Annapolis is a headache to drive a group into, which is why a charter bus to the Naval Academy from Alexandria is the easy call. The town packs a lot into a small, historic footprint, with narrow colonial streets and limited parking that make Navy football Saturdays, Commissioning Week, and chapel weddings hard to manage in separate cars. The bus drops your group close and takes the parking off your plate.
Whether it’s a game, a graduation, or a wedding, Charter Bus Alexandria can handle the ride. Call 703-705-7785 or get a free 30-second quote to lock it in.
How Far Is Annapolis From Alexandria?
The Naval Academy is about an hour and 40 miles from Old Town Alexandria, usually via the Beltway and US-50. Big dates like home football Saturdays and Commissioning Week pack the town and its small lots, so getting dropped near the gate beats circling historic Annapolis for a space.

Three Reasons Groups Head To Annapolis
The Naval Academy draws groups for a few different occasions, and each one looks a little different:
- Navy football. Game-day crowds at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium fill the area lots fast, so a bus keeps your group together and skips the parking scramble. Learn more about sporting event transportation.
- Commissioning Week and graduations. Families come from out of town for the ceremonies, and a bus keeps everyone on schedule across a packed week. This fits our private event transportation.
- Chapel weddings. The Naval Academy Chapel is a sought-after venue, and a wedding shuttle keeps guests together between the ceremony, the reception, and the hotel.
Drop-Off, Pickup, And Parking Logistics
Annapolis streets are tight and access near the Academy is controlled, so your bus drops the group close to the gate or your venue and then stages in a permitted area rather than parking downtown. Afterward, you’ll have a set pickup point so the group gathers in one spot instead of spreading across the historic district. Lock in a firm meeting time and spot in advance, and let us know about any stops you want to add, like the waterfront downtown.
