On June 16th, the City of Algoma will be considered an International Port of Entry as they welcome the passenger cruise ship Viking Polaris to our shores. Algoma is the only city in Wisconsin to host the Viking Polaris on their Great Lakes Collection 15-day cruise touring all five of the Great Lakes. Leaders from the city and the chamber will welcome the captain at the Algoma City Marina upon arrival with various items representative of the area.
“Algoma is excited to welcome passengers and crew from the Viking Cruise ship as well as visitors from near and far who will come here to see the ship along our shores in Lake Michigan. We are thrilled and honored to be hosting the Viking cruise ships eight times in 2023!”, states Rosemary Paladini, Executive Director of the Algoma Area Chamber of Commerce.
The Algoma Area Chamber of Commerce has solicited volunteers to staff a pop-up welcome stand near the Algoma marina where they will help answer questions and share information about Algoma businesses and attractions. What will make the volunteers recognizable at the welcome stand, the visitor center and throughout the city will be the Algoma Ambassador tshirts. The shirts are a high vis yellow with “Algoma Ambassador” on the front. On the back, they invite visitors to use the SCAN ME! QR code which will direct them to an Experience Algoma page where they can locate dining, shopping, arts, entertainment, and special cruise day sales & events. Rosemary wants to remind everyone, “If you spot an Algoma Ambassador feel free to chat them up and they will share information about Algoma and all we have to offer to make your stay enjoyable!”
