There are a few choices for cruises out of Virginia Beach. The oceanfront city is a natural place to enjoy a day cruise.
If you're looking for an overnight ocean-going cruise, you want one of the cruises from Norfolk VA, which is a busy port next to Virginia Beach. Cruises to the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada and the Caribbean are available from there year round.
The Virginia Aquarium dolphin-watching cruises are popular boat trips from Virginia Beach. The trips may see dolphins, seabirds and sea turtles. Staff and volunteers help you understand the wildlife.
Rudee Tours dolphin-watching cruises also leave from Virginia Beach. The boat trip is 90 minutes on a 65-foot catamaran. A snack bar has food and drinks. The same company operates the Rudee Rocket speed boat cruises along the oceanfront. It's a fast, fun boat ride.
