Port Norfolk VA cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Norfolk VA, Virginia. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Norfolk VA is a major port city in southeastern Virginia (USA). It borders to the west Elizabeth River and to the north - Chesapeake Bay (Atlantic Ocean). The city has population around 250,000 (metro 1,67 million), ranking it the Virginia state's second-largest - after Virginia Beach (around 450,000 / metro 1,72 million). Four cities (Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Hampton) form together the Hampton Roads Metro featuring one of the world's largest natural harbours.

As an exclusive CCL-Carnival homeport (since 2002), Norfolk's main competitors are the homeports Baltimore MD and Charleston SC (another CCL-exclusive departure port in the USA). Currently, Norfolk's cruise business generates ~USD 153 million annually (in direct spending by cruise companies and passengers/crew), ~USD 170 million in Virginia state wages, and supports ~2800 local jobs.

Norfolk is an "independent city" (not part of any US county) and borders with two of the state's independent cities - Chesapeake (south) and Virginia Beach (east). Norfolk is considered Hampton Roads region's historic, cultural and financial center. It is also a major US military seaport, having the world's largest shipbuilding and shiprepair yard, Here are based US Marine, US Navy's Atlantic Fleet, USCG (Coast Guard), Armed Forces Staff College, Langley Air Force Base (astronaut training centre).

Popular among tourists neighboring leisure and travel destinations are Virginia Beach. Williamsburg and Jamestown. The city is at less than 2 hours drive distance from Richmond, 3 hours from Northern Virginia and 3 hours from Raleigh. The cruise port benefits greatly from the Norfolk International Airport offering 200 flights daily. The airport is just 15-20 min taxi drive from the cruise terminal. Other popular city attractions are the Chrysler Museum and Mariners Museum (with USA's largest mariner artifacts collection - maps, ship models, watercraft, paintings, scrimshaw/bone or ivory engravings and carvings).

The town was established in 1682 and its early growth was based on West Indies trade and shipping of products from North Carolina's and Virginia's plantations. However, virtually all buildings (except St Paul's Church) were destroyed during the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). The city was rebuilt after the war and became an important maritime and shipbuilding center. Its military growth started during WW1 (1914-1918).

In 2022 started works on the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel/HRBT Expansion Project, by the contractor Hampton Roads Connector Partners (HRCP). The company contracted Herrenknecht AG (1977-founded German manufacturer of tunnel boring machines). In 14 months, Herrenknecht constructed (in Schwanau Germany) a large TBM/Tunnel Boring Machine which was shipped (via Antwerp Belgium) to Norfolk VA where was reassembled.

• The TBM has height 46 ft (14 m), length 430 ft (131 m), weight 4500 tons, total power output 8,95 MW (12000 hp).
• The TBM was launched from the South Island (Norfolk side) and bore at a daily rate of ~50 ft (15 m).
• The HRBT Expansion Project's completion is scheduled for November 2025.
• The project (budgeted USD 3,3 billion) was approved in 2017. Works started in October 2020. By the project will be expanded the current 4-lane bridge-tunnel to 6-lanes (in both directions from the interchanges I-664 to I-564), and a new 3-lane bridge-tunnel will be built to carry the eastbound Hampton-Norfolk traffic.

Port Norfolk

As port of call (on transit itineraries), the Port's business expands each year. Among the large cruise shipping companies visiting Norfolk VA are AIDA , TUI , Princess , NCL-Norwegian , plus several luxury lines with smaller vessels (like Silversea , RSSC-Regent , Oceania , ACL-American Cruise Lines ).

Currently, CCL-Carnival Cruise Line is the only company that homeports ships here (since 2002). Among the port's newly added amenities are Wi-Fi (throughout the waterfront area) and new bike lanes (cycle lanes) throughout the city.

Port Norfolk VA (locode USORF) is located in Hampton Roads Harbor (along the rivers Elizabeth and Lafayette) and is managed by Virginia Port Authority. It covers land area approx 2,3 km2 (567 acres/230 hectares), of which 131 acres (0,5 km2) are for container storage.

Norfolk International Terminals is Virginia's largest cargo facility served by Super Post-Panamax gantry cranes (rail-mounted), The terminal has 6 berths and total quay length/berthing of 2020 m (6630 ft) and max draft 15 m (50 ft). This allows docking of large container ships/boxships with max capacity 14000 TEU-containers. Port's current annual capacity is around 1,43 million TEUs. It also offers 719 plugs for reefers (refrigerated containers). Norfolk's container terminal is divided into 3 sections - South (4 berths, area size 272 acres / 1,1 km2), North (2 berths, area 245 acres / 1 km2), and Central (50 acres / 0,2 km2).

The seaport has direct rail access to Heartland Corridor (railway serving freight trains) and is also connected to North Carolina Highway 42. The Port is adjacent to highways 64 and 564, and via Terminal Blvd to Hampton Blvd (Norfolk City), with additional access to roads 17 and 58.

In November 2016, Port Norfolk and Konecranes (Finnish crane manufacturer) signed a USD 217 million contract for building and delivering 86 rail-mounted gantry cranes. The US company TMEIC is the supplier of cranes' drive and control systems.

In July 2018, a heavy-load vessel delivered at Norfolk Terminals the first 6 rail-mounted gantry cranes - part of the USD 375 million port expansion project. Construction works for expanding the NIT (Norfolk International Terminals) started in 2019 and were completed in 2020. By this 3-phases project, the Port's south stack container yard was completely redesigned and fitted with 60 new RMGs (rail-mounted gantry cranes), 10 new shuttle trucks, a total of 30 new RMG TEU stacks. Norfolk Port's annual capacity was increased by 400,000 TEUs (up to 1,83 million).

In August 2019, to the Chesapeake VA-based company Cottrell Contracting (1928-founded) was awarded a USD 10,4 million contract for dredging Norfolk Harbor's Inner Channel. The works started in December with scheduled completion in May 2020, and include pumping of ~840,000 m3 (29,7 million ft3) of sediment from the shipping channel and transporting it to Portsmouth VA's Craney Island. Such dredging works are conducted by the US Army Corps of Engineers (federal agency) and in Norfolk Harbor Channel are required every 12-15 months.

In February 2020, CCL-Carnival signed a 5-year agreement with Norfolk City for seasonal homeporting at Half Moone Cruise Center (2020 through 2025). The deal was signed by Kenneth Alexander (Norfolk City Mayor) and Terry Thornton (CCL's Senior VP of Nautical and Port Operations). As part of the agreement, Norfolk City agreed to upgrade and expand the Half Moone Terminal for handling larger ships and to expedite the traffic by installing a PBB (Passenger Boarding Bridge).

In 2021 started the seasonal homeporting in Norfolk VA of the 4700-passenger liner Carnival Magic - the Port's ever-largest cruise vessel). Season 2021 included a series of 12 roundtrips and seasonal capacity ~50,000 tourists. Carnival Magic's 2023 ex-Norfolk season was CCL's ever-longest - 6 months (May 14th thru October 22nd).

The ship's ex-Norfolk itineraries (roundtrips leaving from Nauticus Half Moone Cruise Center) visit ports in The Bahamas (5-6-day to Bimini Island, Nassau , Freeport , Half Moon Cay ), Eastern Caribbean (8-day to Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk , Amber Cove Dominicana , San Juan Puerto Rico ), Bermuda (6-day to King's Wharf ), Canada and New England (8-day to Portland ME, St John NB, Halifax NS, Sydney NS).

CCL's voyages from Norfolk to the Caribbean include 4 sea days (2 southbound plus 2 northbound).

Norfolk VA cruise terminal

Cruise ships in Port Norfolk VA dock at Nauticus Half Moone Cruise Terminal (officially "Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center", aka "Decker Half Moone Center"). This modern facility (construction cost USD 36 million) was inaugurated in 2007. It is located in downtown, on the city's Nauticus Waterfront on the Elizabeth River.

The Nauticus terminal is also close to Norfolk Airport (taxi travel time approx 15 min).

The cruise ship terminal has its own parking area (day rates USD 15) and provides shuttle bus service to and from the terminal.The facility is sized 80,000 ft2 (7430 m2 / 1,8 acres). It is adjacent to the Nauticus (maritime-themed museum and science center) and the museum ship USS Wisconsin (Iowa-class battleship launched in 1943). Throughout the year, the waterfront's Town Point Park area hosts popular festivals and various public events.

As the size of homeported here cruise liners constantly grow, the seaport considers a development project to expand the terminal's berth to allow docking of the world's largest passenger ships .

"LIVE" Web Cam from Cruise Norfolk !

I found a nice LIVE Webcam for ships that are sailing from the new Cruise Terminal in Norfolk.

The LIVE Cam is actually located at the Nauticus Maritime Museum.

Currently the Empress of the Seas is docked there. I will be touring the Empress today, and should be able to post some pics of the new Passenger Terminal, and interior and exterior pics of the Empress.

Radio--That is pretty cool!! And, such a nice picture too!! I'll have to remember to save this one link. Thanks.

Great! Please post pictures if you can. Can you tell me where the JS are located? Are they below the lifeboats?

Hello everyone... I drove home last night after the Ship Tour. Wow...what a long drive. It took me 5 hours to get home .

I will have to say that the City of Norfolk did a wonderful job with the new Cruise Passenger Terminal. (Half Moone Cruise Celebration Center) The name is a little long, but the facility is superb.

The facility is 80,000 square ft, and cost 36 million. WoW..... if I was Royal Caribbean, I would have have pulled Grandeur from Baltimore next summer to go to Norfolk :-) The Baltimore terminal (Cruise Maryland is nice.... (60,000 sq ft, 13 million) It is just that the Cruise Norfolk terminal is a masterpiece !

The ship tour went well. . .I boarded the terminal at 11am, and we boarded the Empress by 1130am. We had to be off the Ship by 3Pm so she could start her 7 night Cruise to Bermuda. Not much had changed since I toured the ship last July in Philadelphia, but I wanted to see the Empress for (maybe) the last time before RCI sends her over to RCCL (Pullmantour) in 2008.

Here are a few pics. . . Many more can be viewed by clicking HERE .

Wow!! As always, great pics, Radio!! You're so great to do this for us. Thanks so much.

Here are a few more. . .

FWIW. . . I drove down to Norfolk using the VA Western shore (RT97/ RT 301/RT 17/ RT 64.

I drove back to Baltimore on the VA/MD Eastern Shore (Over/through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel)

Both routes took me approx 5 hours.

I am thinking about taking the Interstate when I go again in June (Carnival Victory) usin RT95 and RT64

Radio, thanks for the pictures!:) I've sailed out of Norfolk several times before the new terminal was built, and your pictures have provided a sneak peek of what we'll see when we board Empress to Bermuda in two weeks. I've had the webcam link but for some reason I can't get it to work now. (I get a little red X in the upper left hand corner.) One of the local TV stations had a cam on the downtown area when Horizon sailed out of Norfolk in 2004 and 2005, and it was fun being able to take a look at the ship at arrival and departure.

Be sure to leave early if you are heading to Norfolk on Saturday A.M. Since beach season is upon us, that 95-64 drive takes longer than at other times of the year; its not unusual to drive over 95 here in Fredericksburg on the weekends and see traffic at a standstill. Think Ocean City and the old Bay Bridge traffic and you'll know what I mean!;)

AWESOME PICTURES!!! Thank you. When you drive from DC to Norfolk, the roads can be horrendus. Try not to come on a Fri night. The traffic on 64 is sometimes worse than 95.

weary traveler

so lovely ... thank you Radio.. i love to do ship inspections.. just hate to see everyone coming on when i have to depart prior to sailing lol.. any idea how far the cruise terminal is from the airport for us thinking of Norfolk as an alternative port? i can do providence to baltimore by southwest for 39 bucks most times.. would be curious to know how far and how much to transfer on my own..

KarenConley

I have seen a lot of pictures taken of different ships but yours certainly are the best of I ever seen. The pictures of the new terminal are wonderful--what an improvement over the other terminal--I went out of her on 05 on Carnival Triumph--nice to see so many seats to sit in. I am planning on taking the Grandeur of the Seas out of Norfolk next year either in June 07 or July to the eastern carribean. It sure looks like things should move smoothly. Keep up the pictures.

Very nice pictures..........looks like Norfolk made a major investment for the future.........

The Norfolk Airport is only about 15 min from the Pier.

The cost is 22.50 PP or 45.00 RT PP. . . . I would say it is worth it. :rolleyes:

I stayed in the Holiday Inn Select, that was very close to the Airport.

Here are a few more pics of my tour on Empress of the Seas...

Hi Radio, Thanks for the beautiful pics:)I have to ask you a question a little off topic,but who is the artist and title you put on your explorer 9 nite video?I'd like to add it to my Ipod to enjoy on our sailing in august.   Thanx in advance. Liz

Thanks for the nice comments. The first song from the Explorer 9nt Video is from Jan Hammer. The Album is Beyond the Minds Eye. The song is Pyramid.

The second song from the video is from Walt Szalva, and the title is Metropolis. This is from the soundtrack to a PC Simulation (SimCity4)

Many of the songs from my videos have music from these artists.

great pics, thank you for sharing...

Thank you so much.Can't wait to tune in to your next "Live" Have a Great time on your cruise.

Jr Suites are above the lifeboats. We have had JS on the Empress both times we sailed on her. They are the smallest JRs in the fleet, but still verynice. She is a very nice ship. Hope you have a great time.

Thank you so much.Can't wait to tune in to your next "Live" Have a Great time on your cruise.   Liz

Thanks Liz. . . Next "Live" will be in July ! I go on another Ship tour in June, but it will not be RCI.:(

Great pictures thanks! But I am confused - you said that with the new Norfolk terminal RC shld pull the Grandeur out of Baltimore. But I think they doing that next summer. The web site is showing Grandeur cruises leaving from Norfolk in 2008. Did I misunderstand something?

Thanks for the info Terri. I have been squinting at Radio's photos. We've never had anything but an inside on any ship so no matter how small, it will seem big to us.:D

Hi Radio -   Great pictures thanks! But I am confused - you said that with the new Norfolk terminal RC shld pull the Grandeur out of Baltimore. But I think they doing that next summer. The web site is showing Grandeur cruises leaving from Norfolk in 2008. Did I misunderstand something?

What I meant was , that if Norfolk showed me their plans for a new terminal, I would have pulled Grandeur out of Baltimore for Summer '08 too ! (Like they did)

Grandeur will be sailing now from Baltimore during the spring and fall of 2008. She will be in Norfolk for 2008 Summer. . . Now I have found out why.

But at least we will have her here in Baltimore for April-May-Sept-Oct-Nov

. . . and Norwegian will be sailing 10 cruises from Baltimore during the summer of 2008.

Were my pics too small ? I can make them larger ?

Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center

The Half Moone Center is located on Nauticus’ along the downtown Norfolk waterfront. The 80,000 sq. ft. facility is home to Virginia’s only cruise ship program. Cruise Norfolk offers passengers a unique setting from which to begin and end their cruise as it shares its space with Nauticus’ Maritime Discovery Center, sailing center and the historic Battleship Wisconsin.

In 2023, Cruise Norfolk hosted nearly 250,000 unique cruise passenger visits – by far the busiest cruise season in Norfolk’s history. Norfolk will become the east coast’s newest year-round cruise port in 2025 when Carnival begins sailing from downtown each week. In preparation, Nauticus’ Half Moone Cruise Center is undergoing $12 million in enhancements. This guest-focused project consists of an inclined walkway for debarking passengers, additional seating for guests waiting to board, and an improved ground transportation design.

Featuring 54-foot windows to the spectacular views of the Elizabeth River and the metro skyline, the Half Moone Cruise & Celebration Center is the perfect venue for weddings and other gatherings.
