五大湖邮轮季创纪录：2026年经济影响3.1亿美元 乘客2.5万人
五大湖地区旅游官员10月22日上午在密歇根州底特律（Detroit）举行媒体简报，公布2026年五大湖邮轮季创纪录成绩：全年经济影响达3.1亿美元，超过原预估的3亿美元。
全季乘客达25,000人（预估23,000人），靠港880次（预估800次），约95%的航次售罄。简报在底特律/韦恩县港务局总部的 Waterview Lofts 活动中心举行，美国邮轮公司（American Cruise Lines）载客130人的「美国爱国者号」（American Patriot）当时就停靠在附近。
「五大湖邮轮」（Cruise the Great Lakes）旅游主任 Sally Davis Berry 表示，2026年是五大湖邮轮旅游又一个破纪录的年份，更多乘客与靠港意味着更高的岸上消费。出席简报的还有港务局运营主任 John Jamian、Visit Detroit 传播高级主任 Brett McWethy、Travel Michigan 副总裁 Kelly Wolgamott 与「美国爱国者号」船长 Jerry Smith。

Record Great Lakes Cruise Season: $310 Million Impact, 25,000 Passengers in 2026
Tourism officials from across the Great Lakes region gathered in Detroit, Michigan, on the morning of October 22 to announce a record-breaking 2026 Great Lakes cruise season, which generated $310 million in economic impact — above the $300 million projected.
Passenger numbers reached 25,000 (versus 23,000 projected) and port visits 880 (versus 800 projected), with almost 95 percent of itineraries sold out. The briefing was held at the Waterview Lofts event center at the Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority's headquarters, near where American Cruise Lines' 130-passenger American Patriot was docked.
Sally Davis Berry, tourism director for Cruise the Great Lakes, said 2026 was another record-breaking year for cruising in the region, with more passengers and port visits meaning higher shoreside spending. Also speaking were port operations director John Jamian, Visit Detroit senior communications director Brett McWethy, Travel Michigan vice president Kelly Wolgamott and American Patriot captain Jerry Smith.
