Great Lakes Cruise Lines

Great Lakes Cruise Lines 2025 & 2026

Several cruise lines serve the Great Lakes region. Due to the size of the locks, large ocean-going vessels aren't able to enter the Great Lakes. This creates an opportunity to cruise on intimate vessels with a typical capacity of 300 guests or less. The growing list of companies sailing the Great Lakes includes new entrants, like France's Ponant Explorer Cruises, Germany's Hapag Lloyd Cruises and the adventurous Viking Expedition Cruises. And, you'll always find our Great Lakes classics, renowned for their onboard service and engaging itineraries: Victory Cruise Lines (returning to service July 2025), Pearl Seas Cruises, and Windstar Cruises. Or, try Seabourn Cruises and Silversea Cruises, two award-winning cruise lines with outstanding service and all kinds of groundbreaking features.

With so many great options to choose from, finding the perfect one for you can be a difficult choice. Our knowledgeable experts have been in the business for years, and know the cruises, cruise lines, and destinations like the back of their hands. Our Great Lakes Cruises experts are always happy to help you find the perfect journey.

The waters that these lines sail are full of stories, ensuring each of their cruises are something that you'll never forget. If you're interested in learning more before you choose a cruise line, you can learn more about Great Lakes cruises here:
