Duluth embarkation/docking location

Does anyone know where the Viking “Great Lakes Collection” Expedition ship docks in Duluth, Minnesota? Thanks!

Don't know for sure, but I suspect it is at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center. We are on Polaris next year and disembark in Duluth. In trying to figure this out, I did some poking around with Google and ran across an article discussing upgrades to the facility to accommodate the anticipated new cruise ship traffic.

Your question got me curious enough to check again. I found a video of Vikings first arrival earlier this year along with a newspaper article. It indicated that it held station and used tenders. Checked my invoice and sure enough. Duluth is a tender port (see below indicated by anchor at far right)

It is a tender port. The tender takes you to the start of a little town area you can walk around. There is a lovely boardwalk that takes you along the lake then up to a rose garden.

Thanks for your answers…..I was afraid it was a Tender Port….not my favorite way for Embarkation……but, as usual, we will manage just fine.
