The buffet was delicious with plenty of choices for everyone, and the views of the Navy ships and city skyline were breathtaking. The DJ kept the atmosphere lively, and the games on the roof deck were a big hit with our kids. Highly recommend for a fun and relaxing outing! > — Mark T., March 2024 > This cruise was the perfect mid-day escape. The staff was attentive, the food was fresh and tasty, and the narration helped us learn about the sights along the Elizabeth River. The indoor climate control made it comfortable no matter the weather. Definitely a great way to experience Norfolk from the water. > — Sarah G., January 2024 > Really enjoyed the Spirit of Norfolk lunch cruise. It was a unique experience to see the Atlantic Fleet from the water while enjoying a buffet and entertainment. The combination of narrated tour and DJ music was unexpected but fun. Will definitely do this again next time I'm in Norfolk. > — James L., February 2024
