Admiral Hornblower

Get ready to set sail in style. The Admiral has undergone a stunning transformation—featuring sleek new marble bars, state-of-the-art TVs, refined fixtures, and a reimagined space designed for an elegant dining experience on the water.


Experience the return of a classic—renewed, refreshed, and more luxurious than ever accommodating groups of 40 - 600. 


The Admiral Hornblower has it all: Three spacious, climate-controlled salons. Backlit fiber optic infused bars, Wi-Fi throughout the ship, Captains Lounge and Pilot House view. Add to that, expansive open-air sun decks offering sweeping panoramic San Diego vistas and you have San Diego “afloat”.
