It will be at least two years before one cruise company returns for its cruises on the Great Lakes and next summer for a second fleet.
Viking Expeditions had announced the launch of its new ship in late winter, but with COVID-19, it has now postponed the launch until 2022.
In a release, the company says it will launch in the spring using Thunder Bay as its port for embarkation.
Another company, Hapag Lloyd Cruises has all its five cruise ships home in Hamburg.
The 175-passenger Hanseatic Inspiration was to originally sail from Toronto around Lake Huron including Windsor, Tobermory, Little Current, Sault Ste. Marie, Parry Sound and Thunder Bay starting on June 3.
