Pearl Seas Cruises is gearing up for its 2026 cruise season.
The season’s first sailing departs May 7 on the 15-night ”Canadian Maritimes & St. Lawrence Seaway” itinerary cruise from Portland, Maine, to Toronto, Ontario.
The second departs May 22 on the line’s 11-night “Great Lakes & Georgian Bay” itinerary from Toronto, Ontario, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and marks the beginning of the company’s Great Lakes season.
All of the line’s voyages are offered aboard Pearl Mist, which was renovated in 2022.
This year, the company is offering four itineraries on the Great Lakes, including a 14-night “Great Lakes Explorer” itinerary that sails all five lakes in a single journey, sailing between Toronto, Ontario, and Duluth, Minnesota.
In 2028, Pearl Seas will debut a new 8-night “Prince Edward Island & Maine Coast” cruise sailing between Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and Portland, Maine.
Most of the brand’s summer cruises on the Great Lakes and spring and fall itineraries throughout the Canadian Maritimes and New England are booked up for 2026; they’re also filling up quickly for 2027 and 2028.
“We are so pleased to begin our 12th season cruising the Great Lakes aboard Pearl Mist. Our crew is the most seasoned team in the region, and their years of experience enhances each of our itineraries on the lakes immeasurably for our guests,” says Carter Robertson, president of Pearl Seas Cruises.
