Cruising the Great Lakes: Chicago to Toronto

The mighty Great Lakes have played a vital role in the history and cultural fabric of North America for centuries

Our new 12-day small ship cruise invites you to explore their storied waters – and some of the unique cities and towns that have grown along their shores – with a 7-night Great Lakes cruise between Chicago and Toronto aboard the beautiful yacht Le Champlain, plus two-night stays at your choice of premium hotels in these two great anchor cities. You’ll sail through Lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron and Michigan, calling on destinations including Detroit, Mackinac Island, Traverse City and more. Explore urban planning and revitalization in a re-emerging Detroit; celebrate American invention and ingenuity at The Henry Ford in Dearborn; visit Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore; enjoy lunch at Mackinac Island’s Grand Hotel; ride a dune buggy along the Lake Michigan shore; sample Holland, Michigan’s Dutch heritage, tulips and beer culture; experience a Wrigley Field tour, an architectural cruise and a taste of Chicago in America’s “Second City,” and much more!
