The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Glide through the primeval blackwater corridors of Lofton Creek on a guided kayak tour — ancient cypress draped in Spanish moss, roseate spoonbills overhead, and the unhurried silence of Old Florida at its most pristine.
Command your own whisper-quiet CraigCat electric catamaran through the scenic waterways around Fernandina Beach — dolphins play in your wake, pelicans wheel overhead, and the salt marshes of Amelia Island unfold around every bend.
Walk the last intact antebellum plantation in Florida — a haunting, UNESCO-recognised National Monument on Fort George Island where the stories of enslaved Africans, a remarkable free Black plantation mistress, and early American power collide.
Pedal effortlessly through Jacksonville's most beautiful historic neighbourhoods — Springfield's painted Victorians, Riverside's leafy boulevards, and the edgy murals of the emerging arts district — on a small-group electric bike tour led by a local insider.
Stand mere feet from Bengal tigers, lions, leopards, and cougars at the acclaimed Catty Shack Ranch — one of Florida's highest-rated wildlife sanctuaries — during the exhilarating nightly feeding that brings these magnificent predators to life.
Explore one of the American South's finest art museums — spanning antiquity to the 20th century — and its breathtaking Italianate and English gardens cascading to the St. Johns River, guided by a curator on a private after-hours or bespoke visit.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
