Description
Treat your group to something really unique...Enjoy a relaxing 4-hour cruise aboard the SS BADGER between Ludington, MI and Manitowoc, WI and have your motorcoach sail with you. Live entertainment, spacious decks, food service, and much more.
Services:
Step-on group greeter, group meal plans, driver & escort comp.
The SS BADGER is the last coal-fired passenger steamship in operation in the United States. She has provided a fun, reliable, and affordable shortcut across beautiful Lake Michigan for more than 60 years and has transported millions of passengers since her re-birth in 1992.
The 410ft. SS BADGER can accommodate 600 passengers and 180 vehicles, including RVs, motorcycles, motor coaches, and commercial trucks during her sailing season.
Her unique, bold character takes you back to a period of time when things were simpler – offering valuable time to slow down, relax and reconnect with those you love. She is the continuation of a unique and vital maritime tradition, and we celebrate that heritage on board in fun ways that educate and entertain. Her mission has changed from the days of carrying railroad cars 365 days a year, but the Badger’s role in the hearts of the areas she serves has not.
Enjoy a relaxing 4-hour cruise across Lake Michigan aboard the SS BADGER and choose between numerous amenities available.
