Waverley has returned home to Glasgow and the Clyde Coast ahead of her final sailings of the 2025 season on Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th October. Advance booking is recommended for Waverley’s last sailings of the year.
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. During the 2024-25 winter period over £1.1 million was spent directly on Waverley to maintain her and prepare for another full season of sailings. It is now expected that well over £1.3 million will be spent during the 2025-26 winter period.
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.
The shop that never closes – pick up an exclusive Waverley souvenir or purchase a gift. Visit our Online Shop for all things Waverley.
