DETROIT{WWJ} – Detroit got its first visit of the year from a massive cruise ship on Monday, with roughly 300 passengers making a stop for tours in the Motor City.
The 665-foot Viking Octantis docked at the Port of Detroit around 8 a.m. Monday and set sail again around 2 p.m. after taking tours at the Henry Ford Museum and Pewabic Pottery.
As the Great Lakes cruise industry continues to grow, Detroit is set to see a record 67 cruises dock this season, with 11 different ships, according to officials with the Port of Detroit. Last year, a record was set with 52 cruise ships coming to town....
The Octantis is currently on a long, 62-day voyage from Buenos Aires to Milwaukee. It will make stops in Alpena on Tuesday and Mackinac Island on Wednesday before ending the trip in Milwaukee on Thursday....
