About this tour

See Norfolk from the water on a two-hour cruise along the Elizabeth River, where the city’s historic skyline and passing Navy vessels set the scene for lunch. Board at Otter Berth in downtown Norfolk, settle at your table, and enjoy a freshly prepared buffet as the river views unfold.

The attended buffet offers a range of dishes, with coffee, tea, and iced tea included. After lunch, take a stroll on the outdoor decks for a closer look at the waterfront and open-air views. Alcoholic drinks are available to purchase. The ship’s interior is non-smoking, while smoking is permitted on the outdoor observation decks.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.52 from 109 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 5.9.
