Not every day a cruise ship drops anchor in Sturgeon Bay, but that is exactly what happened Friday afternoon at Graham Park.

Approximately 130 passengers were on the Ocean Navigator when it sailed into Sturgeon Bay on its way from Green Bay. At least that many people were enjoying the sunshine and the scenery in Graham Park as they got to see the five-story cruise ship slide into the shore to dock for the day. Guests slowly filed off the ship to either walk around Sturgeon Bay or hop on a bus where they would then be driven to the Door County Maritime Museum and a winery.

Tourism officials greeted the passengers with a gift bag full of information and special offers to officially welcome them to the city. Destination Sturgeon Bay Executive Director Cameryn Ehlers-Kwaterski says it was a tremendous opportunity to show off the city and the county to dozens of people from across the country.

Guests coming off the five-floor cruise ship remarked how warm of a reception they received and how beautiful of an area it was compared to other spots where the boat docked earlier in the cruise. The guests were expected on board by 6 p.m. before they headed off to Muskegon, Mich.
