Step aboard the Perdido Queen for an unforgettable harbor tour through Mobile's bustling port. This cruise offers a unique perspective of one of the Gulf Coast’s most historic and active harbors. Glide past massive cargo ships, naval vessels, and the working waterfront as your guide shares fascinating stories about Mobile’s maritime heritage, shipbuilding industry, and the city’s role in global trade. Along the way, enjoy scenic views of the skyline, the USS Alabama, and the Mobile River Delta. With comfortable seating, panoramic views, and southern hospitality on board, the Perdido Queen makes for a relaxing and educational experience for all ages. Through March 2026, come see the SS United States! An ocean liner that set the transatlantic speed record on her 1952 maiden voyage, before retiring in 1969. She was purchased in 2024 by Okaloosa County, Florida, moved to Mobile for cleanup, and is now being prepared to be sunk off the Gulf Coast as the world’s largest artificial reef.
