Paul Semple, general manager of Waverley Excursions, said: “Today marks the beginning of a very special season for Waverley as she returns to service celebrating 80 years since her launch.
“Eight decades on, passengers can still experience the unique sights, sounds and atmosphere of travelling aboard a real steamship and we are delighted to see Waverley back sailing after a winter refit which saw a £1.5 million investment in the ship.”
Passengers can explore the engine room, hear the telegraph ring, and watch the paddles turn.
The ship features full catering, period lounges, and a souvenir shop.
