What are some cruise line companies that operate on the Great Lakes?

You can take a cruise across the Great Lakes of North America with the Great Lakes Cruise Company or Pearl Sea Cruises. Both companies offer a variety of cruises on the Great Lakes and surrounding waterways.

Cruise ships sailing on the Great Lakes and associated waterways are smaller than their ocean-going cousins, allowing a more intimate cruise experience. The ships are designed to take advantage of some of the unique features of the waterways on which they traverse, giving patrons access to locks in the Northeast, island ports such as Mackinac Island, and other destinations from the Great Lakes and the rivers and locks that connect them.
