노퍽의 정기를 맞이하는 시티 크루즈
Two years after a fire destroyed our Spirit of Mount Vernon vessel, we now welcome its predecessor, the Spirit of Norfolk. In partnership with USO of Hampton Roads, Visit Norfolk, and other community partners, we are proud to have had military families as the first to sail this new yacht. The 153-foot three-level dining vessel was renamed after the Spirit of Mount Vernon was destroyed in a fire in 2022. Military families enjoyed a free two-hour cruise along the Elizabeth River. The Spirit of Norfolk has been an important part of this Virginia community since 1978. It has proudly served as a place where everyone in the region can celebrate their most important milestones and create memories with close family and friends, and that legacy can now continue once again!
Step aboard the Spirit of Norfolk and enjoy an unforgettable experience filled with delicious dining, lively entertainment, and stunning views along the Elizabeth River.
