Naval Academy Group Transportation Services
Commissioning Week shuttles (late May) — Commissioning Week is Annapolis's busiest week of the year. Families fly into BWI, Reagan National, and Dulles from all 50 states. We run BWI + DCA + IAD airport-to-Annapolis-hotel shuttles running Sunday through Wednesday, then Naval Academy Chapel + Bancroft Hall drop shuttles for the events themselves (Herndon Monument climb, parade formations, commissioning ceremony, ring dance for firsties). Post-commissioning, we shuttle new ensigns and Marine second lieutenants to their first assignments — Norfolk, Pensacola, or Quantico via long-haul motorcoach if the whole graduating group wants a shared trip.
USNA Chapel wedding transportation — Naval Academy Chapel weddings are among the most coveted (and most restricted) military venues. Guest shuttles from downtown Annapolis hotel blocks (Loews, Marriott Waterfront, Historic Inns of Annapolis, Westin) to the USNA Chapel handle the awkward foot-traffic and parking constraints inside the yard. Post-ceremony, we transport to the reception venue — often Bay Ridge Beach & Pool Club, the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club, or O'Callaghan's — and return late-night to the hotel block. Multi-day packages (rehearsal dinner Friday + ceremony/reception Saturday + Sunday brunch) are standard for USNA Chapel weddings.
Army-Navy game charter (December) — The Army-Navy game moves between host stadiums, including Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, and M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. When the game is at M&T Bank Stadium, we run charter buses from Annapolis to Baltimore on game day. When it's in Philadelphia, we do full round-trip charter buses from Annapolis to Lincoln Financial Field. Book by August for December game charters.
Parents' Weekend group buses — USNA Parents' Weekend brings 4,000+ family members to Annapolis in early October. We handle multi-vehicle parent shuttles between recommended hotel blocks and USNA yard events (parade formations, tailgate at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, brigade evening presentation).
Officer commissioning follow-on trips — Newly-commissioned officers frequently celebrate with family multi-day trips — Chesapeake Bay boating day trip, DC family sightseeing, or a Baltimore Inner Harbor / Little Italy dinner package. We handle these as multi-day packages with the commissioning family.
Alumni + reunion charters — USNA class reunions (5-year cycles) draw alumni from all over. Alumni reunion committees book charter buses for Blue and Gold Officer group events, cocktail receptions at the Naval Academy Club, and campus tours for spouses/families.

Commissioning Week
Commissioning Week at USNA is typically a stretch of days in mid-to-late May. The sequence typically includes a Blue Angels flight demonstration, Color Parade, Ring Dance, Baccalaureate, and the Commissioning ceremony, but exact dates and times change by year, so confirm them against the official USNA schedule before booking. Parking on USNA grounds is highly restricted during Commissioning Week; Annapolis guidance says the best option for visitors is usually to park at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium and take the free shuttle into downtown or to the Academy. Downtown hotels and garages fill quickly, so reserve early.
Plebe Parents' Weekend
Plebe Parents' Weekend is the annual visit weekend for plebes' parents, family members, and guests to see their midshipman and take part in Academy traditions before the fall term. Parking on the Yard is very limited, and offsite parking at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, 511 Taylor Avenue, Annapolis, is the standard fallback, with Academy shuttle service from the stadium. Annapolis properties near Gate 1, City Dock, and downtown fill quickly for the weekend, so book refundable rooms early.
Getting onto the Yard
USNA has strict vehicle access rules. Motor coaches drop passengers at Gate 1 (main visitor entrance) or Gate 8 (King George Street) depending on the event, and passengers walk on with government-issued photo ID. Once in Annapolis, Rowe Boulevard, Taylor Avenue, West Street, and Spa Road matter more than the interstate because they feed the stadium area and downtown access points. Parking and pickup are not the same thing: a bus should drop the group as close as practical to Gate 1, then stage away from the Yard and return on a specific cue rather than circling. On Commissioning Week and Blue Angels days, expect heavier congestion around City Dock, King George Street, and the stadium corridor.
