On the Great Lakes, Victory II kicked off Green Bay's expanded 2026 season at Leicht Park, part of a tripling to six cruise calls and a regional boom expected to draw 25,000 passengers. And Atlas Ocean Voyages reports sales up 49% year-over-year, fueled by surging expedition demand and excitement for the new Atlas Adventurer launching in 2028.

    Jun 18 2026
    Port Canaveral advances a $95 million upgrade of Cruise Terminal 10 — expanding security and luggage handling, fixing the trench-drain failures that caused sinkholes, and readying the building for ships up to 6,700 guests like Disney Wish and MSC Seashore — as the record-setting homeport handles 8.6 million passenger movements a year.
