The Best Great Lakes Destinations for 2025

Chicago, IL

Chicago, Illinois

Chicago, Illinois. Nicknamed the Windy City, Chicago is an essential cruise destination that’s only expected to grow in popularity for 2025. Cruise ships arrive and depart from the city at the historic Navy Pier — an attraction in its own right. Navy Pier hosts the famous Centennial Wheel and the Chicago Children’s Museum, bringing in around 9 million travelers each year. Making your way into the city, you’ll be surrounded by mesmerizing architecture and history in places like the Miracle Mile. Or, you can explore the arts with the famous Chicago Bean (officially named “Cloud Gate”) and the Art Institute of Chicago. However you spend the duration of your voyage in the US’ third largest city, it’s bound to be an exciting time.

Duluth, MN

Duluth, Minnesota

Duluth, Minnesota​. A hidden gem that’s still rising to prominence, this history-filled city is much more than its famous Aerial Lift Bridge. Duluth, Minnesota is home to attractions like the Great Lakes Aquarium and Glensheen Mansion, a 20,000 square foot historic building that was once home to Duluth-based industrialists, Chester and Clara Congdon. Places like this tell the story of not just Duluth, but of Minnesota and its relationship with the Great Lakes. You’ll find lots more to do when in this delightful city, leading to its ongoing popularity with area tourists.
