Door County, Wisconsin. Found on the eponymous Door County Peninsular, between Lake Michigan and Green Bay, this destination is a growing favorite among all sorts of Great Lakes travelers for 2023. Synonymous with cherries, many of the greatest varieties in North America stem from the county. Festivals like Jacksonport's annual Cherry Fest only reinforce the fact, while acres of wineries, quaint shops selling handmade wares, and numerous state parks offer even more to do in Door County. Visit Door County with Viking's Great Lakes Collection Cruise.
Mackinac Island, Michigan. A staple of Great Lakes cruising, Mackinac Island continues to grow in tourism for 2023. The island's claim to fame is its lack of motor vehicles. With everyone on bicycle or horse, you'll feel taken back in time. Over the years, Mackinac Island has been a vacationing destination for politicians and celebrities, including John F. Kennedy, Vladimir Putin, and Mark Twain. It was also the setting of the 1980 drama Somewhere In Time, starring Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve.

Great Lakes Cruises Are Growing
If you're still unable to find the right cruise for 2023 after scouring our site and connecting with our Great Lakes cruise experts, we always recommend thinking about the next available years too. While some small brands have been cruising the Great Lakes for years, they are still a fairly new field for large companies like Viking Expeditions, Ponant, and Hapag Lloyd. While these companies have launched brilliant itineraries that explore all facets of the lakes, they are still building experience and relations with each locale they visit.
Because of this, we're certain that 2024, 2025, and the years that follow will get better with each and every cruise. And, for those that have sailed the Great Lakes already, it makes a good case to visit again. We, for one, cannot wait to see what's next for these majestic waters.
