You could see over a dozen cruise ships come to Algoma again this summer after welcoming hundreds of guests last year. Viking Cruises already has eight days on the calendar in 2024, from May 29th to October 1st. Two other cruise liners are also considering stops in the lakeshore community. Last year, dozens of volunteers helped guide day trips into Green Bay and Door County while community members welcomed guests carrying free bags passed out by the chamber. Algoma Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Rosemary Paladini believes the city has established its standing as a friendly place to visit, and it is already paying dividends beyond the additional cruise stops in 2024.
Paladini says they are currently recruiting volunteers to assist in welcoming visitors. Below is the current schedule of cruise ships stopping in Algoma this summer.
