We had a comfortable ride with plenty of amenities. The price made our trip more economical than driving from Michigan to Wisconsin.

Originally from Manitowoc I now live in Memphis, TN and anytime I come home in the summer time I usually will take the “cruise” and always enjoy the crossing.

I am a local on the Ludington side of the puddle. We have found that Manitowoc is wonderful spot for a walking trip. Maritime Museum, great selection of amazing food, very easy to use bus system, water park and a nice little zoo. Don't delay, make plans for your get away today.

Fun and interesting experience. Staff were friendly and efficient. Loaded and unloaded quickly. Do wish Lake Michigan had been more friendly with nicer weather! Otherwise an enjoyable experience.
