Ship Tours: What You Need To Know

The active duty ships will be open to the public from daily from Friday, May 22rd through Monday, May 25th, 2025. Here’s a quick list of helpful things to know when you come down to the harbor to see them:

Go Aboard:

The ships will be berthed in San Pedro’s Outer Harbor and the ONLY WAY to go aboard an active duty ship will be to catch a SHUTTLE BUS.

All adults must present a valid government-issued ID (state ID card, driver’s license or passport) to take Navy ship tours. Non-US citizens must show valid passports and will be subject to a brief additional screening before boarding the vessels. Photocopies of IDs will not be accepted

Ship Tour Lines:

Before getting in line for the shuttle bus, all guests must join the digital line queue and be assigned a time to get in line.

Please note: these instructions are for the shuttles, not the queue to board the ships at the outer harbor.

To enter the digital line queue, follow these instructions:

1. Arrive into the city of San Pedro between May 22 and May 25, 2026
2. Make sure location services are enabled on your mobile phone
3. Visit getinline.lafleetweek.org 
4. Submit your name and contact details to enter the digital queue 
5. Monitor your phone for instructions and updates. You will be notified when it is your time to enter the shuttle line for active duty ship tours

Restrictions:

• Visitors must be at least 5 years of age
• No strollers permitted on the ships
• Visitors must be able to walk unassisted without the aid of supporting devices for access to the vessels
• Visitors must be able to walk through tight spaces and up and down steep ladders
• No public restrooms are available aboard the ships, but will be on the dock
