🛳️ From Mackinac Island to Thunder Bay: Explore the Great Lakes in Style

America's Great Lakes are an unspoiled wonderland, known for their diverse natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and some of the most fascinating cities in North America. Spanning over 750 miles with 10,000 miles of coastline, the Great Lakes cover an area twice as large as Pennsylvania.

One of the unique experiences is gliding silently by kayak past otters in Georgian Bay. The roar of Niagara Falls provides a majestic auditory backdrop, while hiking through verdant old forests offers a serene connection to nature. The prominent museums in Canada showcase art inspired by these magnificent shores.

The Great Lakes cruise allows you to explore the largest freshwater ecosystem on earth, with opportunities to observe wildlife such as bald eagles, moose, bears, and beavers. Hiking through stunning forests in this pristine environment reveals the untouched beauty of the region.

A deeper understanding of Canada’s colonial past and the significance of the St. Lawrence River adds a historical dimension to the journey. Georgian Bay, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is a perfect spot for kayaking, providing breathtaking views and serene paddling experiences.

Art enthusiasts can marvel at the world-class collection of the Milwaukee Art Museum, while nature lovers will enjoy exploring the tranquil and scenic Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The engineering marvels of the Welland Canal and the Soo Locks demonstrate the ingenuity and skill involved in navigating these vast waters.

Each of these highlights contributes to a truly memorable Great Lakes cruise, blending natural beauty, wildlife, history, and culture into an unforgettable adventure.

Viking's Great Lakes Explorer cruise on the Viking Octantis, for example, is a luxurious and unforgettable experience. Highlights include the charming Mackinac Island, the historic Fort Mackinac, delicious dining options, live entertainment, the impressive Soo Locks, and breathtaking natural sights like the Sea Lion Arch and Kakabeka Falls. The cruise offers a unique blend of luxury, history, and natural beauty.

⚾ Lively Secures Seventh Win, Guardians Top Blue Jays 6-3

Cleveland Guardians fans were initially uncertain about their starting pitching lineup after Shane Bieber was sidelined for the 2024 season. However, Ben Lively, a seemingly under-the-radar offseason signing, has stepped up impressively.

On Saturday, the 32-year-old pitcher secured his seventh win of the season as Cleveland triumphed over the Toronto Blue Jays with a score of 6-3. Lively pitched 5.2 innings, giving up three hits, two earned runs, and two walks, while striking out four batters in 82 pitches, 57 of which were strikes. Both of his earned runs came from two-out solo home runs.

Lively's recent performance marks his sixth win in his last seven starts. He now holds a 7-3 record with a 3.03 ERA, 56 strikeouts, and only 20 walks in his first 12 starts with the Guardians.

Lively's career has been a journey. After debuting in MLB with the Philadelphia Phillies and Kansas City Royals from 2017 to 2019, he spent the next three years with the Samsung Lions in the Korean Baseball Organization. He returned to the U.S. to play with Triple-A Louisville in 2022 and then made 19 appearances for the Cincinnati Reds last year, recording a 4-7 record with a 5.38 ERA, 79 strikeouts, and 25 walks.

Originally drafted by Cleveland in the 26th round of the 2010 MLB Draft out of Gulf Breeze High School in Florida, Lively opted to attend the University of Central Florida instead. Fourteen years later, he is now making a significant impact for the first MLB organization that drafted him.
