Great Lakes Cruises to Include Rochester
Rochester will be a stop on some Great Lakes cruises next year, marking a significant boost to local tourism.
Despite the growing popularity of Great Lakes cruises, Rochester has been overlooked in recent years, with other cities like Toronto, Detroit, and Milwaukee benefiting from the influx of passenger ships.
However, this is set to change with the introduction of the American Patriot, a brand-new luxury cruise ship, which will make regular stops in Rochester as part of a nine-day cruise.

According to local tourism and government officials, the lack of cruise stops in Rochester has been a mystery, but they have been working to rectify the situation.
Local tourism and government officials told CITY magazine two years ago they couldn’t explain the ghosting but would be working to rectify it.
American Cruise Lines, a well-established domestic company, will be operating the Great Lakes service, which is expected to have a positive impact on Rochester's self-image.
