Step by Step
Enjoy the sights of Charleston, South Carolina's largest city, on this Cooper River cruise. From the top deck of this cruise you'll have panoramic views of the entire coastline, where you'll be able to get a close-up look at some of the city's most important monuments.
The cruise captain will narrate live everything you see from the deck so you won't miss a single detail. Once you've identified the monuments, the captain will also give a brief explanation of their history and relevance to the city. So, not only will you have an incredible view, but also a cultural experience.
You can choose to take this cruise at 3 different times, in the morning, in the afternoon or at sunset. This way you can have an experience more in line with your needs and what you expect from the cruise. Regardless of the time of day, you'll have incredible views of the city's skyline.
Some of the most famous landmarks you'll see have a clear wartime association. For example, you'll visit the Fort Sumter National Monument built on the site where the American Civil War began. On the other hand, a number of World War II Confederate army forts are scattered around the city today.
