Say it with us.

Lots of destinations claim to be unique, but do they say it on a Battleship in the heart of downtown? Or from a chef’s table at one of 600+ indie restaurants? We didn’t think so. Maybe it’s Norfolk’s renowned art scene or our 144 miles of coastline that give us the edge. Either way, our one-of-a-kind spirit delivers a vacation experience that always makes you the main attraction.
