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.
Step aboard the legendary WWII-era USS Alabama, a floating fortress that earned nine battle stars. A private docent unlocks below-deck compartments rarely seen on self-guided visits — the ultimate bucket-list warship experience.
Glide across the same bay where Admiral Farragut famously declared 'Damn the torpedoes!' on a private sailing charter. Dolphin sightings, golden-hour light, and the Mobile skyline at your back make this utterly unforgettable.
Mobile invented Mardi Gras in America and its table is equally storied — Gulf oysters, blue crab bisque, and fried green tomatoes with Gulf shrimp remoulade. A small-group culinary walk through the historic Old Dauphin Way district puts the city's flavors center stage.
Forty-five minutes south of Mobile lies one of America's most breathtaking horticultural estates — 65 acres of azaleas, live oaks, and mirror-still bayous designed by a Coca-Cola magnate. A private guided walk reveals hidden garden rooms the general public rarely finds.
Paddle silently through one of the last undisturbed coastal ecosystems on the Gulf of Mexico with a private naturalist guide. Nesting sea turtles, migratory shorebirds, and undisturbed barrier-island wilderness await less than an hour from the ship.
Mobile is the oldest city on the Gulf Coast — founded by the French in 1702 — and its layered colonial, antebellum, and Victorian architecture is a living museum. A private architectural historian guides you through five flags, three centuries, and America's original Mardi Gras city.
