Shoreline Cruises Aboard the S.S. Badger Carferry

Celebrate on the S.S. Badger Carferry by taking one or all of the shoreline cruises offered during the summer months. It’s a guaranteed fun time for all!

If you’ve never taken a trip across Lake Michigan aboard the S.S. Badger, start small and take a Shoreline Cruise! Each summer cruise lasts approximately two hours. It’s time to join in the festivities and celebrate this grand ship. For all cruises, tickets are non-refundable but are transferable. The ticket price does not include the security fee. Kids under five are always free. No passes will be accepted for the shoreline cruises, and they go on rain or shine.
