CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cleveland is set to welcome a record number of cruise passengers this summer, as Great Lakes cruising continues to grow in popularity and Northeast Ohio is included as a stop on more itineraries.

According to the Port of Cleveland, 53 cruises will dock downtown this summer, carrying as many as 10,000 passengers. That’s nearly twice as many cruise stops as 2019, the year before the coronavirus pandemic shut down the cruise industry in the Great Lakes and across the world.
