Why Cruise Lake Superior

Your curiosity is natural. As America’s most undiscovered place, there is a lot of mystique surrounding Lake Superior and what makes it so alluring. To help you see through the mist, we’ve created a list of just a few of the many reasons to cruise Lake Superior. 

Experience something you can’t experience anywhere else in the world. By now you know that Lake Superior is the largest* source of fresh water in the world and the largest of the Great Lakes. It’s home to engineering marvels such as the Duluth Lift Bridge and Soo Locks. It’s rich in Native American cultures and steeped in geological, geopolitical, and early industrial American history. The shores and open waters are a world of their own with untouched natural beauty and abundant, untamed wildlife. A place to engage with nature, explore the undiscovered, and sleep in luxury. Honestly, it’s something you have to experience to understand.

Unfiltered. The beauty in and along the lake is the kind of wild, raw, uncut beauty that is becoming so rare. Kayak through sandstone caves carved by relentless water, see forests nearly spilling into the lake, watch wildlife in action, and breath in the clean air as it travels over clear, deep blue water.

Unencumbered. It’s hard to experience the peacefulness of nature when you are surrounded by people. In our neck of the woods, you can move from water to forest to small town and never feel crowded because there simply isn’t a crowd. With thousands of miles of shoreline and trails, there is more than enough opportunity to see what tranquility feels like and reacquaint yourself with chosen solitude and peace. 

Relaxed, unpretentious, and authentic. That is how it feels on Lake Superior, from the lakeside towns to the bigger cities. It’s part of the small-town charm we find as we travel from place to place.  Each destination captures the history of the area, embracing its uniqueness, while having distinct characteristics and charms of today.

Artists haven. Lake Superior is a sirens call to artist of every discipline. Beyond the classic forms of art such as pottery, painting, sculpting, you’ll find textile artists, chefs, and crafters of all kinds. The MENAGERIE of creatives fills the towns with great eats, unique gifts, and one-of-a-kind works of art.

Become a Local. This area is a hub for true work-llife balance. When you meet a friendly face at the boat launch or on the trail, chances are they’re a local. After work, on the weekends or holidays, locals are hitting the trails, jumping into kayaks or on to boats to spend their spare time in the great outdoors right outside their doors. Whether it’s sunset vistas, waterfalls just off the hiking trail, a favorite fishing hole or birding spot, residents love exploring the area just as much as you will. 

Exploration by day, incredible conversations by night. This is one of the joys of cruising. Your daytime explorations become the evening’s fascinating conversation as you exchange ideas with like-minded travelers in the comfortable lounges on deck. Your conversations can last as long as you like without the hassle of navigating from town to town or re-packing to check out of a hotel in the morning.

Leisure, deep relaxation, and revitalization. When cruising Lake Superior you move seamlessly between immersive nature and luxury. Hear the call of the loon, smell the fresh clean air, feel the cool waters, see the untouched beauty and walk or kayak among it all. It’s a meditation, it’s play, it’s a sense of wonder, and at the end of the day is a chef prepared meal, a relaxing hot shower, and turn down service on luxury sheets. However you like to unwind, you can on a Lake Superior cruise.

*Lake Superior is an experience like no where else in the world.
