Description

We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Thursday, May 22, 2025.

Join us aboard the newly renovated Hampton Queen for a fantastic 2-hour sightseeing harbor cruise. We will cover over 20 points of interest and over 400 years of history from the founding Jamestown in 1607 to the current Norfolk Naval Base. The Hampton Queen is climate controlled for your comfort and has some great outdoor space to enjoy the harbor breezes. Highlights include seeing Fort Monroe and the Old Point Comfort Lighthouse and hopefully some dolphin sightings. Your tour will also include lunch in Hampton at the Gray Goose and a guided tour at the Virginia Air & Space Science Center, which is celebrating more than 25 years of educational excellence as the official visitor center for the NASA Langley Research Center. Hampton is considered the birthplace of America's space program, so this is one attraction not to miss. It features interactive aviation exhibits spanning 100 years of flight, more than 30 historic aircrafts, a hands-on space exploration gallery, unique space flight artifacts, and more. The Center is home to the Apollo 12 Command Module and the Orion PA-1 Test Vehicle. A definite not-to-miss tour.
