May 23, 2014 • Milwaukee County Post • 3 Express: High-speed ferry around 10 years 2008, accommodates 250 passengers, and holds up to 46 vehicles and 12 motorcycles. To ring in its season, which began May 1, Lake Express is offering guests with motorcycles a deal that provides free one- way and round-trip motorcycle tickets with a paid passenger fare through May 31, in addition to free roundtrip tickets in June. The motorcycles ride free deal will also return in the fall from Sept. 2 through Nov. 2. There are also opportunities for par- ents to save big on family trips, said Aaron Schultz, the Lake Express director of sales and marketing. Kids ride free, which offers free tickets for children under 17 on family round- trips, starts July 1 and runs through Sept. 1. Adults haven't been forgotten either, Schultz said. They can take advantage of special summer saver rates, which apply to the 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. crossings between July 1 and Sept. 1. A summer saver one- way trip is $54.50 and round trip is $88. For adults, the normal price for a one- way ticket in the classic cabin costs $84.50, while a roundtrip ticket costs $139. A spot in the premier cabin, which includes stew- ard service and free alcoholic beverages, will cost an adult $97 for a one-way ticket, and $169 for a roun-trip. Senior discounts are also provided. To purchase tickets, visit www.lake-express.com. Passengers can travel with or without their vehicles, with the average vehicle costing $89 one way and $169 for round- trip travel. To help save customers money, Schultz said Lake Express recommends that people consider rental cars at their destination. "It's cheaper than bringing your own car," he said. "You can find rentals start- ing at $35 a day, which is great if you're just going for a couple of days." Whether it's for business or pleasure, the Lake Express is the way to travel, Schultz said. The ferry can cross Lake Michigan in 2 hours, 30 minutes, making it a quick and relaxing trip. It's also a great way to avoid traffic, particularly a Chicago rush hour, he said. Through the end of June, the high- speed ferry provides four daily trips and offers six daily trips from July through August. Service also continues in September and October with four daily trips. If you're looking for a great place for a summer vacation, Michigan is it, Schultz said. "For people who have never been to Michigan, it really is a unique place. It has a coastal vibe, similar to Cape Cod and Door County," Schultz said. "There are beaches, war m water, lighthouses and shopping. It's a relaxed vibe and a great place to go and take a break. "It feels like you're in a different part of the country," he said. continued from Page 1 ONLY AT May 21 to May 27 2201 E.
