Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Walk the grand boulevards of Dupont Circle and Embassy Row with a private architectural expert, uncovering the Gilded Age mansions and diplomatic residences that define Washington DC's most elegant quarter.

Commission a fully customised private journey through New Orleans' rich heritage with DuPont & Company — from ancestral witchcraft to Creole architecture — crafted exclusively around your party's passions.
Explore the ancestral du Pont gunpowder mills, Georgian garden, and Eleutherian Mills mansion above the Brandywine River — America's most atmospheric industrial heritage estate, guided by an expert.
Trek to High Falls, Triple Falls, and Hooker Falls deep in the Blue Ridge foothills — three of the most spectacular cascades in the Carolinas — led by a local outdoor specialist who knows every trail.
Experience The Phillips Collection in Dupont Circle — America's first museum of modern art — with a private docent-led tour through Renoir, Rothko, Klee, and Bonnard in the intimate rooms of a historic mansion.
