Charleston, SC
Lovingly preserved for 300 years, the Port of Charleston is a living museum. Here a ship's passengers can step back in time to the eighteenth century, before the Revolution, when Charleston was the seat of British rule and the cultural capital of the New World.
There's so much to see and do in the Charleston area -- history, architecture, arts, tours, dining, entertainment, plantations, attractions and the nation's finest Visitor Center are just a small sampling of what's available...Charleston is truly a feast for the senses.
The aspect of a Charleston port-call that passengers truly love is that everything is within easy walking distance...the Passenger Terminal is literally in the city's Historic District.
Upon disembarking, passengers are only two blocks from Charleston's famous public market, and less than that to a pickup point for the city's trolley system. The trolley picks them up and, should they desire, drops them off at the Visitor Center...the perfect spot to start a visit to the area.
