Traverse City (Pass by)
Prepare to be mesmerized by the beauty of Traverse City on our unforgettable 2-hour cruise. Glide along the sparkling waters and soak in breathtaking views of the Traverse City shoreline and the picturesque Old Mission Peninsula. Discover the grandeur of the historic Park Place Hotel from a unique vantage point and gain a fascinating perspective of the Great Lakes Maritime Academy. Whether you prefer to simply sit back and relax or wish to actively participate in sailing the ship, the choice is yours! Fall sailing can be an exciting gamble; sometimes it's a brisk breeze and a quick sail, and sometimes you'll get reminders of the past summer with warm breezes and sunny skies. Either way you choose to spend your cruise aboard the beautiful Manitou, one thing is certain: you'll be captivated by the experience and eager to return for more!
