Detroit is commonly known as The Motor City, as Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler have been producing cars there for more than a century. Though, it’s equally famous as the birthplace of Motown Records, and for its many beloved sports teams.Today, through its revitalization, Detroit has taken on a new appeal. From eye-popping street art and jazz clubs to vintage cars and impressive art deco architecture, the city is vibrant, progressive, and charming. Shop for art, jewelry, artisan crafts, and more at the Eastern Market, the largest historic public market district in the United States, dating back over 150 years. Visit the renowned Detroit Institute of Arts, a remarkable museum located in the heart of Midtown with more than 65,000 works.

In the comfort of a covered zodiac, sail down the Fjord du Saguenay to meet the marine mammals of the St. Lawrence estuary. A major feeding grounding for many marine mammals, the St. Lawrence Estuary is home to blue whales and fin whales and is also a habitat for the beluga and the harbour seal, which reside there year-round. Along the way, your expert guide will provide narration and point out areas of interest. Experience unobstructed views & breathtaking scenery from the privacy of your stateroom. Stop at the Motown Museum in Hitsville, U.S.A., where the world’s biggest independent record company was born.
Premium excursions cost up to $100 per person and select Signature excursions (like the sea plane) cost more. On my Great Lakes cruise I sailed from Milwaukee, stopped at Muskegon and Mackinac Island (in Michigan) and Sault Ste. These smaller port destinations are places I would likely never get to on my own. While your Pearl Seas stateroom will be your home away from home for a week (or more if you choose!), the ship’s public spaces will also figure prominently in your Pearl Seas Cruises experience. Amenities for every Pearl Mist stateroom includes luxury bathroom products, twice daily service, hair dryer, flat screen TV, and excellent visibility. My stateroom was generally very quiet but see my below tip about adjoining staterooms.
Day 7: Day of Cruising
Two nights, the music was provided by local artists while a fabulous and popular musician, Carl Wishneusky, performed the other nights. Even though Pearl Mist does not have the entertainment options of a big cruise ship, there are still plenty of options to keep you busy and hold your interest. Happy hours in the lounges are popular, with complimentary cocktails and fantastic handheld snacks. Enjoy deviled eggs, shrimp on toast, chicken and beef bites, and much more while discussing your fun excursions and explorations that day with others. Another dinner was steamed whole lobster night—and it may have been the best lobster I have had on a cruise ship. Many lunches I went off menu and requested a spinach salad and it really hit the spot.
Located in the heart of Halifax’s waterfront, there is no better place to immerse yourself in Nova Scotia’s rich maritime heritage.

While Mackinac Island is known for its opulent Victorian homes and hotels, it has a long Native American history. Anishinabe-Ojibwe tradition holds that the island was a sacred place populated by the first people and was home to the Great Spirit Gitchie Manitou. On this 7-night voyage, enjoy the beautiful and clear waters of the Great Lakes, the largest freshwater ecosystem in the world.
I loved the pillows, perhaps the best I have experienced on any cruise line. Pearl Mist can stop at small docks, allowing quick and easy access to interesting, unique, and fun places. Larger ships either cannot stop in these smaller ports or have to anchor in the harbor and tender passengers to shore (more time consuming and inconvenient). Pearl Seas Cruises offers wonderful Great Lakes and New England small ship cruises to unique ports in the US and Canada.
The Midland Ontario walking food tour was outstanding, for instance, and I really suggest signing up for it. Because Pearl Mist is a small ship, there is only one dining room with set opening hours. Decide whether to sit with the same people, with no one, or with different people. On the first day onboard, the cruise director will describe all the excursions and the process.
On this amazing journey aboard the Island Queen, we follow in the wake of early explorers as the captain brings the ship surprisingly up-close to the rugged shoreline of Parry Island and the Bay’s remote outer islands. Meander past granite shoals into narrow channels within an eco-system so unique that it has earned World Biosphere Reserve status from the United Nations. Experience the great beauty of Lake Michigan cruises, where pristine shores and stunning vistas await. Delve into the rich history and vibrant culture of the region with our Lake Erie cruises, offering captivating insights into this storied waterway.
During the excursion, discover the beauty of the Magdalen Islands as you visit a variety of sights and attractions. Travel through the villages of Cap aux Meules, Fatima, Étang du Nord, Havre Aubert, and Havre aux Maisons, with several stops. Explore the Îles de la Madeleine Archipelago, an exotic miniature paradise featuring a treasure trove of tasty, tempting locally produced foods, and where the warmth and generosity of the inhabitants are legendary. On this a slow and gentle journey, enjoy coffee and tea as you admire the beautiful scenery of Charlottetown Harbor through large open windows. Revel in the bliss of the scenery that surrounds you from your private balcony.
Wind down with the slow-paced lifestyle of Mackinac Island where visitors and residents travel by bicycle, horse-drawn carriage, or on foot. Let us introduce you to the personalized service, fine dining, enriching onboard activities, and guided shore excursions that are the hallmark of small ship cruising with Pearl Seas Cruise Line.
