Suitcasefull Posted June 29, 2015 #29 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Anxious to hear the reports of cruises on this ship. We've traveled with Blount and adored seeing the Great Lakes. Hopefully someone will pick up a trip that includes Superior. What was this ship before she was renamed? Thanks for the links and information re: this line!

Memsahib27 Posted June 29, 2015 #30 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Will let you know how we go - from what I have discovered the ship was most recently the MV Sea Voyager and used as an accommodation ship for a college or similar - and it was built in 2001 and was called Cape May Light (sister to Cape Cod Light) and it seems someone went broke either before it became Sea Voyager or soon after. http://www.cybercruises.com/camaficrcrmay01.htm There is probably more info if you search for it!

claudepaulette Posted July 9, 2015 #39 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Was advised on July 7, by my tour operator that the repairs to the ship are done and the July 23 cruise is a go. This cruise is marketed in France and Quebec. i have no information about the July 14 departure. BTW where is the ship in August? The French cruises restart Aug. 28 and continue into late September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find out after posting that the cruisers will disembark on the Canadian side and then be bused to the US side of the river. At least I can see her dock without crossing over. Maybe our local media will know. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memsahib27 Posted July 13, 2015 #45 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hello - I was concerned about our 21st October booking and received this from the Haimark Line passenger services manager when I queried it: "The MS St. Laurent was involved in an accident in the Eisenhower locks a little over 2 weeks ago. She sustained damage to the front part of her hull and we expected her to be repaired in-time for our July 5th sailing. The repairs though, had taken a bit longer than expected and we had to cancel our July 5th sailing. Our next sailing is the July 14th sailing and repairs are expected to be complete for this cruise. We do not anticipate this accident affecting any further sailings, including the October 21st cruise that you are confirmed on. Their email address is info@haimarktravel.com best of luck!

Yes, our July 5th sailing was cancelled and I see the ship is currently on its way to Montreal. I wonder if the July 14th sailing is going to be reversed, since it was suppose to leave from Chicago.
