Family Sleepovers on board the Star of India!

Join us for an imaginary voyage back to the19th Century.

Embarcadero-The Maritime Museum of San Diego invites you and your family to step back in time and spend a night on board the world’s oldest, active sailing ship. Experience what life was like for immigrants and crew who lived aboard the Star of India. This imaginary voyage will begin on Saturday, July 18th at 2:30 pm and end on Sunday, July 19th at 9:00 am. The cost of admission is $45 for museum members and $65 for non-members. The program includes dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday.
Visiting passengers will have the opportunity to help set sail, move cargo, and stand watch aboard one of the most historically significant ships in the world. This program is very popular and it typically sells out, so we strongly encourage early reservations. Family Sleepovers will also take place on August 22-23rd and September 12-13th.
Please note that the ship does not leave the dock during this program. We recommend little sailors are at least 6 years old to participate. For more information and reservations call 619-234-9153 ext. 124 or visit our website at
