Viking Cruise Ship Will Visit Traverse City

Viking Cruises, one of the world's leading cruise lines, will introduce a new Great Lakes tour starting 2022, featuring a stop in Traverse City. The Great Lakes tour will be made via the new 378-passenger Viking Octantis (pictured).

The new, eight-day "Niagara and the Great Lakes" cruise will travel from Toronto to Milwaukee, with stops at the Welland Canal and Niagara Falls; Point Pelee on the Ontario side of Lake Erie; Detroit, Alpena, Mackinac Island and Traverse City. 

Prices start at $1,250 per night per passenger.

The ship will feature a 330-square-foot laboratory, where scientists and guests can collaborate on marine research.

Travel + Leisure recently named the Great Lakes as one of the "50 Best Places To Travel In 2020."
