This comes from nearly 600 port calls by more than 20,000 individual passengers.
Economic impact
Cruise the Great Lakes anticipates the regional economic impact generated will surpass $200m, a nearly 50% increase compared to 2022.
Scheduled ships include Ponant’s Le Champlain, Pearl Seas Cruises' Pearl Mist, Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris, St. Lawrence Cruise Lines' Canadian Empress and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises' Hanseatic Inspiration.
'The history of Great Lakes cruising extends back over 150 years, and the rich natural beauty of our region continues to captivate passengers in 2024,' said Anne Sayers, secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Tourism and chair of Cruise the Great Lakes. 'This enduring fascination is a testament to the timeless allure of the Great Lakes, and the economic impact of cruise passengers supports the economic vitality of large and small destinations.'
