Will the Waverley return to Llandudno again in 2026?
The historic steamship carried out cruises from Holyhead and Llandudno between May 29 and June 1.
More than 3,000 passengers took a trip on the vessel; this year, the Waverley returned to North Wales as part of a four-day visit. Cruises took in the Great Orme and Puffin Island and the Anglesey Coast.
There was also a 'special Captain's Choice' evening cruise.
Talking about the 2025 season, Samuel Brown, Marketing Manager at Waverley Excursions Ltd, told the Pioneer and its coastal titles, said: "We had a fantastic return to North Wales this year and were absolutely delighted to sail once again from Llandudno Pier - especially in the same year it's been named Pier of the Year 2025 by the National Piers Society.
"Across four days of sailings, we welcomed over 3,000 passengers on board for a variety of sailings including the Great Orme, Puffin Island, and along the stunning Anglesey Coast. There truly is no better way to explore the beautiful coastline of North Wales than from the decks of Waverley.
