Great Lakes Cruise Ships

Great Lakes Cruise Ships 2022 & 2023


Sailing the Great Lakes of North America, you'll find many fantastic cruise ships. From historically accurate replicas of older ships to modern ships featuring the latest technologies, each Great Lakes cruise ship is unique. Experiences in their own right, these ships can feature luxurious cabins, delicious eateries, lounges, and much more.
Most cruise ships on the Great Lakes are significantly smaller than their oceanic counterparts, due the tighter locks and rivers they have to sail through. You'll find that the vast majority hold less than 300 passengers, making cruises more immersive, personal, and spacious for you. On these cruises, you'll have the chance to get to know other cruisers and crew members as you visit incredible destinations together.
