Manchester River Cruise with Salford Quays Discovery

Description:

See Manchester from another perspective on a scenic canal cruise. Board the cruise at the heart of Manchester’s old docklands, Salford Quays. See sights from the modern Media City, now home to the BBC and the new home of ITV’s Coronation Street.
