Thunder Bay, ON -- The Clelia II arrived in Thunder Bay today after completing a long journey to get here. The ship was completely overhauled in Europe, and left the Mediteranian Sea several weeks ago, headed to the St. Lawrence Seaway. The 290 foot long vessel can accommodate up to 100 guests in 50 suites, each of which affords a lake view. She is 290 feet in length with a beam of 50 feet and is staffed by 60 European officers and crew. Onboard amenities include a restaurant, two lounges with A/V facilities, library with Internet access, gym and spa, beauty salon, boutique, two sun decks, marble-appointed bathrooms and teak floors. Clelia II is on her maiden voyage to the Head of the Lakes. This season kicks off a series of one-week/one-way trips between Toronto and Duluth. Throughout the summer, the Clelia II will return to Thunder Bay a total of six times. Legislation still on the books requires that passenger ships on the Great Lakes must alternate their ports of call between the United States and Canada. "Cruise vessels have called on the Twin Ports periodically in recent years, but its been decades since weve enjoyed regular Great Lakes cruise service or served as a destination and/or origination hub. Maritime, government and tourism leaders have worked collaboratively for over a year to arrange this summer tour and look forward to welcoming the Clelia II and its crew and passengers.
