Architecture lovers with a passion for the open water can now set sail on a one-of-a-kind Frank Lloyd Wright-themed cruise through North America’s Great Lakes. Victory Cruise Lines has partnered with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation’s Taliesin Institute to offer an educational tour of the architect’s works in Chicago, Detroit, and Muskegon.

The program will be featured as part of Victory Cruise Line’s 2025 sailings, which mainly focus on 10-day cruises around the Great Lakes and along Canada’s east coast. The journeys will set sail aboard Victory I and Victory II, the company’s two recently relaunched 190-passenger ships that were originally built 30 years ago.

Guests will set off from Chicago’s Navy Pier and end the tour in Toronto, making stops along the way to check out some famous Frank Lloyd Wright locations. If you join the journey, you can explore Unity Temple in Chicago, his home and studio in Oak Park, plus the Smith House in Detroit and the Meyer May House in Grand Rapids. In Chicago, you can also visit the Robie House, a key example of Wright’s Prairie style, and The Rookery Building, an 1888 office tower with a lobby redesigned by Wright in 1905.

The Taliesin Institute will also offer onboard lectures, giving those aboard a chance to dive deeper into the life and legacy of the iconic American architect. “Frank Lloyd Wright left a beautiful legacy of architectural marvels across the Great Lakes including two sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List and our guests will appreciate exploring his vision through his designs and learning so much along the way,” says John Waggoner, chairman and founder of Victory Cruise Lines. “We know learning is a priority of Victory Cruise Lines guests and this partnership with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation offers opportunities to participate in onboard enrichment programs created and presented by Taliesin Institute.”

Salt Spring Island Residence 2

This project was commissioned by a couple living in Vancouver who fell in love with Salt Spring Island (as many do) and decided to build their dream home on a beautiful high-bank waterfront lot overlooking views of Sansum Narrows and Vancouver Island beyond. The clients had an affinity for mid-century modern design and requested that the house be reminiscent of that style. As one ascends the driveway an accessory building presents itself containing a garage and studio. A path leads from the accessory building to the house which is nestled into a rocky hill and surrounded by several large arbutus trees. The house is a U shape plan framing a courtyard overlooking the ocean. Living spaces are arranged at the centre or bottom of the U with 2 sleeping wings on either side projecting toward the ocean. Both the house and accessory building are clad in black vertical wood siding and protected by flat roofs with generous overhangs. Large sliding glass doors provide seamless transitions from inside to outside and maximize the natural light. Walnut flooring and cabinetry are featured throughout the home to provide a richness and warmth. This home is a tranquil setting to light a fire, have some wine, and watch the eagles soar in front of a backdrop of pacific north-west magic.

Immerso Glamping Cabin

Known as “Immerso Glamping”, this alpine cabin, designed by Italian architects Fabio Vignolo and Francesca Turnaturi, is true to its name: it allows guests to go off the grid and reconnect with nature in an inventive way. While the prefabricated shelter is designed to be easily moveable, Immerso Glamping is currently located in the alpine village of Usseaux in Italy’s Piedmont region.
