Battleship IOWA: Guided President's Tour + Life of a Sailor Experience
About this experience
Tour the Battleship IOWA, where President Franklin D. Roosevelt sailed in 1943 for the Casablanca and Tehran Conferences.
Learn about its near-catastrophic friendly fire incident and its unique history as the only U.S. Navy vessel whose crew was once arrested and then pardoned by a sitting president.
This guided tour offers access to special areas like the Captain’s Cabin, which has the only presidential bathtub on a Navy warship. Hear stories of diplomacy, danger, and daily life at sea.
Your tour also includes full access to our Life of a Sailor self-guided experience, where you'll explore seven decks of interactive exhibits, hear sailor stories, and join the family-friendly Vicky the Dog scavenger hunt.
End your visit with a trip to the ship's store and a famous hot dog from Vicky's Doghouse.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
