The Best Great Lakes Destinations for 2024

2024 Great Lakes cruises to milwaukee wi
Milwaukee, WI
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The historic city of Milwaukee is expected to be one of the top cities along Great Lakes cruises due to a rapidly growing interest in tourism. The city's pursuits are not in vain, as it has lots to offer. The city has lots of history due to its involvement in American innovation and manufacturing. Visiting, you'll have the chance to visit the Harley-Davidson Museum -- where the motorcycle brand was founded. Alternatively, you can learn about about the city's great brewing history at the Miller Brewing Company, the Grand Pabst Mansion, or even with their major league baseball team, the Milwaukee Brewers.

Visit Toronto with Great Lakes Cruises

Thunder Bay, Ontario
Thunder Bay, Ontario. This community on the North Shore of Lake Superior is rapidly becoming one of the most sought after destinations for adventurous Great Lakes cruises. Thunder Bay is lovingly known as the "largest city on the edge of the world" by locals. It's an urban oasis replete with incredible dining, a delicious brewing scene, and plenty of entertainment. Step just outside the city though, and you'll find seemingly endless wilderness all around. In the area surrounding Thunder Bay, shipwrecks, forgotten mines, and incredible natural landforms are plentiful. In the image to the left, you'll find the Silver Islet Mine, a shaft now filled with water that stretches over 1,200 feet down. Here, you can easily kayak over the mineshaft or, if you're incredibly brave, dive into it.
