Cruise Dates:
July 21–August 1, 2012*
August 1–11, 2012
The history of America—from the traditions of its native peoples to the arrival of the Europeans to the dawn of the industrial revolution—comes alive in the Great Lakes. Sailing from Duluth, venture through Lake Superior to revel in the pristine beauty of the Apostle Islands and the Keweenaw Peninsula, relax aboard as the Yorktown sails along the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, see the abundant wildlife of Whitefish Point, and transit the Soo Locks into stunning Lake Huron. Also witness the natural beauty of Wisconsin's Door Peninsula, visit Michigan's charming Victorian-era Mackinac Island, attend a traditional Native American powwow on Manitoulin Island, and navigate the 60 islands that make up Georgian Bay Islands National Park.
* Note: The July 21-August 1 voyage is one day longer (12 days) and includes a call in Parry Sound, Ontario. It operates in the reverse direction, from Detroit to Duluth, and rates are $300-$400 higher in each category.
