Enjoy a Norfolk buffet cruise on the Elizabeth River, with skyline views, freshly prepared dishes, and music aboard the Spirit of Norfolk.

About this tour

See Norfolk from the water on a buffet cruise along the Elizabeth River, with views of the city skyline and Navy vessels. Choose a brunch, lunch, or dinner sailing aboard the Spirit of Norfolk and settle in for a relaxed outing with food, music, and room to take in the waterfront.

After boarding, find your table and enjoy a buffet of freshly prepared dishes. The menu varies by cruise; the sample dinner menu features salads, seasonal vegetables, several entrees, and desserts. Coffee, tea, and other beverages are included, while alcoholic drinks are available for purchase. Between bites, step outside to the expansive patio deck or enjoy the ship’s climate-controlled interior. Music or DJ entertainment adds to the atmosphere as the boat travels along the river.

Norfolk buffet cruise guests can admire the historic skyline and nearby Navy vessels from the decks, then return to the dock after the sailing. Arrive at Otter Berth at least 30 minutes before departure, and book your whole party together if you want to sit as a group. Choose your preferred meal and experience Norfolk buffet cruise views from the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.41 from 328 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Norfolk
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 4.9.
