Destination: Duluth, Minnesota
Featured with Lake Superior Cruises
Duluth cruises take you to a city that tends to fly under the radar as American cities go. But, what it lacks in fame, it more than makes up for in uniqueness. The city is an industrial mainstay on Lake Superior with its Duluth-Superior Harbor. Each day, the harbor sees tons of ships -- from pleasure sailings to cargo -- going in and out of its harbor. The harbor's Aerial Lift Bridge is its most notable feature. Instead of splitting at the middle like most drawbridges, the Aerial Lift Bridge lifts itself entirely, like an elevator.
