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.
Walk the hallowed ground of one of the Civil War's most decisive sieges with your own NPS Licensed Battlefield Guide — a rare, expert-led private experience across 1,330 acres of monuments, earthworks, and cannon-lined ridgelines that changed American history.
Step inside McRaven, Vicksburg's oldest and most storied antebellum mansion — witness to three centuries of births, murders, and Civil War occupation — on an intimate, expert-led private tour that no standard itinerary replicates.
Board the only surviving American Civil War river ironclad in existence — the USS Cairo, raised from the Yazoo River after a century underwater — for an extraordinary encounter with 1862 naval warfare inside Vicksburg National Military Park.
Explore Vicksburg's layered historic downtown — antebellum mansions, Civil War-scarred facades, Gilded Age commercial blocks — on a bespoke private walking tour with a passionate local expert who knows every hidden story behind the storefronts.
Ascend to Vicksburg's most commanding hilltop landmark — the 1858 Warren County Court House, where Grant raised the Union flag after the Confederate surrender — and immerse yourself in one of the South's finest collections of Civil War and Mississippi River history.
Discover the science, engineering, and human drama of the Lower Mississippi River at this exceptional waterfront museum — home to a moored USACE research vessel you can board — making it the most intellectually rewarding stop for any river cruise passenger.
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.
