visit our Online Shop for all things Waverley.
Tickets can be booked for all of Waverley’s 2024 sailings online, by calling the Booking Office on 0141 243 2224, or purchased on board the steamer when you sail subject to availability.
