Overview

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 November 9, come see the SS United States! An ocean liner that set the transatlantic speed record on her 1952 maiden voyage. She will be sunk off the Gulf Coast as the world’s largest artificial reef. Around November 13, the USS Enterprise, the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, will be towed here for its final tow.

What's Included

  • Views of the historic SS United States on its final voyage (through 11/6)
  • Air-conditioned vehicle
  • Views of the USS Enterprise on her final tow before dismantling (around 11/14)

Frequently Asked Questions (8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Mobile Harbor Scenic Ships and Port Tour?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
