Visit Duluth has shown us the new Viking Ocantis ship that will sail into port in 2022.
The Expedition ship will be taking trips from the Duluth Harbor and other ports like Thunder Bay, Lake Michigan, the Apostle Island, Houghton MI, Mackinac Island, and Milwaukee, with other destinations planned.
The one that a lot of people will be excited about is the vessel that will be taking passengers to Antarctica. The ship just hit the water and Viking wanted to give people a sneak peek. The ship holds 378 people. The company will build a sister ship that will look just like the Ocantis and be called the Viking Polaris. That ship will also debut in 2022.
Duluth s Lakewalk hugs several miles of the city s Lake Superior shore, from the Canal Park tourist district all the way to Brighton Beach.
With its sweeping view of the lake and the city, the trail is a destination for locals and the more than 6 million people who visit the city every year.
But for the past few years, it’s also been an active construction site, as the city slowly rebuilds the Lakewalk after sections of it were ripped to pieces by a series of intense storms a few years ago first in October 2017, then April 2018 and again in October that same year.

December 14, 2020
DULUTH, Minn. – The Duluth Harbor Mission is continuing to collect donations during this holiday season to help those in need. The organization is still accepting stocking caps and warm gloves along with nonperishable food items.
Management at the mission says it’s important to be serving the community in this capacity, especially during the pandemic.
“I think people are concerned,” said Veronica Ciurleo, the executive director of Duluth Harbor Mission. “There is a level of almost a fear of what’s going to happen tomorrow. Am I going to have enough? And a lot of people right now are also not working.”
