Now in their 54th year, we invite you to enjoy a casual cruising experience onboard the Grande Mariner and or the Grande Caribe. BLOUNT SMALL SHIP ADVENTURES offers a less commercialized environment that makes each guest feel like they are a personal guest of the Blount family. Today, small ship cruising in North America has never been more popular and we are pleased to offer you two wonderful Great Lakes Cruise Itineraries from Blount.

Itineraries are specially tailored to the active, inquisitive and eco-conscious travelers and you will visit places that few other cruise ships can go. Their Grande Caribe and Grande Mariner ships have shallow drafts and the wonderful innovation of retractable pilot houses, which allow them to navigate narrow locks, canals, and shallow ports across the Great Lakes. They are the only overnight cruise line able to transit the Erie Canal.

Whether your interest is history, architecture, birding, touring or just relaxing with friends, BLOUNT SMALL SHIP ADVENTURES offers something for everyone. The ships accommodate only 83 passengers, so your cruise experience onboard ship is personal, exclusive, and unique.
