ABOUT GRAND CONTINENTAL
A grand new way to cruise.
The traditions of a great ocean liner. The extraordinary landscapes of the American interior. Welcome to Grand Continental.
The Grand Continental approach
We bring the pleasures of cruising into the heart of the continent: beautifully appointed staterooms, exceptional dining, attentive service, and an itinerary that leaves time to enjoy them all. Our ship travels directly over land, opening a new perspective on the places between our ports.
Every voyage has its own character. Our inaugural season brings together the American heartland, a full calendar of Christmas celebrations, and the world of Sopranos Lego Christmas Movie. From Hutchinson to Rolla, every mile is part of the occasion.
