In an effort to dock larger cruise liners, Port Norfolk VA is currently studying what improvements have to be made at the current cruise pier.
Norfolk's cruise terminal (“Decker Half Moone Cruise & Celebration Center”) was inaugurated in 2007. It has served as a key homeport for a variety of cruise companies and could possibly be making major improvements in the near future.
There is a study that is looking into expanding operations as well as being able to handle much bigger cruise ships.
