We really enjoyed the cruise today. We sat on the port side when leaving. Things of interest were mentioned and pointed out on the starboard side. Our only disappointment was points of interest weren’t repeated on the return journey when we could actually see them.

Despite the weather, this was an amazing cruise up the river @ sunset. Staff was amazing and the cruise itself was super chill and there were dolphins!

Sunset cruise on the American Rover at Waterside in Norfolk, VA. It was a truly amazing two hours around Norfolk and Portsmouth on the Elizabeth River. The crew were very engaging with passengers. They helped make this a very memorable event. Highly recommended this cruise.
