The city of Milwaukee has broken ground on the new South Shore Cruise Dock at Port Milwaukee. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on September 4.

The South Shore Cruise Dock will be Milwaukee’s third designated cruise dock and will serve as the future port-of-call for Seawaymax vessels.

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson included $5 million for the development of the dock in his 2025 budget. The state of Wisconsin provided a $3.5 million Capital Tourism Grant and $500,000 Harbor Assistance Program grant from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
