Great Lakes cruise guide: Best itineraries, planning tips and things to do

The Great Lakes probably isn't the first place that comes to mind when you think of cruising. But in recent years, the region has grown enormously as a cruise destination — and for good reason. Touring the Great Lakes by ship is by far the easiest way to see a wide range of the area's attractions — from vibrant cities to natural wonders — in a single trip.

When planning Great Lakes cruises, you have many things to consider: when to go for the best Great Lakes cruise experience, which cruise line is best suited to your travel style, the best Great Lakes cruise ports to visit and which shoreside activities you want to prioritize. It's not the kind of trip you want to throw together at the last minute, especially since the best fare deals typically go to organized travelers who book early.

Here, The Points Guy offers up a guide to everything you need to know about planning a sailing in the Great Lakes.

Why cruise the Great Lakes?

The Great Lakes region may not be a bucket list destination on the scale of Alaska or Antarctica. But it has a lot to offer — more than many people may realize.

Along the banks of the five lakes that are at the core of the region — Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior — you'll find some of Middle America's greatest cities, charming small towns, historic sites and wonders both natural and human-made. Plus, there are the lakes themselves, which together are roughly the size of the U.K. and make up the largest freshwater ecosystem on the planet. Accounting for 21% of all the world's fresh water, they truly are a marvel.

All this can be seen via an overland trip, of course, and many people explore the Great Lakes region by car or on motorcoach tours. But the region is so sprawling — the Great Lakes touch eight U.S. states and the Canadian province of Ontario — that logistically it's almost impossible to experience the area in a broad way on a single trip without going by ship.

On a single Great Lakes cruise, you can see the world-class architecture and museums of Chicago, take a carriage ride through the carless streets of Mackinac Island, Michigan, and gaze upon the splendor that is Niagara Falls along the New York border — all without having to get behind the wheel of a car or unpacking and re-packing your suitcase more than once.

When do cruises go to the Great Lakes?

The Great Lakes cruise season is a short one, due mostly to the weather. With winters being cold and snowy in the region, cruise lines stick to the warmer months of May to September for Great Lakes sailings.

The weather isn't the only limiting factor. The cruise season in the Great Lakes is also limited in its length by the opening and closing of the St. Lawrence Seaway — the system of locks, canals and channels that connects the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. Cruise vessels that operate in the Great Lakes can't access the region until the locks on the St. Lawrence Seaway open for the summer, something that typically happens the last week of March. They need to be out of the Great Lakes before the St. Lawrence Seaway closes for the winter (typically in December).

Great Lakes cruise weather can be chilly at the start of the season, with low temperatures in the 40s in May in some areas and highs in the 60s. It warms up considerably by July and August, with high temperatures in the 70s and 80s.

When you want to go will depend on which activities you want to do, how you feel about cool weather and the price. Cruises at the beginning of the Great Lakes cruise season in May are generally a bit less expensive than those in June, July, August and September.

Best Great Lakes itineraries

A relatively small number of ships sail in the Great Lakes during any given year. But, even so, they offer a wide range of Great Lakes itineraries. Some of the ships that operate in the region will alternate between three or even four different routes during the short summer season, giving you lots of choices.

Lengthwise, you'll find Great Lakes voyages ranging from seven to 15 nights. Some of the sailings travel across all five of the Great Lakes. Others focus on just three or four of the interconnected bodies of water. Some of the ships also offer sailings that combine travel on one or more of the Great Lakes with a passage through the St. Lawrence Seaway. In some cases, these latter trips include travel all the way to Montreal.

The diversity in Great Lakes itineraries extends to their start and end points. A large percentage of all Great Lakes cruises begin or end in Chicago, Milwaukee or Toronto. But there also are Great Lakes sailings that begin or end in Thunder Bay, Ontario; Duluth, Minnesota; Montreal and Detroit.

In most cases, Great Lakes sailings are one-way trips. You'll start in, say, Toronto, and work your way west to Chicago — or vice versa.

Some Great Lakes itineraries only include stops at relatively small towns such as Midland, Parry Sound and Little Current in Ontario; and Muskegon, Marquette and Houghton in Michigan. Others mix in calls at some of the bigger cities of the Great Lakes region, notably Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland and Toronto. On longer sailings, vessels often will overnight in such places as Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Thunder Bay.

Car-free Mackinac Island at the top of Michigan is a common stop on Great Lakes voyages, as is Niagara Falls, which sits between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

Pro tip: If your Great Lakes cruise begins or ends in Chicago, Milwaukee or Toronto, add a pre- or post-cruise stay of a night or two in the cities to see them in more depth.

Best Great Lakes cruise lines

Most of the world's biggest cruise lines — including Royal Caribbean , Norwegian Cruise Line and Carnival Cruise Line — can't operate in the Great Lakes because their ships are too big to enter the region through the St. Lawrence Seaway. This has turned the Great Lakes into an exclusive zone for a handful of smaller cruise operators that focus on very small vessels.

The two main players in Great Lakes cruising are Viking (a newcomer in 2022) and Pearl Seas Cruises. Each has one vessel devoted to the region (Viking Octantis and Pearl Mist, respectively).

Both cater to a generally older crowd, which is the main market for Great Lakes cruises. Viking's itineraries have the most outdoorsy options, while Pearl Seas Cruises offers trips with a lot of small-town stops.

Two more lines that occasionally operate sailings in the region are German line Hapag-Lloyd Cruises and France-based Ponant. Tour organizer Smithsonian Journeys also occasionally offers Great Lakes sailings using chartered Ponant vessels.

All of the above lines operate ships in the Great Lakes that carry fewer than 400 passengers. Some carry as few as 202 passengers. In general, the vessels are intimate and relatively high-end, with pricing to match.

As a rule, Great Lakes sailings don't come cheap. For example, seven-night Viking sailings in the region start at $5,995 per person.

Things to do in the Great Lakes

As noted above, the Great Lakes offer a wide mix of attractions and experiences. During a Great Lakes cruise, you might find yourself climbing aboard the bus where Rosa Parks took a stand at the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit on one day and kayaking through the wild marshlands of Point Pelee, Ontario, the next.

Of the two lines operating in the Great Lakes, Viking has the greatest focus on outdoorsy stops such as Point Pelee (a tiny sandspit that juts into the northwestern corner of Lake Erie and is famous as a stopover for migratory birds). Some of Viking's sailings include a call at Alpena, Michigan — the gateway to a National Maritime Sanctuary, where passengers can kayak past shipwrecks in shallow waters. Another destination that Viking visits, Silver Islet, Ontario, brings the opportunity for a trail walk through Ontario's 94-square-mile Sleeping Giant Provincial Park — a rocky, forested park named for a long line of mesas that resemble a giant lying on its back.

The city-oriented stops that Viking and the other lines make, such as visits to Milwaukee or Chicago on Lake Michigan, give you time to explore the urban sensibility of the region. Brew-town Milwaukee offers the chance to explore the city's craft beer and brewing scene or to take a walking tour to the city's many outdoor sculptures. Chicago is famous for its world-leading architecture (which you can see on walking and boat tours), its Magnificent Mile lined with more stores than you've probably ever seen in one place and its world-class cultural institutions.

Then there are stops at quieter places such as Mackinac Island, where your sightseeing might include an excursion by horse-drawn carriage to historical sites. Of the three main lines operating in the Great Lakes, as noted above, Pearl Seas Cruises focuses the most on the region's small towns, with fewer stops at bigger cities.

One thing that all three of the main lines operating in the Great Lakes have in common is that they include tours during at least some stops and sometimes every stop in their base fares. Pearl Seas Cruises and Viking are particularly known for including lots of shore excursions in their base fares.

Included tours are part of what you're paying for when you pay the high prices noted above. So you can go off on your own in any of the places these ships visit. But you might just have a no-extra-charge outing including many of the highlights of each place already planned for your voyage.

Best Great Lakes cruise ports

The best Great Lakes cruise ports include the handful of relatively big cities in the region, such as Chicago, that are loaded with cultural sites, nightspots and restaurants, as well as charming small towns such as Holland, Michigan. Great Lakes cruises also bring days that are all about getting up close to wonders both natural and human-made — from towering Niagara Falls to the engineering marvel that is the Welland Canal.

Thunder Bay, Ontario

Known as "Canada's Gateway to the West" because it's the final navigational point on the Canadian side of Lake Superior, Thunder Bay is one of Ontario's most vibrant cities and a center for art and culture. It's also a hub for outdoorsy pursuits including mountain biking, rock climbing, kayaking and angling, as it's nestled within boreal forests.

Great architecture and cultural institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago — along with lots of nightlife, shopping and world-class dining — make Chicago the premier city destination in the Great Lakes region. Many Great Lakes cruises begin or end in Chicago, with some including an overnight in the city, allowing time to explore. Don't miss a stroll down the Magnificent Mile and a sightseeing boat ride on the Chicago River (a great way to get an overview of the city and see some of its architectural gems).

Wisconsin's biggest city is often surprisingly delightful to first-time visitors, home as it is to a Santiago Calatrava-designed art museum with a world-class collection, a Harley-Davidson Museum that our sister site Lonely Planet has dubbed "badass" plus stylish eating and shopping enclaves. Settled by Germans in the 1840s, "Brew City," as it's known, also is a mecca of sorts for beer lovers — and not just because it's home to the original Miller Brewing Company complex, which is open daily for tours. You'll also find lots of craft breweries that you can visit on your own or as part of a tour, and you can tour (and drink at) the original Pabst Brewery.

Holland, Michigan

As the name suggests, Holland is a little bit of The Netherlands transported to the Americas. Settled by Dutch immigrants in the 1800s, it's home to the annual Tulip Time Festival, which takes place every May, and offers up such Holland-themed attractions as Windmill Island Gardens, where you'll find a working Dutch windmill, canals and dikes. Holland's downtown is a charmer with cobblestone sidewalks and more than 100 specialty shops, breweries and restaurants.

Sault Saint Marie, Michigan

Located at the northeastern edge of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Sault Saint Marie is the site of the Soo Locks, a marvel of engineering that connects Lake Superior to Lake Huron. The locks themselves are the big attractions in Sault Saint Marie — head to the observation deck at Soo Locks Park to watch freighters passing by and learn more at the Soo Locks Visitor Center.

But there are other allures, including the Museum Ship Valley Camp. It's a retired Great Lakes freighter (named Valley Camp) that you can climb into and explore. In addition to touring the living quarters for its 29-person crew, you'll find a 20,000-square-foot maritime museum in its cargo hold with exhibits on the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald and more.

Mackinac Island

The Jewel of the Great Lakes has been a summer getaway for Midwesterners since the Victorian era and it retains much of its Victorian-era charm. The iconic attraction on the island is the 135-year-old Grand Hotel , with its seemingly endless, rocker-lined front porch (the longest in the world). Afternoon tea in the hotel's parlor, or a game of croquet at its Tea Garden, are among Mackinac Island's allures. Tours in a horse-drawn carriage are another popular pastime; cars are banned on the island, leaving horse-drawn carriages as one of the main ways of getting around, along with bicycles. When visiting, don't miss Fort Mackinac, which dates to the 1700s.

Niagara Falls

Located on the short waterway between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, Niagara Falls is one of the world's most spectacular waterfall complexes (it's actually three waterfalls, not one) with a flow rate greater than any other waterfall in North America and a vertical drop of more than 160 feet. Visitors can take it in both from viewing areas on land and from a tour boat.

Note that Great Lakes cruise vessels don't travel directly on the 36-mile-long strait that connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, which is known as the Niagara River (lest they go plunging over the falls). Instead, they use the Welland Canal — another marvel of engineering and an attraction in its own right.

Motor City should probably be called Museum City, as it's home to a wonderful array of museums worth a visit, from The Detroit Museum of Art and the Motown Museum to the Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History. Passengers on Great Lakes cruises will find that stops in Detroit often revolve around an included visit to the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, a sprawling history museum complex that is home to the limousine that President Kennedy was in when he was assassinated, George Washington's camp bed, Buckminster Fuller's prototype Dymaxion house, the bus on which Rosa Parks was arrested and countless other rare artifacts.

When to book a Great Lakes cruise

The best time to book a Great Lakes cruise is right when a cruise line first opens bookings on that sailing, often more than a year in advance. You'll have your pick of itineraries and cabins and often the best fares.

Because the Great Lakes has such a short season with a limited number of ships, sailings in the region are often in high demand and people plan early. Newcomer Viking, notably, has told TPG it has seen brisker sales this year for its Great Lakes trips than sailings to Antarctica — one of the world's ultimate bucket list destinations.

If you wait to book, you're not entirely out of luck. Cruise lines often run sales in the fall or in the early months of the year (a period known in the cruise industry as "wave season" ). You can take advantage of discounted fares and other perks. Some of the most desirable cabins might be sold out; being flexible about your sail date or itinerary can help.

In general, waiting until the last minute is not the best idea, unless you live in a gateway city such as Chicago, Milwaukee or Toronto and don't need to book flights. While some less preferred sail dates or cabin categories may have availability a few months out, spurring cruise lines to drop rates, you might have trouble finding affordable airfare and pre- or post-cruise hotel accommodations that do not eat up your cruise savings.

What to bring on a Great Lakes cruise

When it comes to packing for a Great Lakes cruise, your mantra should always be: dress in layers. It can be chilly in the morning in the more northerly parts of the Great Lakes, particularly at the start of the Great Lakes cruising season, but then warm up fast.

If you're planning to do some outdoorsy pursuits, such as kayaking or hiking, be sure to bring appropriate activewear. And don't forget to pack a rain jacket, if not a complete rain gear outfit, including a wide-brimmed waterproof hat, rain pants and waterproof shoes or boots.

Also, and this is critical: Don't forget your passport. Many of the places you'll visit in the Great Lakes will be in the United States and do not require a passport. But every Great Lakes cruise includes at least a few — and sometimes many — stops in Canada, where a valid U.S. passport, passport card or NEXUS card is required to enter if you're a U.S. citizen.

Bottom line

There's a lot to see and do in the Great Lakes region, and it's hard to argue that there's a better way to see and do it than on a cruise. Cruise vessels departing from such cities as Chicago and Toronto can take you to all of the highlights of the region — from the breweries of Milwaukee to thundering Niagara Falls — in a single trip. That's something that you'll be hard-pressed to accomplish any other way.

The Hottest Cruise Destination of 2022 Isn’t Where You Might Think

A flock of sleek new ships is sailing here—and it isn’t far from home..

You may not think of Cleveland, Chicago, Toronto, or Duluth, Minnesota, as hot ports on the cruise map, but this year they are. In June, Green Bay, Wisconsin, had its first-ever cruise ship visit, American Queen Voyages’ 202-passenger Ocean Navigator .

The Ocean Navigator is one of several vessels sailing what has rapidly become an emerging destination for cruising in 2022: the Great Lakes.

This year’s Great Lakes cruise season, which kicked off in the spring and runs into October, is hosting the largest fleet of ships ever to sail the five lakes that straddle the U.S.-Canada border—Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario (or Super Man Helps Every One, for those who love a good mnemonic device to help remember the names). According to the marketing association Cruise the Great Lakes , nine ships are on the lakes this year, which marks a return after no cruises at all in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions. The number of passengers in 2022 has increased by more than 25 percent compared to 2019, the association reports.

Detroit alone will have 50 cruise ship visits this year, according to Kyle Burleson, director of port operations for the Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority. The previous record was 25. Cruises on the Great Lakes will cumulatively call at 28 different ports in 2022, offering a welcome boon in visitors to the destinations in the American Midwest and Canada that they visit.

Torstein Hagen, chairman of Viking , which has a new 378-passenger polar expedition ship, Viking Octantis , summering in the region and returning next year, is so optimistic about the U.S.-Canada cruises that he has begun referring to the embarkation port of Milwaukee as “the Miami of the Great Lakes.”

“The growth of cruise shipping and the arrival of vessels like the Viking Octantis and Ocean Navigator on Lake Superior this year has elevated our communities, the Lake Superior basin, and the entire Great Lakes region to reach new global travel audiences as a premier must-see destination,” says Paul Pepe, manager at Tourism Thunder Bay, a destination in Ontario, Canada.

Exploring Mackinac Island, a popular cruise stop on Lake Huron in Michigan.

The Great Lakes offer cruisers access to wildlife, natural landscapes, quaint lakeside towns, and industrial history on the U.S. Midwest side. And on the Canadian side, highlights include First Nations cultural experiences, more wildlife and scenic landscapes, and the Georgian Bay Biosphere in Ontario, which UNESCO recognized as the world’s largest freshwater archipelago. Cruise itineraries include three or more of the lakes; some touch all five.

While Great Lakes ships have traditionally been smaller, more modest coastal vessels, Viking is shaking things up by bringing a polar-class expedition ship to the region. The Viking Octantis is equipped with features that include a pair of six-passenger yellow submarines that will be used for under-lake viewing in Canadian waters (but not in U.S. waters due to the Jones Act, maritime legislation that precludes a foreign-flagged vessel from operating excursion craft such as kayaks, Zodiacs, and submarines in the U.S.). French cruise line Ponant is also sailing the Great Lakes this fall and next with luxury expedition ships complete with underwater lounges.

If you’re intrigued, here are the cruise ships to watch that are sailing the aptly named Great Lakes.

The best cruises on the Great Lakes

Ocean Navigator and Ocean Voyager

• Great Lakes sailings: American Queen Voyages sails 10-night cruises between Chicago and Toronto and 14-night cruises between Chicago and Montreal (including a precruise hotel night in the departure city). Fares from $5,000 per person.
• Book now: AQVoyages.com

American Queen Voyages ’ two coastal ships in the Great Lakes are the 202-passenger Ocean Voyager (formerly Victory 1 ) and sister ship Ocean Navigator (formerly Victory II ). The ships debuted in 2016 and 2018, respectively. Especially noteworthy: They are the only ships that dock at Chicago’s Navy Pier. (The only other cruise itinerary on the Great Lakes to visit Chicago will be one hosted by German line Hapag-Lloyd in 2023.)

Both the Ocean Voyager and Ocean Navigator feature recently updated traditional decor. Accommodations range from small, 146-square-foot cabins and deluxe staterooms with a shared outdoor deck to 335-square-foot owner’s suites with private veranda and living room area. Fares include unlimited open bar and use of bikes for shoreside rides.

In addition to the main Coastal Dining Room, the ships have a casual buffet venue. The Compass Lounge is the place for port talks and entertainment. There’s also a small tavern, gym, spa, and outdoor hot tub. Local musicians come onboard for performances, such as a Motown tribute in Detroit.

• Great Lakes sailings: Seven-night cruises between Toronto and Milwaukee take place in September this year and September and October in 2023. Fares from $5,170.
• Book now: Ponant.com

French luxury line Ponant has its 184-passenger Le Bellot (built in 2020) in the Great Lakes this fall, to be joined by sister ship Le Dumont d’Urville in 2023. These six-deck expedition yachts boast the kind of international cuisine and complimentary wine pours you’d expect on French-operated vessels, plus an outdoor swimming pool and a panoramic lounge. And there is the super-cool feature of an underwater sensory lounge, Blue Eye, with submarine-like views of walleye fish and other Great Lakes marine life.

The ships have a subtle contemporary decor and both casual and more formal dining options, 188-seat theaters, spa and fitness areas, and a fleet of nine Zodiacs (for use in Canadian waters).

• Great Lakes sailings: The line sails 7- to 11-night cruises through four of the Great Lakes (Ontario, Huron, Erie, and Michigan). Fares from $5,650 per person.
• Book now: PearlSeaCruises.com

Pearl Seas Cruises (sister line to American Cruise Lines ) has on the Great Lakes the intimate, 210-passenger Pearl Mist , a 15-year-old coastal cruiser done up in crisp, classic decor. One big bonus: All cabins have sliding glass doors leading to balconies.

The ship has lounges, a library, and a general low-key atmosphere. It’s the kind of ship without a lot of activities, where passengers are happy to occupy themselves with views, reading, or conversation. Shore experiences include kayaking, hiking, lobster fishing, and glass-bottom boat tours.

Cruise the Great Lakes in comfort on the ‘Viking Octantis.’

Viking Octantis

• Great Lakes sailings: Viking offers an 8-day cruise between Toronto and Milwaukee and a 15-day cruises between Toronto and Duluth; all-inclusive fares from $5,995 per person.
• Book now: VikingCruises.com

This new, state-of-the-art, long and narrow expedition ship was built for Southern Hemisphere summers in Antarctica and is spending Northern Hemisphere summers in the Great Lakes. Its style and onboard amenities are in a league of their own for cruises in the region. It’s the largest ship in the Great Lakes, though small enough to clear (by a tight one foot) the 27-mile Welland Canal that connects Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. Fans of Viking will recognize the sleek Scandinavian decor and Nordic accents, dining choices (including Manfredi’s for Italian), and a wide range of accommodations, with designs that mimic the interiors of the line’s ocean and river ships. One difference, however, is that rather than have step-out balconies, staterooms feature windows that open to let in the breeze.

Viking has brought expedition-style cruising to the region, complete with submarines.

On a recent tour of the vessel in the port of Milwaukee, I was impressed by the many lounge spaces, which include a “hidden” speakeasy; the indoor/outdoor infinity pool that links to hot, tepid, and cold outdoor dipping pools; the expansive Nordic spa; a lecture hall; and heated outdoor furniture and firepits. The onboard lab where scientists, including from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), will conduct research and experiments is another wow factor, as is the 20-person expert expedition team onboard. In addition to the submarine, the ship also carries Zodiacs and kayaks (for use in Canadian waters).

A second expedition vessel, the Viking Polaris, will join the Viking Octantis in the Great Lakes for the 2023 season.

What to know about cruising between the U.S. and Canada

If you are cruising between the U.S. and Canada you will, first off, need your passport. As of press time, Canada requires cruise passengers age 12 and up to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (some cruise lines require passengers age 5 and up to be vaccinated) and to have completed ArriveCAN health forms prior to arrival.

Everyone cruising in Canada must also undergo precruise testing (something that the majority of cruise lines also still require) even though prearrival COVID testing has been dropped for international air arrivals into Canada. Make sure to check with your cruise line and the latest government restrictions as requirements can and do change. Some ships, for instance, require passengers to have booster shots.

Great Lakes Cruises That will Inspire You to Explore North America

Five inland lakes make up the “Great Lakes” in North America, and one of the best ways to explore them is by signing up for Great Lakes Cruises. The lakes include Lake Superior, Michigan, Erie, Huron, and Ontario.

They stretch across eight U.S. states and the Canadian province of Ontario, spanning over 745 miles. Together they supply an astonishing 20% of the freshwater of Earth, apart from providing a host of other uses like transportation and recreation.

The Great Lakes are truly beautiful and majestic. When considered as one vast body of water, the surface of the Great Lakes accounts for the largest body of fresh water on Earth. And cruises on the Great Lakes have extraordinary routes and stops on their journey.

What better way to explore the iconic cities, sites, and passageways of these legendary waters than with a scenic cruise? A thrilling expedition will not only uncover some enticing destinations along the five historic lakes but will aptly showcase the breathtaking splendors of its coastline and its spectacular wildlife.

Cruising the Great Lakes

It's amazing that when you're on one of the Great Lakes, you'd think you were on the ocean. They're truly that huge. They're vast and impressive. You'd be amazed at how much there is to do and see on them.

There are five Great Lakes that each offer unique sites and experiences. Great Lakes cruises are a little pricier than European River Cruises in many cases (which we get into, below) but they're well worth the investment for a unique way to explore North America. It also helps support our local economies in the United States and Canada, which is its own way of keeping cruises sustainable .

Best Time to Cruise the Great Lakes

Great Lakes cruises are only offered during warmer months – and that's the best time to cruise. You don't want to necessarily be outside with strong wind, a winter coat, gloves, and a hat. (Unless you're going on a Polar Fjord cruise in Norway , or visiting Antarctica, that is. Haha!)

Cruises on the Great Lakes usually operate from April through October, with the majority of itinerary options happening in June, July, and September.

Late September and early October would be the best time to see the leaves change colors for fall (it's “leaf peeping” season, as they say). It may be colder during this time yet the opportunity to see the splendor of autumn's colorful leaves is a bucket list adventure for many people.

Although there aren't many itineraries in April, keep in mind it is chilly that time of year in the Great Lakes area. You also risk there being leafless tree branches and a lot less greenery in bloom in April than sailing during summer, for example.

Why is the Price of Great Lakes Cruises so Expensive?

We can't tell you exactly why the cruises on the Great Lakes usually cost a bit more than say a Danube River cruise , which you'd have to travel to Europe for yet could still cost less than a Great Lakes Cruise.

But a few contributing factors may be the following:

• Ships that are flagged as United States ships have a higher cost to build them in the United States and staff them with American crew, which costs a bit more than European crew members abroad.
• There's less competition in the United States, with less cruise lines sailing North American waters (partially because of our first point). Less supply but solid demand and interest drives the cost up.
• Tours and excursions in the United States and Canada may cost more and that cost is charged back to the guests, within the price of the cruise.

As with any cruise, you have to investigate what you're getting for the cost . You may get sticker shock from an $8,000 cruise but then realize it's 12 days. The more days, the more the price increases. Compare that with $4,600 for a 7-day river cruise , for example, and you realize it's a similar per-day investment.

Best Great Lakes Cruise Companies

A Great Lakes cruise is ideal if you want to see some of the United States and Canada and have time from late spring to early fall. These cruises are in the north, in areas like Michigan and Illinois, so take the weather into consideration when you book.

With six cruise lines serving this region, this guide will assist in helping you make a call when deciding on the ships, itineraries, and respective destinations worth traveling to.

Generally speaking, any cruise that sails within Michigan, Illinois, or Wisconsin is sailing the Great Lakes. Many itineraries that go from Canada to New England, or the reverse, usually include Lake Ontario, which is to say the cruise itinerary includes at least one of the Great Lakes if not more.

If a cruise includes only one of the Great Lakes, that lake is most typically Lake Ontario, with a cruise starting or ending here, then sailing past the Thousand Islands in Canada, and onto the St. Lawrence River. (The St. Lawrence River stems northeast off the Great Lakes, passing Montreal and Quebec City .)

Viking Expeditions Cruises

This award-winning cruise line has specially designed ships to navigate the remote Great Lakes destinations with the utmost comfort. Their expedition ships, Octantis and Polaris, will debut in 2022. While Polaris will sail Antarctica and the Arctic, Octantis will focus on sailing Antarctica and the Great Lakes.

These Class 6 polar ships can accommodate 378 guests in 189 staterooms. The cabins will be clad in modern Scandinavian design. All of the rooms will have a state-of-the-art feature: a sunroom that can convert into an outdoor balcony where you can read, relax, and have a glass of wine al fresco.

The cabin's floor-to-ceiling glass windows lower to become what Viking has named a “Nordic Balcony.” They'll all have heated bathroom floors too. (An interiors perk we personally love after having visited Norway a few times; it's a common feature in hotels and homes in the country.)

There's an onboard pool and spa to enjoy on Octantis when you're not exploring the ports, and two restaurants (one Italian, the other Scandinavian-inspired). They offer 24-hour room service as well.

Four Viking Octantis itineraries will take you through North America's Great Lakes

Three of them are 8 days, and one is 13 days:

• Undiscovered Great Lakes , from Thunder Bay, Ontario to Milwaukee: An 8-day cruise that begins in Thunder Bay on Lake Superior and zig-zags through beautiful American cities, including Duluth, Minnesota, and Houghton, Michigan. You'll experience an incredible engineering feat as you pass through the Soo Locks on the St. Mary's River, traveling from Lake Superior to Lake Huron.
• Great Lakes Explorer from Milwaukee to Thunder Bay, Ontario: Visit three of the Great Lakes during this 8-day cruise, in addition to Canada's Georgian Bay. You'll pass through the Soo Locks on this cruise as well.
• Niagara & The Great Lakes from Toronto to Milwaukee: The day after you embark on your cruise, you'll visit Niagara Falls and experience its majesty. From there, you'll stop at ports like Detroit and Mackinac Island in Michigan before ending in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
• Canadian Discovery from New York to Toronto: This 13-day cruise starts in NYC and takes you northeast on the Atlantic Ocean, including stops in Nova Scotia, the archipelago Sept-Îles, and Quebec City, before arriving in Toronto on Lake Ontario.

PONANT Explorer Cruises

PONANT has been hosting exceptional voyages in the waters of the Great Lakes and North America for years in their high-end vessels, Le Bellot and Le Champlain . Both can host up to 184 guests in 92 staterooms, which are contemporary in design and even have Hermès® bath products. They have multiple restaurants onboard along with a spa.

Multiple North American offerings allow guests to experience Great Lakes communities from Wisconsin to Toronto, through the St. Lawrence River, onto some of the oldest ports in the United States.

American Queen Voyages (Formerly Victory Cruise Lines)

American Queen Voyages (AQV) ships sailing the Great Lakes are Ocean Navigator and Ocean Voyager, specializing in Great Lakes sailing trips . Each ship has a 202-person guest capacity, with approximately 100 cabins and suites.

Enjoy a pre-voyage hotel night, daily afternoon tea, cocktail hours onboard, and entertainment each night. There are also two dining areas onboard along with a small spa and fitness area.

In 2022, they added unique shoreside overnights based on guest feedback. Guests longed for overnights in iconic cities that American Queen Voyages cruises sail to, just like they're able to enjoy when they sail through Europe on European river cruises . As such, AQV added overnight experiences in Toronto, Mackinac Island, Quebec City , and Montreal during their cruises.

AQV offers several itineraries for Great Lakes Cruises:

• Roundtrip Montreal Quebec : Embark on a 12-day journey, roundtrip to Montreal, that allows you to discover amazing architecture and pockets of nature as you sail along the St. Lawrence River into Lake Ontario during fall. Overnight stays occur in Québec City, Montreal, and Toronto, maximizing your opportunities to tour these great Canadian cities.
• Great Lakes Grand Discovery : A 15-day itinerary that takes guests from Montreal, Canada to Chicago, Illinois, or the reverse. Overnight stays take place on Mackinac Island, and Toronto.
• Splendor of the Great Lakes : An 11-day, open-jaw itinerary that starts in Chicago, Illinois, and ends in Toronto. These May 2022 itineraries include a day of scenic sailing on Lake Huron and Lake Michigan, a stop in Mackinac Island, Michigan, and visit to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
• Lakeside Treasures : A 16-day cruise, starting and ending in Chicago, Illinois, offered in June and July. Some stops include Muskegon, Michigan, on Lake Michigan, and Thunder Bay, Ontario on Lake Superior. If you love days at sea, this cruise is for you: it has four.
• Montreal to Detroit (or the reverse) : This 11-day cruise is offered in September and takes guests through scenic sailings on the St. Lawrence River. After an exclusive tour through Thousand Islands, you'll sail to Lake Ontario to experience Toronto and Niagara Falls before heading to Cleveland and Detroit on Lake Eerie.

Hapag Lloyd Cruises

Hapag Lloyd Cruises is a German cruise company that sails in the United States. Their ship, HANSEATIC inspiration, conducts cruises in both English and German. Conversely, their ship HANSEATIC nature conducts cruises only in German.

The ship was introduced in 2019, and can accommodate up to 230 guests; you'll feel like you're truly in the lap of luxury onboard. They have three restaurants onboard and offer flexible meal times, and have 24-hour cabin service.

They have several outstanding North American itineraries that cruise the Great Lakes . Interestingly, some of their cruises sail well beyond North America, including Greenland in their destinations. Expect to book a cruise between 10 to 18 days, and visit cities such as Toronto, Chicago, Mackinac Island, Sturgeon Bay, Milwaukee, Killarney, Parry Sound, and more.

Pearl Seas Cruises

This small cruise company offers trips on the Great Lakes aboard their vessel, the Pearl Mist . Each room comes with a private balcony and large picture windows. Apart from lounges, spas, a fitness center, and onboard entertainment, guests can take part in optional shore excursions at each destination.

The Pearl Mist's open jaw itinerary for the Great Lakes starts in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and ends in Toronto, Canada. It also stops in:

• Muskegon/Holland, Michigan
• Mackinac Island, Michigan
• Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario
• Little Current, Ontario
• Midland, Ontario

You'll enjoy Victorian towns in the United States and First Nations experiences in Canada along your eight-day journey, offered in June or July.

What each Great Lake has to Offer

Each Great Lake has its own strength that may impact your choice of which one to visit. Overall, however, keep in mind that most cruises offer shore excursions. (Some include them in the cruise costs while it may be an additional item to budget for with others.)

The Great Lakes are truly incredible. They serve as much more than simply bodies of water, providing millions of people with water to drink and nature to explore.

Lake Superior: Outdoor Activities

Lake Superior is the coldest and clearest of all the five lakes. This is perhaps because of its somewhat remote location in the north. (It is the northernmost Great Lake.) It is known for its iconic rock formations, gorgeous agate gemstones, and shipwrecks. Lake Superior shines like a beacon for outdoor explorers and nature buffs.

One of the biggest assets of Lake Superior is Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Its multi-colored sandstone cliffs and formations attract nature lovers on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The best way to enjoy the beauty of the towering rocks is by staring at them from the waterline. You can either kayak or take a Minising Bay lake cruise , departing several times a day.

Cities on Lake Superior cruise ships often visit include Duluth, Minnesota, and Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Lake Michigan: Adventure Sports

From wreck diving to parasailing and kayaking, there is no shortage of opportunities for adventure on Lake Michigan. Over thirty parks are located on the shores of this Great Lake and the islands that dot it. There are a number of stunning spots like Empire Beach, St Joseph, and Grand Haven State Park for beach lovers.

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore gives rise to sandy dunes that reach a height of 450 feet above Lake Michigan. Here, you can swim in the lake, hike through the park or climb the dunes.

Great Lakes Cruises that visit Lake Michigan commonly stop in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Mackinac Island in Michigan. Visitors love Mackinac Island in particular due to its absence of cars (instead, get around the island on foot, bicycle or horse-drawn carriage), small-town charm, Fort Mackinac, and excellent restaurants and pubs.

Lake Huron: Sand Dunes and Relaxation

Lake Huron is known for its sand dunes, wildlife, and islands. Its extensive shoreline is rocky and the lake is home to over 30,000 islands. The Harrisville area may have a great stretch of sandy beaches in the Michigan area (and a pretty white lighthouse, we might add), but St. Ignace serves as an ideal spot for a picnic or walk; it has great views of Michigan's Mackinac Bridge. Bruce Peninsula National Park in Canada, on the Georgian Bay shoreline, is also a popular destination with a grotto visitors enjoy.

It's the second-largest Great Lake and the fourth-largest lake in the world. The Strait of Mackinac connects Lake Huron with Lake Michigan.

The most common area that Great Lakes Cruises stop in on Lake Huron is Mackinac Island.

Lake Erie: Fishing and Birdwatching

This may be the smallest and shallowest of all the lakes, but there is no shortage of natural beauty and wildlife in Lake Eerie. (You can see it while driving along the Great Lakes Seaway Trail , a National Scenic Byway.

It goes from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario.) While all the lakes have adequate fishing, Lake Erie is the most productive, with Yellow Perch, Rainbow Trout, and Walleye being some of the top species caught here.

The Crane Creek State Park , in Ohio, and the adjacent Magee Marsh Wildlife Area is a paradise for birdwatchers. Viewing platforms allow enthusiasts to spot several species at this wildlife refuge.

Detroit and Cleveland are common stops along a Lake Eerie itinerary during Great Lakes Cruises. Niagara Fall is between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and is also popular on Great Lakes cruise itineraries.

Lake Ontario: History Lovers

Lake Ontario is the easternmost of the Great Lakes and attracts about 13 million visitors a year. It is the smallest on a map, but its water runs so deep it holds four times the volume of its neighbor, Lake Erie. (Its depth is also why it never freezes.)

Historically, it has been used as a trading hub for centuries. Also, several Native American communities, including the Huron and Iroquois, still call the area home; their history is displayed in many of the local museums.

Toronto is on Lake Ontario, as is the Thousand Islands, both popular places of interest on Great Lakes Cruise itineraries. Cruise ships often sail from Lake Ontario to the St. Lawrence River towards Quebec, or vice versa.
