Great Lakes Grand Discovery
Nearly 15,000 years ago, the last of the great glaciers retreated, leaving behind the five Great Lakes: Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario. Those vast bodies of water contain more than one-fifth of the planet’s fresh surface water, and together make up the largest body of freshwater in the world.
On the M/V Victory I, a small ship exclusively designed for coastal cruising, you delve into North America’s maritime history throughout the lakes, set sail on the storied Georgian Bay, admire the natural beauty of Niagara Falls and take in the breathtaking vistas of the southern Canadian coast.
On this incredible voyage, be sure to take in included attractions such as Mackinac Island’s Grand Hotel, the Henry Ford Museum and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Shore Excursions Highlights
Mackinac Island (Michigan)
Step back in time on Mackinac Island, where cars are forbidden, and people get around by horse and carriage, bicycle or on foot. The aroma of homemade fudge fills the air as you stroll along the streets of the Victorian village. Popular sites on the island include a butterfly conservatory, Arch Rock, Fort Mackinac and, of course, the breathtaking Grand Hotel.
The Henry Ford Museum (Detroit)
Located just outside of Detroit, The Henry Ford Museum was created to document the genius of extraordinary people. Housed in a sweeping, 9-acre, single floorspace with soaring, 40-foot ceilings, the museum is dedicated to showcasing the finst collection of its kind. The sheer scope and design of the structure are as grand as the vision that inspired it.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (Cleveland)
Come immerse yourself in musical history. Established in 1983, this structure is housed in a building designed by I.M. Pei, and is dedicated to preserving the history of some of the best-known and most influential musicians, bands and producers who paved the way for rock music today. Hear the sounds of rock and roll and feel the rhythm during this incredible experience.
