Keweenaw Boat Tours’ new dinner cruise offers space for 34 passengers aboard the Sweet Afton for a cruise on the Portage Canal. Catered by local restaurants, the cruise offers Ambassador pizza night on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and La Catrina fajita night on Fridays and Saturdays. Soon, the cruise will feature local brews, cocktails and NA options for guests, while you explore Houghton’s beautiful landscapes and experience slow-paced canal life.

The Sweet Afton departs from behind the Dee Stadium and delivers a laid back atmosphere, operated by long-time boat captain Jason Swain, owner of Keweenaw Boat Tours. The new cruise is one of Upper Michigan’s only dinner cruises, and offers impressive sunset views during dinner through the fall. Enjoy extraordinary fall colors from the Keweenaw, and experience a unique cruise on the river, with canal views, stunning colors and local eats.
