As the largest cruise ship on Lake Champlain, the Spirit of Ethan Allen III offers an unparalleled cruising experience. Based in Burlington, the first cruise ship to hit the water was the Spirit of Ethan Allen I, a 149 passenger paddle wheeler. In 2002, the Spirit of Ethan Allen III was introduced, a magnificent ship that is 140 feet long and can host up to 363 passengers at a time.
It is the only floating restaurant and cruise ship on Lake Champlain, which provides a unique experience for visitors, and it is one of the largest banquet facilities in all of Vermont.
