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.
Ascend America's tallest monument — all 630 feet of gleaming stainless steel — in a pod tram for a jaw-dropping panorama of the Mississippi and the St. Louis skyline. A bucket-list icon that defines the American West's starting point.
Part architectural wonderland, part adult playground, City Museum is a 10-story labyrinth of caves, slides, rooftop Ferris wheel, and surrealist art built from reclaimed St. Louis architecture. There is nothing else like it on Earth.
One of the oldest and most respected botanical gardens in the world, spread across 79 acres of immaculate horticultural artistry including a stunning Japanese strolling garden and a Victorian glasshouse. A living masterpiece and National Historic Landmark.
Walk the storied streets of downtown St. Louis with a preservation expert from Landmarks Association, uncovering 19th-century architecture, Civil War history, and the city's extraordinary rise as the Gateway to the West.
Board a classic riverboat and glide the mighty Mississippi in the shadow of the Gateway Arch — one of America's most dramatic waterfront panoramas. A deeply evocative journey on the river that shaped an entire nation.
Make the pilgrimage to St. Louis's most legendary institution — Ted Drewes Frozen Custard on Historic Route 66 — for a 'concrete' so thick it's served upside-down. A rite of passage for every visitor to this city since 1929.
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.
