Hotels near Half Moone Cruise Terminal: distance, park & cruise and parking

Every hotel in this guide, on the facts a booking site leaves out the night before a cruise: how far it is, whether anyone drives you to the ship, and what happens to your car. Columns this port has no answers for are left off rather than filled in.

Shuttle and package terms are shown as published only where we read them on the hotel’s own page, with the date we read it. Everywhere else the cell says what the hotel advertises, or that nothing is published — a shuttle you cannot confirm is one you should not plan an embarkation morning around.

Our pick · Families

Residence Inn Norfolk Downtown

0.5 miles, about an 11 min walk to portPrice not published

Why: The only all-suite hotel in walking distance of the terminal, which is the whole argument for it with children: a separate sleeping area and a kitchen, so the night before does not have to include a restaurant. Its on-site parking is $18.00 a day, per its own page, the joint-cheapest downtown.

All-suite with a separate bedroom and a full kitchen, on West Brambleton Avenue

Pro tip: Two warnings from its own page, both practical. Its garage has a height limit of 7 feet 2 inches, which rules out a lot of SUVs with a roof box — read that before you drive down from Richmond with the bikes on top. And its own address block asks GPS users to aim at the York Street address to find the hotel. It states the hotel does not provide shuttle service, so the eleven minutes to the ship is a walk.

Parking: On-site parking at $18.00 per day, per the hotel's own page, with a published garage height limit of 7 feet 2 inches. No cruise-length rate is published.

Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel

On the water at 777 Waterside Drive, and the only Norfolk hotel publishing a cruise package

0.4 miles, about a 9 min walk to portPrice not published

Why: It is the only hotel in the city selling a package built for this trip. Its own offer page runs an Experiences-Cruise Package from 22 July 2026 to 22 July 2027 with a minimum one-night stay, breakfast for two adults, and valet parking discounted by 15 dollars a day for the length of the cruise — so the car sits at the hotel while you sail rather than at Cedar Grove. Breakfast for two before an embarkation morning is worth more than it sounds.

Pro tip: Its own overview page states the hotel does not provide shuttle service, so plan the nine-minute walk or a rideshare. Valet is $35.00 a day before the package discount, and the hotel says it cannot valet oversized vehicles. If you are a family of five in a big SUV, call before you count on the package.

Parking: Valet parking, $35.00 daily per the hotel's own page, discounted by $15 a day for the length of the cruise under its cruise package. Oversized vehicles cannot be valeted.

Hilton Norfolk The Main

The closest hotel to the ship, with three restaurants downstairs including the only kids' menu we found downtown

0.2 miles, about a 5 min walk to portPrice not published

Why: Its own location page lists "Half Moone Cruise Center - 0.1 Miles", the only Norfolk hotel publishing a terminal distance, and with children that five-minute walk is the whole game. It also solves dinner and breakfast in the building: Grain on the roof publishes a kids' menu, and Varia opens at 6:30am every day, which is earlier than anywhere else within walking distance.

Pro tip: Self-parking is $18.00 a day against $33.00 valet, with in/out privileges — the flexible option if you are running to Target for forgotten sunscreen. Ignore the "Park, Stay & Cruise" link in its sitemap: the URL redirects to the offers index and no live offer mentions a cruise.

Parking: Self-parking $18.00 per day, valet $33.00 per day, with in/out privileges available, per the hotel's own page. No cruise-length parking rate is published.

Norfolk Waterside Marriott

The big full-service hotel on East Main Street, six minutes from the terminal

0.3 miles, about a 6 min walk to portPrice not published

Why: The largest hotel downtown, which means connecting rooms and availability when the smaller places are booked out around a sailing. Six minutes to the terminal is short enough to do twice if somebody forgets something.

Pro tip: Its own page states twice that the hotel does not provide shuttle service, and names a paid alternative — Orange Peel Transportation at 30.00 USD one way — which is worth knowing if the weather turns on embarkation morning. Its valet is $33.00 daily, and the page notes all parking is owned and operated by the City of Norfolk with an additional 6 percent tax on top of the listed price.

Parking: Valet parking $33.00 daily, per the hotel's own page, which adds that all parking is owned and operated by the City of Norfolk and that listed prices exclude an additional 6 percent tax.

Courtyard Norfolk Downtown

On Plume Street, with the only weekly parking rate published by any downtown hotel

0.4 miles, about a 10 min walk to portPrice not published

Why: If you are leaving the car for the week and want it at the hotel rather than at Cedar Grove, this is the only place putting a number on it: $25.00 daily or $150.00 weekly on its own page, with long-term parking listed as an amenity. For a family that has driven in, knowing the parking cost before you arrive is worth the ten-minute walk.

Pro tip: Compare it honestly: $150 for a week here against $105 for the same week at Cedar Grove, where your luggage also gets checked in at the lot. The hotel is the better answer only if you value the car staying put. Its own page states it does not provide shuttle service.

Parking: On-site parking at $25.00 daily and $150.00 weekly, with long-term parking listed as an amenity, per the hotel's own page.
