Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or embarking on your very first voyage, knowing how parking works at Liverpool Cruise Terminal can help to ensure a stress-free and seamless start to your trip. Here’s everything you need to know to make parking simple: 

Q-Park Liverpool ONE, located at 35 Strand Street, Liverpool, L1 8LT

Travellers setting sail from Liverpool Cruise Terminal are typically advised to park at Q-Park Liverpool ONE car park. This is a secure car park situated within the Liverpool ONE shopping centre. Once you arrive, Q-Park or Cruise and Passenger Services (CPS) representatives will check your car in and direct you to the baggage drop-off location. You will then be transported from the car park to the ship, usually via a free mini-bus shuttle service. 

Q-Park Liverpool ONE is conveniently located in the heart of Liverpool city centre and is easily reached by car. If you're travelling to the city from the south, take the M6 northbound and join the M62 or M58 westbound towards Liverpool. From the north, follow the M6 southbound and connect to the M58 or M62. If you're coming from the east, take the M62 westbound directly into the city. From the west, use the A59 or A41 across the River Mersey. Once you arrive in Liverpool, follow the signs to the city centre and the Albert Dock to get you closer to Q-Park Liverpool ONE car park. You'll notice that there is directional signage to the shopping centre on many of the major roads approaching Liverpool ONE. If you choose to use a Sat Nav, enter the postcode L1 8LT.
