Victory Rover Naval Base Cruise - Norfolk, Virginia

As America celebrates Veterans Day 2023, we want to share with you our recent experience on the Victory Rover's Norfolk Naval Base Cruise. In this experience, we sailed past Naval Station Norfolk, home port of the US Navy's Fleet Forces Command. It is also the home base for four carrier strike groups and their assigned ships, as well as Atlantic Fleet's submarines. In addition to the largest navy base in the world, the tour also took us past the Port of Virginia and a number of other points of interest. You'll even hear from a family friend who joined us on this tour as he shares about his time in the US Navy and at Naval Station Norfolk.

such a lovely naval base, nice view

[@trvlnthru]

This two hour cruise really did give us a great view of the Naval base. It was a fascinating tour. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@GrampsWizarding]

Very cool video I'm just bummed because I was just there on the Carnival Magic but didn't know that tour existed...Thanks for sharing and the great info.... cruising out of Norfolk and passing Naval Yard was really cool ..

[@trvlnthru]

Very cool that you cruised out of Norfolk. And I am glad you at least got to see the Navy yard as you departed. I hope you are able to come doe this tour at some point in the future. It was fascinating. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@GrampsWizarding]

[@TheJourneyAwaits]

Lol chairs for Giants. This is a unique cruise. 👍

[@AlphaTraveler1]

Like 1! What a cool time. We did a cruise like this only near DC but not Norfolk. Thanks for showing. 😂

[@Panos835]

Nice pics !!! Thanks for sharing Subscribed 👍

[@TravelswithVandSteve]

We both love a harbor cruise and it was interesting to see Norfolk. I had an uncle stationed there many, many years ago (before your family member) and I always wondered what the area looked like. I didn't know there was a cruise terminal there. The boat looked nice. Lovely story about the USS New York. Interesting boat ride, thank you for sharing. Fabulous Brad could tick something off his bucket list.

[@destinationdero]

So many cool Navy ships. Nice vlog.

[@JenniferandMark2014]

Very interesting cruise and experience. Lots to see and learn about. They also had Herr's chips! Lol! That's a big deal where I'm from because they are hard to find around here. Motions sickness is never fun, but if you ever get sick, just film it and include it in your vlog. 😂 Jk!! Awesome video!!! I will try my best to stay caught up as well as I can, now that our fall-holiday travels are winding down.

[@TheTolleRoad]

Would love to take this tour. USS Cole and USS New York? Very cool! Great release on Veterans Day!

[@SantosChronicles]

I have never heard of this before. Boat cruises are so fun and something our family would love. The ships around there are huge. We don’t see that in Lake MI 😂. Out of all the channels I watch you guys put so much research on your videos. I remember USS Cole, cool they fixed it up. Didn’t realize there was a fleet there. Cool you had a Navy vet with you. Thanks for taking us around.

[@trvlnthru]

Boat cruises are always a great way to see a town along a harbor or lake or river. I used to really enjoy them but starting a few years ago, boats started giving me motion sickness - which is why I stayed on land for this one. But it is impressive to see the Navy's Atlantic fleet parked along the docks at the base in Norfolk. It is cool that they were able to fix the USS Cole and that it is still in service to this day. Thanks for noticing how much research we do. We try to add some interesting information along the way in our travels. Thanks so much for watching - and for taking the time to comment!

[@HeatherTravels]

One of my favorite things to do in coastal cities is to take a harbor tour. This is one that particularly interests me because of the large naval presence, since both my sons have a strong interest in pursuing a career in the Navy.

[@trvlnthru]

That is great that both of your sons aspire to have a career in the Navy. That is a great ambition to have. We wish them both luck in the Navy (or wherever else life takes them). It is always fascinating to see the Navy fleet docked along the harbor at the base. It is something Norfolk is very proud of. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@ALifeintheParks]

The Navel Base was great, I remember the attack on the USS Cole which were an ominous precursor to 9/11. I didn’t know about some of the steel from that tragedy being in the construction of the USS New York. Such a sad synergy.

[@HUNG999]

Large naval base with many large, modern ships

[@trvlnthru]

Thanks so much for watching our video about the Victory Rover cruise. The ships were impressive!

[@camello52]

Is the tour opetational now? Saw on trip advisor that Oct 2023 boat rover and bus tour been shut down for years

[@trvlnthru]

Yes. It is still operational. Google Victory Rover Naval Cruise and you will find it. The bus tour of the base closed in 2020. But my understanding is that they will be starting bus tours again soon . Thanks for watching!
