  • Explore the Great Lakes - The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway System is a shared U.S.-Canada waterway.  The natural flow of  lakes, rivers and channels are connected by manmade locks - spanning over 2,000 miles inland from the Gulf of the St. Lawrence to Duluth, Minnesota on Lake Superior. 

    This growing hub for luxury cruises includes the clear water of the St. Lawrence River and all five Great Lakes.  Unique ports are rich with historic, maritime and Midwestern charm.  Prime attractions are close to berthing space.  Unique onshore experiences immerse passengers in local history, art and architecture, and native cultures. 

    Port communities on the Great Lakes go out of their way to celebrate the ships and their passengers as they cruise throughout the spring, summer and fall. 

    Ships cruising the St. Lawrence Seaway are small enough to navigate the locks and channels, but large enough for superior handling and stability in rough seas. Maximum ship dimensions are length 225.50m beam 23.77m and depth 8.08m.
