What a great time to be in Duluth for ship watching! In addition to all the lakers, there was the Navy warship that was recently commissioned and now the beautiful Viking cruise ship. Way to go Duluth.
@@jonathanellsworth21 A German cruise company used to come to Duluth. My husband and I came up from St. Cloud to watch it come in. It was their first voyage through the Great Lakes. When they got to the locks at Sault Ste Marie everyone had to disembark the ship. It was one of the widest to ever come through the locks even though they built the ship to the lock specifications but they feared expansion. If that happened all the windows would break causing serious injuries. So several guests on board the ship told us how they all got off the ship with some staff and officers and walked behind the ship.
Beautiful, like a ghost suddenly appearing before your eyes. Majestic and silent until announcing her arrival with a mighty blast of her voice! Great too see passenger travel on our Great Lakes again!!!!
Thank you for posting this amazing video! My spouse and I are now booked for a cruise on Viking Octantis next year for our 50th birthdays. I never knew such a ship existed, and the chance to cruise from Toronto to Milwaukee is one we're very excited about!
Since they brought back lake travel for passengers to enjoy traveling the lakes its awesome to see. I miss my steam passenger ships since they're cut up and gone after mackinaw Bridge opened in the fifties, but still it's nice to see history in modern times brought back. Duluth got to enjoy lake passenger ship travel like those in California and Florida see the Cunard liners.
@@falcondragonslayer their will end up being more. Not sure how much but for this year they can come every Monday. Next year the port should be fully open
They way she emerged from the mist…breathtaking. Also, I was surprised she saluted, even if it wasn’t a standard salute Edit: Never mind, the salutes were just fog whistles, not a salute
Not really a salute but a standard procedure for vessels over 120" underway in fog. They are supposed to sound a long blast at 2-minute intervals or less.

Bring a sweater, sweatshirt, or a jacket. Even on long summer days it could be cool or even chilly out on deck. Especially evenings and nighttime. But it would indeed be a “cool” cruise. 🛳 😎
@@Island_Line_Rail_Productions that’s how cruise ships work, they arrive, let their guests explore or give them guided adventures, then move on in the evening, before returning with a new crowd later
@@jonathanellsworth21 what's so funny? I am new to this channel. I was only saying it was on the news. In minnesota. That's how I found out. Mrthinkyoualldat.
It seems like a great idea! The Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway, all so very beautiful and historic. It takes you back to the days of the French fur trappers, who generally got along well with the First Nations tribes.
@@karenc8773 There are also Mississippi River cruises. I’ve no idea of the cost, but the bigger ocean cruises can be less expensive because of the economies of vessel size. More passengers per cruise equals reduced cost per passenger.
Well when you think about it… Brand new ship, first time to Duluth, tight canal, tight corner. Media coverage, severe storm inbound (luckily the heavy stuff missed but still wind). On top of that fog so dense that they’re probably completely blind except for GPS They had their hands full and then some!

Wow she just suddenly appeared like a phantom ghost ship out of the fog
Incredible appearance from the misty fog! Beauty of a vessel. 🛳💎

Tall Ships coming up to Two Harbors in August
Duluth, MN?
@@rraddena yes, Duluth, MN
First cruise ship I’ve seen going into Duluth! Been watching this channel for close to two years! Fantastic to watch 👍
She’s the first major passenger vessel Duluth’s seen in decades, and the largest ever to sail the lakes
@@jonathanellsworth21 What's her port of call?
@@thebabbler8867 it seems to switch between Thunder Bay, Milwaukee and Toronto, big circle that takes three trips/weeks it looks like

Cruised Viking in Mediterranean, wonderful experience. Beautiful ship!! Loved seeing the ship appear out of the fog!!
About $1000 dollars a day to be on this ship....
Gorgeous sight appearing out of the fog like that. What a beautiful ship 🛳

Welcome to Duluth passengers. The weather will remain like this for the next 3 weeks. I hope you brought your long johns!
What a treat! So sleek and beautiful
WOW!!! What a gorgeous ship!!!
Duluth has it all this spring, warship and now a luxury cruise ship!
I ran down to the Canal to watch her depart ----- just stunning !! ❤️
Every ship entering must do so under heavy fog conditions until further notice! It looks so cool!
I recall seeing luxury boats in Duluth when I was younger, but nothing like this!
As it appeared out of the fog, I was thinking,"Is that a cruise ship?" Yes, it is. Didn't know they passed through there.
First in 10 years
They haven’t in a long time. I wonder if this means they’ll be cruisers regularly visiting the lakes now, or if this was just a one-off
@@falcondragonslayer Scheduled for once a month
@@falcondragonslayer their will end up being more. Not sure how much but for this year they can come every Monday. Next year the port should be fully open
Duluth is investing in a cruise terminal and that should be in full swing next year.
The bow on this one reminds me of a old Battleship...cool!
It approached The Soo on a bed of fog too. She is a magnificent vessel.
Damn it’s so foggy I couldn’t see it either and I have a great view of the harbor
Beautiful.....thank you!💞💓💞🎥

@@spinosaurusrex11 Pretty sure most ships are over 120 inches
@@falcondragonslayer Surprisingly....they look much bigger than they actually are. Those are fog whistle signals by the way. .....
Still love to hear them sound off. ❤️
Fantastic wat a view.
Whoa, that's nuts seeing a cruise ship in Canal!
Beautiful.
Wow, what a beauty to see a cruise ship stroll in. Worried if it would squeeze under ariel bridge.
Ha ha, this excellent video was loaded with suspense! Great foghorns too.
I think they dropped the lake level so it could fit under the bridge! 😁 😎
I was down there in person
I am jealous!

Ghost ship, and the fog makes it more eerie
“Captain! This isn’t Miami!!”
“What the…FOG?!”
She is so beautiful inside and out.
That is quite a cruise ship for the Great Lakes. She is a beauty. Sure do love the sound of that fog horn.
That, I wish I was able to see in person !
talk about going in blind, amazing how thick fog doesn't stop her arrival in such conditions
Shipboard radar does a great job seeing through the foggy conditions. Same for hard, driving rain and snowstorms.
Thanks for the radio chatter
Ледяной горою лайнер
Из тумана вырастает,

Lake Superior is an Icy sea for sure.
Very nice...
Looking very nice..
What a beauty!
boy, she's a beaut!
I believe they were just in Milwaukee. Man, I'd love to cruise the Lakes!
Just beautiful.
That would have been cool to see, make me want to go on a Vikings Cruise! :)
What a beautiful boat, that was nice!
Seen it come through the Soo Locks twice now. Really is quite the sight!
A foggy day in Duluth…..what a rare event !!!
It's a Ghost Ship!, Run!...😋
wow.....................talk about " threading the needle " !! THUMBS UP !!!
Had no idea cruise ships came into here. Wow.
This is the first!
First in a few years, they've been here before. Were a common sight many decades ago.
@@jonathanellsworth21 first in 10 years
Sorry Octantis passengers for not having a fancy place to disembark. You are the first American Cruise ship in decades to visit
ICEBERG!!...straight ahead.....
I just looked up this ship, and the cost of a trip on this ship.... WOW. Mind boggling prices.
this would be a cool cruise to take.
Bring a sweater, sweatshirt, or a jacket. Even on long summer days it could be cool or even chilly out on deck. Especially evenings and nighttime. But it would indeed be a “cool” cruise. 🛳 😎
Well that was cool. Wonder how often these kinds of passenger ship go through these locks?
it must be hard navigating such a large ship in that fog, i assume the captain has radar and other fancy gadgets though.
Amazing !!
That’s cool watching the cruise ship come out of the fog. Wish I was in town to watch it come through. How long is it in town for?
It left at 6pm CDT.
@@tomsamuelson8512 why such a short time in harbor?

In for a load of taconite? 🤣
Love this stuff
I have a perfect view of it from park point
FANTASTIC!!!
I’ve never seen a cruise ship come into Duluth before.
Beautiful ship.
cool sight
So they have passenger ships on the Great Lakes now? Sorry, same I have watched channel off and on for yrs also and have not seen or know of this.
For those that didn't know. Must not watch the news either. It was on the news about coming to Duluth.
There are people all around the world who watch this channel lol. They don’t get Duluth local news!

@@markhuotari3909 thank you mark.!!!
Tomorrow she will be in bay field, WI.. they bought all the Apostle Island cruise tickets 🎫
How much did it clear bridge by ?
When government keeps out of the way good things like this are built!
That's SO AWESOME!! I wish people would wave more!!!
Wonderful video. Thanks
Very cool!
Mr Scott: Captain, thar be whales!
I guess he does not use the customary captain's salute.
did not know passenger ships cruises the great lakes

I looked into a great lakes cruise several years ago. Very expensive

They say a Foggy Arrival is a timeless arrival.
No salute from the bridge?
UM TITÃ ESCONDIDO NA NÉVOA.
Wow!
What is a cruise doing in Duluth?
Now that's what you call a ghostly appearance.
How much room was there to spare when going under the lift bridge? It looked like not a lot.
Oh yeah there was room
💖
Is this 6:06 am or pm?
Am
😍
Cruise ships are hauling commodities to help ends meet😉
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
if its not a foggy whether, then the ship would be seen as a romantic ship i think
Today I learned: Cruise ships call at Duluth!
the first in 10 years
The bridge didn't return the horn salute?
Those were fog whistles....not salutes.
👍👍👍
We have to support these trips. I think they are cheap anyway
How long is this ship
665 ft
@@fawnner thank you I’m so glad it’s not the new longest ship on Great Lakes
Ghost 👻 ship 🛳
Captain doesn't seem to know the proper salute

On top of that fog so dense that they’re probably completely blind except for GPS They had their hands full and then some!
In this weather. A single long blast is required.
A bit surprised tho the bridge tender did not give a toot reply
Most likely was fog warning horn blasts, no salute.
Salutes are a waste of time meant only to please self-righteous entitled cry baby boat watchers.
