Battleship IOWA Guided President's Tour + Self-Guided Experience

Walk in the Footsteps of Presidents on the Battleship of Presidents

It's November 1943, and Battleship IOWA is on a covert mission. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his entire staff are aboard, headed for pivotal top-secret meetings with English Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet Premier Josef Stalin. What should be a routine Atlantic crossing nearly turns deadly for Roosevelt and leads to the "arrest" of the entire crew of a US destroyer.

What happened? Find out on our PRESIDENTS TOUR.

This exclusive guided glimpse into areas not accessible on the standard self-guided route features a visit to the famous Captain's Cabin, home to the only bathtub still in existence on a Navy warship installed for a sitting U.S. president. Stand where history was made, hear epic tales of diplomacy, and marvel at an unforgettable snapshot of life aboard one of America’s most iconic ships.

Your tour also includes full access to the IOWA Experience, where you can explore five decks of interactive exhibits, hear sailor stories, and participate in the family-friendly Vicky the Dog scavenger hunt.
