COLUMBUS all-inclusive package

In autumn, North America's nature holds a wonderful sight in store for you - the deciduous forests turn into an ocean of colours and captivate the eye in the wonderful world of the Great Lakes. However, you will not only be thrilled by gorgeous landscapes, but also by the metropolises on the shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Ontario: Chicago, the birthplace of skyscrapers, and cosmopolitan Toronto. The Soo Lock or the Welland Canal, in which the COLUMBUS is lowered by almost 100 m, are fascinating wonders of technology. Furthermore, the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit will also impress you with American innovations. The Great Lakes - a unique cruise experience.

Highlights of this Cruise

Unique: The Great Lakes

Between the United States and Canada, a huge freshwater miracle extends across a vast area: the five Great Lakes Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Narrow canals and exciting lock passages take the COLUMBUS from lake to lake, past forested mountains that are still home to bears, beavers and even wolves, small and large islands or picturesque little towns dating back to the times of the Pilgrim Fathers. A voyage through a landscape which is one of a kind.

Tranquil Time on Mackinac Island

Play of Colours of the Indian Summer

In autumn, the North American forests glow in the most beautiful colours, and an excursion into Canada's wilderness offers another enchanting experience. The natural landscape in the Agawa Canyon holds even more fascinating sights in store for you: marvel at the waterfalls "Bridal Veil" and "Black Beaver".

Immersing Yourself in Indian Traditions

Manitoulin Island is the largest freshwater island in the world and the homeland of the Ojibwe, Odawa and Potawatomi tribes. On the occasion of a traditional pow-wow, you will listen to the drums and singing of the native inhabitants and let warpaint and feather adornments take you back to bygone days.

The Legacy of Henry Ford

On the trails of a great pioneer of the American automotive industry: the Henry Ford Museum is considered one of the most interesting technology museums in the world.

Passage through the Welland Canal

While precision work is required of the captain, the passengers are free to look on in awe - experience the passage through the almost 45 km long Welland Canal with its eight locks.
