Our Summer of Giveaways continues with two tickets (value $59.90) to the Murder Mystery Cruise on the Carolina Queen. New to the Charleston Harbor this summer, the Carolina Queen is the city’s only true paddlewheel vessel offering a river boat-style atmosphere.
Built in 1982, Charleston Harbor Tours bought the vessel from a company in Texas and spent a year refurbishing the 400-passenger boat and readying it for a springtime debut. With two covered decks and an air-conditioned main salon guests will be able to take in those harbor sunsets and views of the majestic Cooper River Bridge.
On Wednesday nights, mysterious activity comes aboard the boat. Here’s how Charleston Harbor Tours bills the event: The year is 1920 and you are one of the honored few, hand-selected by Andrew Wheeler himself, to attend the grand re-opening of your favorite speakeasy, Old Hickory. That pesky 18th Amendment may have closed the doors of the onshore location, but it has not outplayed your host! Old Hickory is re-opening offshore, aboard the The Carolina Queen paddleboat.
So wear your 1920s attire and get ready for an evening of suspense and intrigue.
