Creator's Key Takeaways

it's an exciting and growing Cruise destination we are cruising close to home on an 8-day expedition Cruise of the Great Lakes

it's a new Cruise Paradise waiting to be discovered and experienced by ship

my favorite onboard Scenic vantage point is from the indoor Spa pool a pool with a view and nearly everyone on the ship gathers at the bow for the best seat in the house
