The Greatest Lake, 5 September 2030

Cruise overview

Toronto’s cosmopolitan harborfront falls away toward Lake Ontario’s far shore, calling first at Kingston, its UNESCO listed limestone streets and star shaped Fort Henry set among the fabled Thousand Islands. Lock through the Welland Canal to Port Colborne, threshold to Niagara’s wine country and thundering falls, then continue to Cleveland, where the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame anchors a revived Lake Erie waterfront. At Sault Ste. Marie, freighters rise and fall through the historic Soo Locks on the gateway to Lake Superior, the greatest of the Great Lakes, before the voyage reaches its wildest stretch. Rossport’s sprinkle of islands and hidden waterfalls give way to Red Rock, its towering cliffs framing traditional Ojibwe lands, and Thunder Bay, where the Sleeping Giant watches over a reconstructed fur trading fort and thundering Kakabeka Falls inland. Retracing the lakes toward journey’s end, arrive in Detroit along the storied river, its reborn riverfront, world class art museum and Motown’s birthplace studios pulsing with the rhythm of an American comeback.
