About Half Moone Cruise Terminal

Welcome to the Half Moone Cruise Terminal, officially named the Peter G. Decker Jr. Half Moone Center. Located at 1 Waterside Dr (also listed as One Waterside Drive) in Norfolk, VA 23510, this 80,000-square-foot facility can handle up to 3,000 guests per hour and serves as a key gateway for sailings along the U.S. Southeast. The terminal sits on the Nauticus campus, adjacent to Nauticus and the Battleship Wisconsin, offering convenient access, modern amenities, and a Promenade Deck that the public can enjoy when ships aren’t in port.

Whether you’re arriving by car, light rail, Amtrak, or shuttle, we’ve got you covered with parking details, transit options, and trusted hotel and dining recommendations to help you plan a smooth cruise experience.

Seating and layout: The Half Moone Cruise Terminal does not publish a formal seating chart for passengers. Visitors should expect a functional, open layout designed to streamline check-in and boarding. When ships are in port, the Promenade Deck remains a scenic area open to the public, providing a space to stretch, relax, and take in harbor views.

Parking: Cedar Grove Parking Lot, 1000 Monticello Ave, Norfolk, offers the best available price per day with a complimentary shuttle that transports guests to the terminal. ADA parking and ADA shuttle services are available to accommodate travelers with accessibility needs.

Transit and accessibility: The terminal is accessible by car, light rail, Amtrak, and shuttle services. There is a designated drop-off and pick-up zone on Waterside Dr to streamline arrivals and departures.

Nearby hotels: For convenient lodging, consider these trusted options within walking or short drive distance: Hilton Norfolk The Main, Marriott Norfolk Waterside, and Sheraton Norfolk Waterside. Each property offers oceanfront or harbor views and easy access to downtown Norfolk attractions.

Nearby dining and affiliate partners: We recommend booking through affiliate partners for reliable dining arrangements before or after your sailing. Popular options near the terminal include waterfront eateries and refined dining experiences; do check partner links for special offers and proximity to Waterside Drive.

About the venue: The terminal opened on April 28, 2007, with the Empress of the Seas. Carnival expanded year-round service to Norfolk in 2025 after terminal enhancements. Norwegian Pearl has plans to call in 2027. The facility, with its 80,000 square feet of space, sits within the Nauticus campus and stands as a practical hub for cruisers heading to the Caribbean, Bermuda, and beyond.
