The San Diego Embarcadero is a major cruise ship hub and harbor in downtown San Diego, home to a wide variety of maritime-themed tourist attractions and retail establishments. The harbor's name means "gathering place" in Spanish and is located along the eastern side of San Diego Bay. It is home to the USS Midway Museum, which preserves the longest-serving aircraft carrier in America and showcases more than 35 exhibits on American maritime and naval military history, and the Maritime Museum of San Diego, which is home to one of the world's largest collections of historic ships. Outdoor recreational opportunities are offered at San Diego County Waterfront Park, while more than 50 shops and restaurants are found at the Seaport Village retail complex. Visitors should note that while the Embarcadero may be explored free of charge, many attractions within the harbor require individual ticket upcharges.
