A San Diego cruise is one of the best ways to orient yourself with the city, see first-hand how San Diego is a strategic naval base, explore the waters and wildlife, and get sweeping skyline views of downtown, Coronado Island, and San Diego Harbor...
Is there a better deal in San Diego than the ferry? A scenic ride across the bay, amazing views, access to shopping, dining and activities on both sides of the bay, aboard a piece of San Diego history—all for $7! Here are just some of the reasons San Diegans love to ride the Flagship Ferry.

Aboard our whale watching tour off the San Diego coast last Friday, passengers were treated to a sighting of False Killer Whales. Identified by our onboard naturalist, False Killer Whales are similar in appearance to their cousins the Orca. They are more commonly seen in warmer, tropical waters, but a specific pod of 30-40 False Killer Whales has been making periodic spring visits to Southern California since 2014, providing a once-in-a-lifetime encounter for anyone lucky enough to see them.

As far as years go, you could do worse than 1915. In that year, Frank Sinatra was born, Einstein explained gravity, a postage stamp cost two cents and the U.S. still had yet to fight in a world war. And in May of 1915, a sixteen-vessel fleet that would become Flagship Cruises & Events began offering water transportation and 50-cent harbor tours on San Diego Bay. Today as Flagship celebrates our 105th anniversary, let's take a look at what life was like in San Diego back in 1915.

SAN DIEGO – Celebrating the company’s 100 years on San Diego Bay, Flagship Cruises & Events will debut two brand new cruise offerings this May. Flagship’s Hops on the Harbor dinner cruise sets sail Friday, May 15 in partnership with local craft breweries, and the Spirits at Sunset cocktail cruise will commence Friday, May 22. Both experiences offer San Diegans and visitors a new way to soak in sunset on the harbor and take in the city’s skyline at twilight.
Free jet boat rides, beer and wine tasting and live music at Flagship’s party on the harbor
While San Diego locals and visitors to San Diego can enjoy year-round leisurely cruises around the San Diego Bay, the world’s longest migration of grey whales only happens December through April. These magnificent mammals begin their yearly migration in early October and have been spotted in San Diego’s coastal waters a little earlier than usual this year.
