Description:
Head down to Norfolk's exciting Waterside and step aboard the Spirit of Norfolk for an evening of unparalleled cruising fun on the historic Elizabeth River.

You'll know you're in for a special evening the moment you step aboard our elegant decks and are escorted to your candlelit table.

Your waiter will invite you to our Grande Dinner Buffet, where you can sample a little bit of everything, or just select your favorite fare. Everything is freshly prepared in our shipboard galley and served in the true manner of an ocean-going cruise buffet.

Savor your culinary selections over perfectly-paced dinner music and beautiful views of Norfolk's unique skyline seen through our huge panoramic windows. Truly, a sight you won't soon forget!

After dinner, take your drinks topside and relax on the largest outdoor patio deck in town. It's a wonderful pause before the music entices you onto the dance floor.

The perfect end to the perfect night.
