Enjoy getting acquainted with this historical city and some of its most well-known attractions on this mostly panoramic tour.

Due to its strategic location at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and an extensive deep-water harbor, Norfolk was the main American port for trade with England and the West Indies until the mid-18th century. Today, it is the second largest commercial port on the East Coast of the United States and a bustling city teeming with sights honoring its history. Norfolk is also home of the world's largest naval base.

Start off by learning about Norfolk's colorful 330 year history as you ride through the lovely historic district and restored areas. As you make your way throughout the city, you'll view the stately homes along the Hague, old St. Paul's Church - which still has a cannonball embedded in an outer wall from the British bombardment of 1776 - , the Moses Myers House, the Chrysler Museum of Art, the historic Freemason District, the restored waterfront area, and several other points of interest. Downtown Norfolk has undergone a complete transformation in the last decade and features the beautifully renovated Town Point Park with the Armed Forces memorial, a brand new $34 milliion cruise terminal, waterfront condos and a state of the art shopping area.

Continuing on, you'll enjoy a panoramic tour from your coach of Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval installation in the world. Home port to over 100 ships, 26 aircraft squadrons and headquarters of the Atlantic Fleet, the base occupies over 8,000 acres of land and is home to more than 100,000 military personnel. Your tour will take you past the piers, where you will see submarines and aircraft carriers, and numerous other types of vessels. You'll also drive through the Naval Air Station, home of the Navy's E2C Hawkeyes, and past the beautifully landscaped historic homes built for the 1907 Jamestown Exposition on "Admiral's Row" which now house the flag officers.

Lastly you will visit the MacArthur Memorial, final resting place of five star General Douglas MacArthur and his beloved wife, Jean. View the artifacts, documents, photographs and memorabilia housed in Norfolk's historic city hall which not only trace the life and times of General MacArthur, but the military history of the United States. You will also have the opportunity to view the 25 minute film which chronicles General MacArthur’s life. Nine separate galleries arranged in two levels circle the rotunda and tell the story of General MacArthur and the millions of American men and women who served in the United States Armed Forces from the Civil War through the Korean War. A gift shop with unique memorabilia is located on the premises.

At the conclusion of the tour, you will have the option of being dropped off in downtown Norfolk at the MacArthur Center for some free time for shopping, or return directly to pier. For those who elect to remain in town, it's a brief five minute walk back to the pier from the MacArthur Center.

Note: This tour includes limited walking, mostly at the guests' discretion. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have an able-bodied companion to assist them.

The MacArthur Memorial Site is closed on Mondays and will be substitued with a visit to the Chrysler Museum. less

This experience is the perfect opportunity to get up-close with stingrays right from the beach as you enjoy a private island getaway. The Southern Stingray can grow up to four feet in diameter and Balmoral Island is the only location in Nassau where you can interact with this species of ray.

Upon arrival on the island, you will be greeted by the staff, given a short orientation, and then break into smaller groups for your stingray encounter. After filling out the required paperwork and waiver, your guide will give you an orientation on the stingrays and what to expect. You will then walk down to the water and wade out to a waist-deep depth where you will have an up-close meeting with a ray.

For approximately the next 30 minutes, your trainer will introduce you to the ray, let you pet it, feed it and even hold it for a photo that can be purchased later. At the end of your encounter, you will have the option to rent snorkel gear and snorkel in the stingray encounter area to further experience the rays in their natural habitat.

The rest of the day is then yours to enjoy by doing as much or as little as you please. On the sugar white beach, you can lounge on your included lounge chair or enjoy the refreshing azure blue Bahamian water. You’ll have unlimited complimentary use of noodles, and inner-tubes are available as well. Additional non-motorized water activities including snorkel gear and kayaks are available for rent. There is also a heated fresh water pool nearby. For added luxury, there are a limited number of poolside cabanas for rent in four hour increments, on a first come basis.

When it’s time to quench your thirst, there are several different bars on the island, each with its own mood, including a frozen tropical drink bar where frozen margaritas, daiquiris and Pina coladas await. For food options, The Market offers something for everyone, from small snacks to complete meals of fresh sandwiches, salads and wraps. The Market even features the only Starbucks® on a private island.

For your convenience, restrooms are located around the island as well as fresh water showers and foot baths. Umbrellas are available on the beach on a first-come basis and there is plenty of shade to be found on one of the patios or bars.

Note: This tour includes a limited amount of walking, primarily at the guests’ discretion on the island. There will be a 10-minute walk to and from the meeting point and once on the island, surfaces there are asphalt and sand. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests. Swimwear; sun cap; sunglasses; bio-degradable sunscreen (for the health of the marine life and coral); a towel; cash or credit cards (no AMEX) for optional purchases; and flat, comfortable beach shoes are recommended. For the welfare of the stingrays, loose items such as jewelry and cameras or items with a strap cannot be taken into the water. Storage will be provided during your interaction. The minimum age to participate is 5 years old and children 5-17 years old must be accompanied by one paying adult on the island who will also sign the waiver for them. Food and alcohol cannot be brought onto the island and any food or alcohol discovered upon arrival at the island will be confiscated and disposed of.
