Our World on the Water

 

Lake Champlain is the largest freshwater lake in the U.S. after the five Great Lakes, and is one of Vermont´s most sought after destinations. The best way to enjoy the lake is with a cruise aboard the 424 passenger Spirit of Ethan Allen III. Discover the region´s rich history, as the Captain´s narration unfolds tales of Indian lore, the Revolutionary War, and Ethan Allen himself. Explore the depths of the shoreline as the ship cruises alongside the lake´s unique geographic formations. Savor the majestic beauty of the Adirondack and Green Mountain ranges that surround the lake. Bring your cameras--the largest recorded mass sighting of Champ, our elusive lake monster, was aboard the Spirit of Ethan Allen I.
