    Norfolk is an independent city in Hampton Roads, a harbor on Chesapeake Bay. It’s home to the largest naval base in the world, Norfolk Naval Base and is the regional educational, medical, business, financial and cultural center.

    The city is known for historic sites and neighborhoods, for its association with the Navy, and for world-class cultural events. You can visit outstanding art and historical museums or attend professional theater, opera and symphony performances.

Cruise ships regularly visit and depart from Norfolk and the cruise terminal is near the revitalized downtown area, which has excellent restaurants and hotels and a growing club and music scene. The increase in tourism has created a demand for skilled, trained culinary arts professionals, like the graduates of the Culinary Institute of Virginia.
