About Cruising CRUISING IN DULUTH Duluth welcomed a handful of cruise ships in the mid-1990s and early 2000s. However, 2022 saw a new era of passenger cruising come to the Twin Ports. With nine cruise liners steaming under the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge and seven disembarking at the DECC, Duluth is now considered an attractive passenger destination. The summer of 2023 promises another nine ships (seven debarking at the DECC) and the opportunity to watch these regal vessels enter our Duluth-Superior harbor. The cruise industry forecasts more leisure cruises in our area in the years to come. DULUTH ENTERTAINMENT CONVENTION CENTER & CRUISING Duluth is a rare destination where passengers debark into the heart of visitor activity. By coming ashore at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC), passengers start their trip in beautiful Canal Park. Many cruise guests have never been to Minnesota and are delighted by our city, its hospitality, and all it offers visitors. 2023 SCHEDULE May 30, 2023 | Viking Octantis — DECC Harbor Drive | Day Stop (DECC docking) June 13, 2023 | Viking Octantis — DECC Harbor Drive | Day Stop (DECC docking) June 24, 2023 | Viking Polaris — DECC Harbor Drive | Turn Around July 11, 2023 | Viking Octantis — DECC Harbor Drive | Day Stop (DECC docking) July 22, 202 | Viking Polaris — DECC Harbor Drive | Turn Around August 18, 2023 | Viking Octantis — DECC Harbor Drive | Turn Around September 12, 2023 | Viking Polaris — DECC Harbor Drive | Turn Around WATCH THE SHIPS Even if you can’t be here in person, you can still see the action happening in Duluth at any time.
