The Waverley, the world's last seagoing paddle steamer, is now open for visitors to experience the thrill of travelling onboard the steamship. As the sole survivor of it's kind, the ship has become an icon- and it is coming to Wales in just a few weeks time for people to experience the thrill of it themselves.
The Waverley is registered on The National Historic Fleet as being a vessel of pre-eminent national significance and has operated in preservation since 1975. It has become a “national treasure” carrying over 6 million passengers.
It will be cruising the Bristol Channel in June for the first time in five years docking at Penarth, Porthcawl and Tenby from June 2 to 18 this summer, making stops at Newport, Milford Haven and go around Swansea Bay, the Gower coast, Caldey Island and St Brides Bay. It will be the first time the steamer visits Tenby in 30 years.
