Look for our ad on page 17!
There are two ferries that cross Lake Michigan. The S.S. Badger whose home port is our own Ludington, Michigan and the Lake Express operating from Muskegon. For lots of reasons, we are partial to the Lake Michigan ferry S.S. Badger. Guests often ask Suzette or myself to expain the significant differences in the two boats and the services they offer. To learn about the differences in the boats and services, read an article published by the Detroit Free Press "You Haven't Lived Here Until..." You ride a ferry to Wisconsin.
The 410 foot S.S. Badger operates between Ludington, Michigan and Manitowoc, Wisconsin. These two Lake Michigan ports mark the shortest route across the lake.
 S.S. Badger
Although the S.S. Badger operates on a seasonal basis, its solid, traditional design was intended for year round sailing. This dependable design allows the S.S. Badger to offer passengers more amenities and more fun. On board there are free movies, a variety of food and beverage options, ample seating, quiet areas, a museum and a boutique. Outside are wide, covered decks, gathering areas and comfortable seating.
The S.S. Badger's home port of Ludington, Michigan is an outdoor lovers dream. Ludington is a great place to 'home base' and explore the Lake Michigan region serviced by the S.S. Badger.
