Description
Before the evening Mardi Gras parades roll, explore Mobile’s rich history and its bustling modern seaport on this one-of-a-kind afternoon journey. Cruise along the city’s namesake river and out into the head of Mobile Bay where we will learn about Mobile’s historical connections to contemporary Mardi Gras celebrations and venture past the city’s impressive port facilities. Discover the lower reaches of the incredible “American Amazon” in which Mobile is located, and enjoy a stunning waterside view of the iconic USS Alabama before returning to the dock in plenty of time to get a spot on the parade route. In the spirit of the season, all guests receive complimentary moon pies and beads!
