Clyde Waterfront Education

On board the MV Cruiser

Trip opportunities

There are plenty of opportunities to get out of the classroom and explore the River Clyde with a group of young people. The Clyde Waterfront Heritage website and guide provide further ideas about places to visit and heritage to discover.

Set off on an exciting journey of discovery that includes the Science mall, planatarium, imax cinema and the city's highest freestanding building the Glasgow Tower.

Visit the new interactive museum at Braehead and immerse yourself in the story of Glasgow's development from the tobacco lords in the 1700's right up to the 21st century.

The Clyde Marine's Classroom on the Clyde offers an ideal way to explore the river by chartering the MC Cruiser. There's commentary as you sail "doon the watter" and a stop at Clydebank to visit the Titan Crane.

Go aboard the Glenlee, Glasgow's resident tall ship and explore the realities of life at sea.

Take the lift to the top of this amazing piece of engineering history. The Titan Crane at Clydebank has been restored as a tourist attraction and provides an ideal way of exploring the Clyde's shipbuilding past.

Sail down the Clyde on the Waverley - the world’s last sea-going paddle steamer provides a direct link with the past and the opportunity to sail in the style of a bygone age.

By 2010 the Riverside Museum will provide another important piece in the story of the Clyde. Work on the iconic new building is already underway.
