Visiting Ships & Tours

Throughout Fleet Week, thousands of visitors climb aboard amphibious carriers, destroyers and cruisers docked at the Embarcadero to get a glimpse into the day-to-day lives of the sailors serving in the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Coast Guard.

We have several guides on this site to help you with information about planning your experience at Fleet Week under "Plan Your Trip".

All ship tours are free of charge and queue forms on a first come, first served basis.

NO BACKPACKS on ship tours.

THERE ARE NO HOLDING AREAS FOR PERSONAL ITEMS SUCH AS, BICYCLES, BABY STROLLERS, STROLLERS, SCOOTERS, PETS etc.

Due to security reasons, all such items will not be permitted to remain on or near the pier areas.

For security reasons, all such items will be removed from the pier and may be searched or otherwise disposed of.
