The Badger’s Main Lounge

This is a view of what the Main Lounge on the SS Badger looked like shortly after it started service in March 1953. For those familiar with the ship, this photo was taken near what is now the cruise director’s office located on the starboard side. Through the years the lounge area was modified to accommodate a change in passenger service. Some exciting new food and beverage services are planned for the 2025. More to come!

The 2025 sailing season begins Friday, May 16. To reserve tickets visit ssbadger.com or call 800-841-4243 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (ET).
