About Specialty Tours

Rates

These tours are for visitors who want a behind-the-scenes or themed look at our exhibitions and the ship’s restored spaces. Led by long-time volunteers and Navy veterans, these multi-hour tours take participants throughout the ship to spaces unavailable to the Museum’s daily visitors.
