Many visitors consider The Harbor of History Tour aboard the 250-passenger vessel the Carolina Belle, one of the most enjoyable attractions in Charleston. The 90-minute, non-stop tour covers 20 miles and over 300 years of history! Sit back and relax or take a leisurely stroll on the deck while you listen to live narrated commentary featuring 75 points of interest. See the forts that helped shape history: Fort Moultrie, Fort Johnson and Fort Sumter. Intimately view Fort Sumter as we cruise by and impart its special place in history. See the waterfront mansions along Charleston's Battery, Rainbow Row, White Point Gardens and Sullivan's Island. The Carolina Belle cruises past the USS Yorktown and goes under the new Arthur Ravenel, Jr. Bridge. Refreshments and cocktails are available aboard the Carolina Belle at the snack bar.
