I am excited to announce that we just received new themes for one of our most popular destinations: the Great Lakes! Originally the Voyage to the Great Lakes cruise, you can now choose to travel July 7th-15th if you are interested in watercolor and art, or depart July 22nd-29th if your heart sings when you hear opera! The Great Lakes is one of the most culturally and historically rich regions in North America. In the company of expert artists, historians, and musicians, experience the extraordinary diversity of America’s Inland Waterways.
