Berthed at Nauticus, the Battleship Wisconsin is one of the largest and last battleships ever built by the U.S. Navy. Access to the Battleship Wisconsin is included in Nauticus admission. Explore its deck through a self-guided tour or, with an additional charge, one of our guided tours that will take you back in time to experience this majestic ship that earned five battle stars during WW II.

Rover Cruises began operating from the Norfolk waterfront with the American Rover Sailing Ship in 1986. In 2001, the Victory Rover was added to the fleet and began operating Naval Base Cruises from Nauticus, home of the Battleship Wisconsin. Rover Cruises is locally owned and operated and we are proud to call Norfolk home.

The Victory Rover can accommodate up to 149 guests. We have a climate-controlled main cabin with large picture windows and ample comfortable seating. More seating is available on our open-air bow and top deck. A large portion of our top deck has an awning to provide shade. In our main cabin, we offer restrooms as well as a fully stocked ship store and bar with all your favorite refreshments and souvenirs.

We cruise the smooth waters of the Elizabeth River and Hampton Roads Harbor. The captain provides a fascinating and entertaining commentary over our professional quality sound system. It is safe to say that the Captain’s narration is the main reason we are the #1 Tour in Norfolk per TripAdvisor.

The Virginia Beach Boardwalk, at the Oceanfront, is a 28-feet wide marvel that stretches three miles from 2nd to 40th Street and features a separate bike path, ideal for strolling, rollerblading and biking. Entertainment is offered nightly during the summer months and four oceanfront stages at 7th, 17th, and 24th and 31st Streets provide live musical acts. Along the boardwalk, there’s a variety of quaint outdoor restaurants and vendors offering bike and surrey rentals.
