TripHip - Travel Tips and Advice for Traveling on a Budget

If you're going to be in Norfolk, Virginia, a must-see event is to take a cruise aboard the Victory Rover. It's a two-hour cruise throughout Norfolk Harbor with a ship's-eye view of the Norfolk Naval Base.

The Victory Rover has comfortable seating both indoors and out (the cruises take place rain or shine), and of course there's a ship store with souvenirs and snacks. The cruise is narrated throughout.

The Victory Rover will cruise by cargo terminals, Old Fort Norfolk, Norfolk Southern Coal Piers, the Naval Hospital, downtown Norfolk's skyline, the Battleship Wisconsin, the shipyard and drydocks, the Monitor-Virginia (Merrimac) battle site, and the ships of the Atlantic Naval Fleet - destroyers, frigates, cruisers, submarines, amphibious assault ships and carriers.

You'll board the ship at Nauticus. There's plenty of parking there, by the way.
