Peer into Philadelphia’s remarkable past on a relaxing panoramic drive through its Old Town. Famous places are everywhere -- Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the home of Betsy Ross and Elfreth’s Alley with its picturesque 18th-century dwellings. Watch for Benjamin Franklin’s streetside gravesite, usually (ironically)covered in coins in honor of his famous quote, "A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned."
The Museum of the American Revolution invites a deep dive into the Revolutionary War through its innovative, interactive exhibits. See this pivotal event in history through the eyes of the different communities who were impacted by the conflict. You’ll emerge with a better understanding of how and why America’s Independence was achieved and at what cost. View the most treasured artifact in the museum’s possession -- the tent that George Washington lived in for most of the war.
Return to the ship via Philly’s towering City Hall, the famous LOVE Statue, and vibrant Chinatown. There’s a brief stop at the Philadelphia Museum of Art where you can channel your inner Rocky Balboa and scale the 72 most iconic steps in the United States. The view of the city from the top is sublime and the nearby Rocky statue presents a perfect photo op.
Notes:
Tour sequence may vary. The visit to the Museum of the American Revolution is self-guided. Restrooms are available at the museum. All sites visited are accessible, including the Rocky Steps. Expect long lines at the Rocky statue; a photo may not be possible. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
