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.

Valentine brunch

5.00I booked the morning brunch Valentine cruise for me and my husband and it was very nice. The food and service were great! Boarding was easy and it was very intimate and neat seeing all the battle ships and cargo areas on the harbor. My only complaint is coffee and no other drink other than water was included in the meal and two cups of regular coffee pot brewed coffee were $8. And a credit card has to be on file to order any additional drinks or food, no cash was accepted.
Valentines night VIP deck dinner cruise

4.00The experience was nice. Only 2 problems. If you book on valentine's day like I did for my wife and I there is no parking available due to Mardi Gras so you have to park up to a half a mile away and walk to the boarding area. And second they must have needed another bartender or 2 working the bar. Some People were having some pretty long waits to get theor drink orders. Other than that the scene is very nice. The food is good. The live music on the VIP deck was very nice and entertaining. I would recommend this to other people but the parking issue during Mardi grass is something to look out for.
Participation is the key to enjoyment

Excellent harbor tour in Mobile

5.00Comfortable, well-appointed boat. Tour guide was thorough and entertaining and knew a lot about the ships and the sites that we passed. Since this cruise featured the SS United States, it was an added bonus to have a former passenger of the liner on board with lots of souvenirs and additional memorabilia from her voyage. Pleasant and attentive staff!

5.00Our group of 7 had a wonderful afternoon harbor tour onboard the Perdido Queen. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the harbor and harbor activity. We were able to move around the boat to see everything he talked about. Friendly, accommodating staff. You will not be disappointed with the afternoon harbor tour.
The staff was extremely helpful and kind to the seniors (15 total) that we brought from our community in Pensacola. 10/1
