"The sound of waves lapping against the hull; a boat’s movement through and with the water; views of the natural and human touched landscape; traveling on Lake Champlain gives a different perspective than viewing it from terra firma . . .being on the water deepens our appreciation and awe of the country’s sixth great lake.

After a long hiatus, overnight passenger cruising is back. Once again, one can travel in the style of the bygone steamship era, spending leisurely days on deck watching the Green Mountains and Adirondacks drift by, savoring fine food served in a lovely dining salon, and retiring to sleep in well-appointed staterooms."
