Climb aboard the ARC Gloria Ship at the Embarcadero Pier 15/17 and get a glimpse into the day-to-day lives of the sailors serving in the Columbian Sailors.
Join us on the San Francisco waterfront to tour visiting ships docked at the Port of San Francisco and experience what life is like for the sailors who serve aboard them — including our visiting Colombian and Canadian naval crews. Step aboard, explore the decks, and get a firsthand glimpse into their day-to-day duties at sea.
We have several guides on this site to help you with information about planning your experience at Fleet Week under "Plan Your Trip".
