• The trip may begin at a Detroit River, or St. Clair River port. The exact departure port will be determined at a later date.
• Because these are commercial vessels, the actual arrival and departure location, dates and times may vary.
• As a commercial fleet, the vessel boarding procedure is via a 45 foot "Fireman Type" ladder. The ability to negotiate this ladder is mandatory.
• Because of customer demand, trips do not end in the same port as they begin. We will try to keep this to a minimum, but cannot guarantee the loading port or unloading port will remain definite. Should this occur, we will assist with return travel arrangements, but cannot compensate passengers for additional travel expenses.
• You must keep your schedule very flexible.
• The length of the voyage will be approximately four to six days.
• A typical voyage may begin in Detroit, Michigan, proceed up the Detroit River and St. Clair River, across Lake Huron, through the St. Mary's River and Sault Ste. Marie locks, across the largest of the Great Lakes, Lake Superior, and finally to Marquette, Michigan. At port, the ship will load its cargo for the return passage.
• The trip is for two couples (4 people maximum) ages 18 and over in good health.
• The trip is only for the 2004 season only and may be taken between the months of June and September. Every effort will be made to accommodate the passenger's desired date for the trip, but no guarantees can be made.
• Passengers will be served meals in the Officers' dining room. All food and beverages are included.
• The uniform of the day is "casual."
• With permission of the ship's Captain, passengers will be shown all areas of the vessel.
