Seattle Fleet Week Returns With Free U.S. Navy Ship Tours
Seattle Fleet Week is returning to the Seattle Waterfront, offering free tours of U.S. Navy ships.
Seattle Tacoma, WA, July 21, 2026 —
Seattle is preparing to welcome back its annual Fleet Week celebration, an event that provides the public with an opportunity to visit and explore various U.S. Navy ships docked along the Seattle Waterfront.
The event, a tradition celebrating maritime heritage and the men and women of the U.S. Navy, will feature several vessels open for public tours. These tours offer a unique chance for community members to step aboard active Navy ships, learn about naval operations, and interact with service members.
Details regarding the specific dates and the types of U.S. Navy ships that will be available for tours during this year’s Fleet Week were not immediately available. However, in past years, the event has typically included a range of vessels, from destroyers and cruisers to submarines and auxiliaries.
Fleet Week events generally attract large crowds, with many residents and visitors taking advantage of the free access to these impressive military assets. The ships are usually open for a limited duration, often over a weekend, allowing ample time for interested parties to participate.
The U.S. Navy has historically used Fleet Week as a platform to connect with the public, foster goodwill, and showcase the capabilities and dedication of its personnel. Information about the schedule for tours and any associated public programs during Seattle Fleet Week will likely be released closer to the event dates.
