Highlights
Step aboard the USS Yorktown for a guided evening experience combining a ghost tour, behind-the-scenes access, and hands-on paranormal investigation. This VIP tour goes beyond the standard route, offering a deeper look inside the historic aircraft carrier.
Itinerary
Venture into restricted areas including Officers’ Country, the Chief Petty Officers’ Quarters, the Fo’c’s’le, and the Captain’s Cabin. Along the way, your guide will share stories of the sailors who lived and worked aboard the Yorktown, the history of these rarely explored spaces, and accounts of unexplained activity reported aboard the ship.
Then, you’ll have the opportunity to investigate for yourself.
Using paranormal investigation equipment and techniques, you’ll take part in guided investigations throughout the ship. Listen for unexplained sounds, watch for unusual activity, ask questions, and experience the Yorktown after dark—when the crowds are gone and the ship takes on an entirely different atmosphere.
