Celebrate 20th-century American ingenuity during a visit to The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation and tour the centuries-spanning collection of works at the renowned Detroit Institute of Arts museum. Learn about the city's maritime heritage or discover Detroit's role in the Underground Railroad."

The ships will be the Viking Octantis and the Polaris. Both can accommodate 378 guests and can operate in the summer and fall in medium ice. Both are to be completed in 2021 and 2022.
