Apostle Islands Cruise

On the Cruise Boat

We traveled on the "Island Princess" which will carry up to 140 passengers, with a maximum of 50 on the upper deck.

Dan, Jo and Donna enjoy the comfort of the lower cabin, sheltered from the wind and cool weather. The windows slide open for picture taking or a breeze during hot weather. > > >

< < < The upper deck passengers were bundled up for the cool air and the morning breeze. The first 50 tickets purchased have the option of seating in the upper deck.

Raspberry Island Cruise
A few years later the repairs to the lighthouse and grounds were finished and we took a cruise to the island and the Park Service's special Apostle Island Raspberry Island Lighthouse Tour (go here for photos and information on the tour).
