Great tour! Boat Captain was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Gorgeous views and great photo opportunities. While on the tour we discovered beaches that we went to the next day. Bring a blanket though. We did an afternoon tour in August and it was chilly!

While the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is DEFINITEY worthy of visiting, the cruise we took today with this firm was just plain awful. Our first warning sign was that we noticed that none of the people from the preceding trip were smiling when they got off the boat. That should have tipped us off. This is definitely NOT a trip for little kids - or even teenagers unless they are geology or nature geeks. The main issue was that the captain and crew lost control of the trip from the very start. The captain made one announcement about how people should not stand to take photos, because that blocked the view of other passengers. He said that if you wanted to stand, to go outside on the stern of the boat. The reason is that people on the other side of the boat would have their view blocked by those standing at the windows or in the aisle. Within just a few minutes of departure, people disobeyed this rule, and the captain did nothing about it. We had our view blocked much of the way out because of people violating this rule. Also, it was very hot today - the hottest day of this summer. One of the crewmen sat in the main window at the front of the boat, blocking about 1/2 of the ventilation from that window for about 1/2 of the trip. I'm sure he was cooler than the rest of us. The captain asked that little children not be allowed to run around the aisles - a rule which of course both they and their parents ignored. I can't tell you how glad we were to exit this cruise. One of our big concerns was that if there was an emergency, the captain had not established himself as an authority - so that people would not obey him in case there really was a problem. 1) Do not take small children - or even teenagers on this cruise. They'll hate it. 2) Sit on the right side of the boat. The trip out is vastly different than the return trip, despite what the captain promised. You'll be disappointed. 3) If it's a hot day, bring an umbrella for the excessive wait in the line to board the ship.

We took the Spray Falls cruise at 10 a.m. The cruise was wonderful, the scenery was gorgeous and fascinating, and the captain's narration was entertaining and informative. However, we weren't allowed to stand up even for a second to snap a photo while the boat was moving, and we only stopped twice to allow passengers to take photos. Since most people - including us! - are going to want to take photos on a tour of Pictured Rocks, this was a significant drawback. (The photos that we did manage to take while seated were all partially blocked by the railings and heads of other passengers.) What's truly ironic is that the advertising blurb for this particular cruise literally says, "You won't get wet, but you will get great photos!" Um, no - you absolutely will not. Hopefully, the owners of this cruise line will either revise this misleading advertising, or consider incorporating more photo op stops into future tours. Another annoying detail is the crewman who planted himself with his arms crossed in the seat facing the passengers so he could police the people that dared to stand up for a second to sneak a quick photo. His presence definitely put a damper on what was otherwise a very enjoyable trip.

Pictured Rocks Cruises was a great excursion during our visit to the U.P. The staff was friendly and the boat was clean. The top two decks were pretty packed by the time we made it to the boat, so we sat on the lower deck. Great views and ample seating. We loved our tour and the Captain's commentary. The rocks themselves were gorgeous and a must see! I would certainly take the tour again. My one recommendation is to get there at LEAST thirty minutes before your departure time, as the parking lot was packed solid. If a single car hadn't left we would have been parking way down the street, walking to the dock and would have missed our boat. However we got there about 7 minutes prior to departure, so that's on us. There is also a gift shop with a lot of nice things. Some was typical touristy stuff, but a lot was really nice quality and gift worthy. We definitely recommend Pictured Rocks Cruises.

Well the national park website stated military discount however when arrived to buy our tickets we were told there was not one. You better line up 45 to 60 mins before cause if you want a good seat for photos. It's only 2hrs and we did the Spray Falls tour. It was nice that the boat does a u-turn so if sit on right or left side you'll get good photos if sitting at railing or top of the boat. Bring a small lunch or snack or $1s to buy drinks aboard. Captain was nice and knew his stuff and grew up in the town.

I completely, wholeheartedly advise anyone and everyone to take this Cruise. It was magnificent to see the pictured rocks from the water. Only a handful of people and myself were on the top deck because it was 50° out and quite cold. But I was prepared so I stuck it out the whole 2 hour trip. Isaac who was the captain and the tour guide, was awesome. He had the silliest dad jokes, and I half expected to see a man in his 40s or 50s when I came down the stairs because of those jokes, and he was a young buck in his twenties, who gave a great and entertaining, as well as very informative, guided tour of the pictured rocks. Their souvenir shop has decently priced gifts for all ages and all shapes and sizes.

You should really add a requirements that parties together should sit in the same row especially allowing families with small children to sit together. These older women apparently didn't care. Be prepared to get there early if you have a larger party and want to sit together.

Wonderful views ...it's a fun experience while in the area. Also recommend trying the fish sausage from captain Ron's or ricks ... can't remember but it was good.

Highly recommend the Sunset Cruise! It's such a beautiful experience and even more breath taking when the sun is setting. We arrived ~45 minutes before and there was QUITE the line, so if you're set on a certain seat, you best arrive a hr+ early! You line up in the back of building near the dock - no need to go inside like I tried to at first. We didn't have trouble at all though getting a good view though. We sat at the lower deck & moved to the open back area once we were given OK to "move about the cabin". Also, since the boat travels to & fro the same way, you'll get a great view no matter which side you choose! It was particularly gorgeous on the way back as it was peak sunset -- so if I were to do it again, I'd just start sitting on the right side (the views are OK going there but BREATHTAKING heading back). FYI - There are bathrooms on board! If you use the Mackinac Ferry tix as a guideline, the Pictured Rocks Cruises are a STEAL and a great value.

Spectacular trip! But here's what you need to know before you go.... The tickets info says boarding is 15 mins before trip and that people line up starting an hour before the trip. We got there about an hour before our trip and there were about 40 people in line already. We still got good seats, but if you really want top level seats, you better get there early. I would choose the top level, right side as close to the front as possible for best viewing. (They do spin the boat so both sides get to see attractions) Don't be fooled by calm waters in Munising Bay, once you get past the protective island, Lake Superior can get pretty rough and choppy. If fact, we received an email the night before warning us of a possibility of rough waters and were given the opportunity to reschedule or cancel if we wanted. (Glad we didn't, because the winds died down before our ship took off). The wind did pick up as the sun went down however and it did get a little funky... and a big wave actually splashed the people on the right side of the boat all the way up on the third deck! If you want to take pictures, you are going to want to be as far up front and to the outside as possible. Otherwise you will have a lot of arms holding phones in your frames! It is really hard to stand to take a picture because of the rocking of the boat. Dress warm... even on a nice day! You can always take a jacket off, but it is a 2 hour trip, and it is much cooler out on the lake. There were a number of tough guys in tee shirts on my trip that were freezing by the time we docked. The name of the trip,we took was called the Sunset Spray Falls Cruse. This is a great trip and I highly recommend seeing this national park from the lake and it's really cool to watch the sunset from the lake. Just amazing what nature can do or has done over thousands of years. Well worth the $48.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

Live updates, google ‘taking swift action’ to remove bizarre ai search results — like telling users to eat rocks.

Google is scrambling to remove a wave of incorrect or even dangerous answers from its controversial AI-powered search results — including one answer that advised users to eat rocks for nutrition.

The embattled Big Tech giant has faced a major backlash for spreading misinformation since the tool, dubbed AI Overviews, was rolled out in the US this month.

Google has said the software will reach more than one billion users by the end of the year.

In one widely circulated example, AI Overviews allegedly responded to the query, “how many rocks should a child eat?” by falsely claiming UC Berkeley geologists recommend “eating at least one small rock per day.”

The answer appeared to originate from a satirical post by The Onion .

Google said it is “taking swift action where appropriate under our content policies, and using these examples to develop broader improvements to our systems, some of which have already started to roll out.”

“The vast majority of AI Overviews provide high quality information, with links to dig deeper on the web,” the Google spokesperson said in a statement.  “Many of the examples we’ve seen have been uncommon queries, and we’ve also seen examples that were doctored or that we couldn’t reproduce.”

Google said many instances of strange responses were examples of so-called data voids, where there was a lack of high-quality information available online for the particular query.

The company said it makes thousands of improvements to search each year.

As The Post reported, the chatbot, which critics say could devastate news publishers, has generated bizarre responses such as telling users to add glue to pizza sauce and claiming that tobacco has health benefits for kids.

“Mixing cheese into the sauce helps add moisture to the cheese and dry out the sauce,”  Google’s AI Overview said . “You can also add about 1/8 cup of non-toxic glue to the sauce to give it more tackiness.”

The glue recommendation appeared to have been pulled from an 11-year-old Reddit post on how to keep cheese from sliding off pizza.

AI experts have warned of major risks associated with the rapidly growing technology – from spreading misinformation through false claims known as “hallucinations” to potentially threatening humanity’s existence altogether.

“Google Search is Google’s flagship product and cash cow,” said Gergely Orosz, author of the Pragmatic Engineer newsletter. “It’s the one property Google needs to keep relevant/trustworthy/useful. And yet, examples on how AI overviews are turning Google search into garbage are all over my timeline.”

In one case, AI Overviews claimed that former US President Andrew Johnson, who died in 1875, had obtained 14 degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison , including one as recently as 2012.

Johnson never attended the school.

Google’s AI-powered results also responded to the query “How many muslim presidents has the US had?” by falsely claiming it has “had one Muslim president, Barack Hussein Obama.”

Tech journalist Brian Merchant posted a screenshot in which Google’s own AI search results claimed that the company has violated antitrust law , citing the Justice Department’s pending lawsuits.

A previous iteration of Google’s AI chatbot, Bard, made the same claim last November .

The Post could not immediately verify the authenticity of every screenshot.

“The fact that it’s so hard to tell which AI Overviews are real or not (yes, I understand Google can check but the general public cannot) — is a massive misinformation risk in and of itself,” said Lily Ray, an online search expert who has tracked several examples of actual or doctored answers from AI Overviews on her X account .

A retro look at cruises through the decades

Posted: 29 November 2023 | Last updated: 29 November 2023

Sailing through time

1830s: the very beginnings

1840s: the first pleasure cruises

1840s: a landmark in cruise-line history

1850–60s: early developments

Passenger cruising continued to develop through the mid-19th century, with luxuries like on-board lounges and simple entertainment emerging. Shown here, in 1856, is Cunard's RMS Persia, one of the largest ships of her time and an early Blue Riband winner (an award given for high-speed Atlantic crossings).

1870s: the New World

1880s: lighting up the ocean

1890s: “floating palaces”

1900s: entering cruising’s golden age

At the turn of the century, there was still a frisson around cruising and large, buzzy crowds would often gather to see off the ships. This nostalgic photograph was snapped between 1900 and 1915, and shows large steam boats leaving from the White Star Line dock in Detroit, Michigan. Well-dressed passengers fill the ships' upper and lower decks too.

1900s: the first purpose-built cruise ship

1910s: onboard entertainment

1910s: the Titanic disaster

One of the most famous and devastating events in cruise history occurred in this decade. Dubbed "unsinkable" by the White Star Line's vice-president, the Titanic set out from Southampton on her maiden voyage on 10 April 1912 to much applause. But just four days later, she collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic: the compartments in her hull filled with water and she tragically sank. The disaster claimed the lives of more than 1,500 people.

1910s: First World War

1920s: cruising’s golden age continued

1920s: setting the bar high

1920s: a festive feast

1920s: the first round-the-world cruise

Another major milestone came in the 1920s: the very first round-the-world cruise. The Cunard Line's RMS Laconia (pictured here leaving Liverpool circa 1920) sailed around the globe in 1922, calling at 22 ports along the way, and taking 450 lucky passengers with her.

1930s: all games on deck

1930s: making a splash

1940s: post-war cruising

1950s: the post-war decades

Come the 1950s, cruise ships had another phenomenon to compete with: jet planes. Commercial air travel boomed in this decade, with comfier aircraft and improved routes enticing travelers into the skies. Many cruise liners underwent swish post-war refits in an attempt to stay afloat: this 1950s photo shows the opulent dining room of French liner SS Île de France after a dramatic post-war makeover.

1950s: going Down Under

1950s: the Blue Riband record breaker

Though formalized in the 1930s, the Blue Riband – the award for the passenger cruise liner with the fastest Atlantic-crossing time – has its roots right back in the 19th century. The record is still held by SS United States of United States Lines, which first sped across the Atlantic in 1952. She's pictured here on 9 July 1952, docking in Southampton.

1960s: the Jet Age

1970s: The Love Boat

As flying became more commonplace, the popularity of cruising looked set to dwindle. However, one particular TV series is often credited with keeping travelers' passion for cruising alive. The Love Boat – aired from the 1970s – was a comedy series that followed the crew and passengers of luxury liner SS Pacific Princess. Such was its popularity, some say it brought cruising back into the mainstream once more. This shot shows Cunard Line's Queen Elizabeth 2 in 1975. 

1970s: cruising opens up to the masses

1980s: the cruise to nowhere

The 1980s is thought to be the decade that pioneered the "cruise to nowhere", where the ship really was the destination. The SS Norway (pictured) – a lavish mega ship with room for thousands of passengers and amenities like a casino – embarked on a no-docking cruise in this decade.

1990s: Disney takes to the water

2000s: making waves in the modern world

The 2000s saw larger-than-life, no-expense-spared, mega cruise ships sail onto the scene. This sunset snap shows Cunard Line's Queen Mary II as she completes her first trans-Atlantic voyage in January 2004. At this time, she was the largest and most expensive cruise ship ever constructed with room for 2,200-plus passengers, a theater and even a planetarium, setting the bar for the ships of posterity. 

2010s: bigger, better and healthier

2020s: off to a rocky start

The 2020s got off to an eventful start. The COVID-19 pandemic halted almost all cruises, with some passengers and crew marooned onboard while testing and entry protocols were debated. In 2021 rife cancellations, last-minute border changes and variant outbreaks persisted. However, 2022 has indicated a return to pre-pandemic popularity, with 300 cruise ships departing in April – pretty impressive compared to just 22 departing in April 2021. Cruise lines have incorporated more health and safety protocols, such as advising passengers to control their TV, light and temperature via an app instead of touchpoints.

10 tips for visiting pictured rocks, 1. plan your route.

Chasing waterfalls? Looking to explore historical sites? Backpacking through the park? However you choose to explore your park, start here! If you are driving through the park, download self-guided tours on the NPS App. Research Things to Do and Places to Go on the NPS website.

If you’re planning on backpacking through the park, learn about shuttle services .

2. Find the Right Tour for You

The best way to see the Pictured Rocks cliffs is from the water with an experienced guide! Check out authorized commercial tours in the park, including boat cruises and kayak tours .

There are also guided photography workshops and guided backpacking within the park. If you’re visiting in winter, check out opportunities for guided ice climbing .

3. Be Prepared for Bugs

Stable flies, deer flies, mosquitos, and other biting insects abound at Pictured Rocks in the summer! Many of these insects are not deterred by bug sprays. To not let biting insects ruin your trip, we suggest packing long pants, socks that cover your ankles, and even an over-the-head bug net. And as always, remember to do a tick check after being outdoors! Learn more about biting insects at Pictured Rocks.

4. Know Where Your Pet Can Go

Leashed pets are welcome in several areas of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, including Sand Point Beach; Miners Castle, Miners Falls, and Miners Beach; the Au Sable Light Station grounds; and Munising Falls. Some areas – such as the Chapel/Mosquito loop - are closed to pets due to terrain and sensitive habitats. Learn more about pets at Pictured Rocks.

When visiting the park with your pet, be sure to keep them on a leash (6 feet maximum), dispose of their waste properly, and keep them a safe distance from wildlife.

5. Know Your Limits on the Water

Paddling on Lake Superior is extremely different from paddling on small, inland lakes and rivers. Lake Superior behaves far more like a sea than an inland lake or pond, and only experienced sea kayakers should attempt to paddle on the open lake . Waves and wind can be very powerful on the lake - you cannot get out of Lake Superior along the cliffs if bad weather strikes.

Recreational kayaks (less than 14’) and canoes are not equipped to go out on Lake Superior. Sea kayaks (typically 14.5’-18’ long, with a small cockpit) are the only kayaks equipped for paddling on Lake Superior and should only be operated by experienced sea kayakers.

While paddling, you must have a personal floatation device (PFD) and a sound-producing device , such as a whistle or air horn. It is also recommended to wear a wet or dry suit; have a spray skirt, paddle float, bilge pump, paddle leash, and marine radio. You should also be able to perform a self-rescue on a sea kayak, as emergency response can be delayed due to bad weather and remote locations. Always check the marine forecast before heading onto the lake. Being ill-equipped and unprepared can truly make the difference between life and death on the lake.

If you’re looking to paddle in the park with your recreational kayak, consider paddling one of the park’s smaller inland lakes, such as Little Beaver, Beaver, and Grand Sable Lake. Though these lakes are smaller, it is still important to have a PFD, a sound-producing device, and check the weather before heading out.

Go with a Guide - A guided sea kayak tour may be a great option for you if you are looking for a kayaking experience along the Pictured Rocks cliffs!

Learn more about paddling at Pictured Rocks.

6. Make Your Reservations

All camping in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is reservation-only. Reserve your spot in any of the 3 drive-in campgrounds or in the backcountry on recreation.gov ! If you are planning on camping in an RV in a drive-in campground, check size restrictions before booking. The Little Beaver Campground does not allow pets due to its proximity to the Beaver Basin Wilderness .

7. Pack Your Patience

The park’s most popular trails, such as the Chapel-Mosquito loop, can get very crowded during the summer months. Plan to arrive early, consider carpooling with friends, or try a different trail! There are no bad trails in the park – try hiking a different section of the North Country Trail or one of the park’s interior trails .

8. Stop by a Visitor Center

Grab your pass, a map, and information at the park’s two visitor centers – located on either side of the park. Rangers are available to help you 9am-5pm daily at the Munising Falls Visitor Center and Grand Sable Visitor Center beginning June 1.

9. Don’t Rely on your Cell Phone!

Cell service in many parts of the park can be spotty, don’t rely on it! Download maps and check weather conditions ahead of time – better yet, pick up a paper map from the visitor center! Tell others where you are going and when you plan to be back.

Don’t rely on your phone’s flashlight if you get caught in a sticky situation! This will quickly drain your phone’s battery. Bring a flashlight with you in your emergency kit!

10. Leave No Trace

We all want to keep Pictured Rocks beautiful and safe for generations to come! Refresh yourself on Leave No Trace principles before coming to the park.

To help keep Pictured Rocks’ wildlife wild, store all food (and anything else with a scent!) properly, in park-provided bear boxes or in a hard-sided vehicle. Never feed wildlife, as this will train them to come to humans for food.

Dispose of your waste properly. There are many park-provided trash receptacles throughout the park, please dispose of all your trash in these receptacles! Yes, this includes apple cores, banana peels, and orange peels – though these items will eventually decompose, they are not natural parts of the environment, and they are unsightly for other visitors! Nobody wants to see your food scraps.

In terms of human waste, please deposit this in park-provided toilet facilities. Portable, tent-style personal toilets are NOT permitted in the park, as they are a safety concern for our custodial staff. If park toilets are unavailable, do your “business” at least 70 steps away from trails, campsites, and water sources. If you are depositing solid waste, do so in a hole that is at least 6 inches deep. Bury when done. If you have brought toilet paper, pack it out with you.

Ewan McGregor, 53, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, 39, get candid about reuniting on screen - seven years after THAT alleged affair scandal

  Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead got candid with Variety about their on screen reunion seven years after their alleged affair scandal which rocked both of their marriages.

The 53-year-old Obi-Wan star and 39-year-old Scott Pilgrim Vs The World actress put on a sweet display as they were featured on the cover of the latest edition of the American weekly. 

In the accompanying article the two talked about their l atest critically-acclaimed project - titled A Gentleman In Moscow - and how parenthood has not only changed their careers but also themselves as people.

The two can soon be seen on the  Paramount+ on Showtime series based on Amor Towles' 2016 novel as they revealed that it was McGregor's idea for them to work together on screen again.

Winstead said: 'Ewan was reading the novel and he started slyly mentioning to me, in very subtle ways, that there was a great female character in the book.

In the accompanying article the two talked about their l atest critically-acclaimed project - titled A Gentleman In Moscow - and how parenthood has not only changed their careers but also themselves as people; they are pictured with co-star Alexa Goodall

'He was definitely hinting to me that it could be a good opportunity for us to work together.'

Ewan portrayed Count Alexander Rostov while Mary starred as his onscreen wife Mary Urbanova.

The series will mark the third on-screen collaboration between Mary and her husband, following 2017's Fargo and 2020's Birds of Prey.

The two originally met on set of the FX series in 2016 and though the two have since married in 2022 and share a two-year-old son named Laurie together, their public relationship began under very controversial circumstances. 

Ewan was married to Eva Mavrakis for 22 years until their split in May 2017 - they shares daughters Clara, Jamyan, Esther and Anouk.

The actor met Mary when they were both working on Fargo in late 2016 when Ewan was still married to Eva and Mary was still with her ex-husband Riley Stearns.

They were pictured kissing London café in October 2017 and later announced he had been separated Eva since May.

In the ensuing couple of years, Clara infamously denounced Mary as 'a piece of trash' and fumed that her father was an 'a**hole.'

Clara later expressed regret over her unfiltered remarks about Mary, and the blended family has evidently arrived at a rapprochement.

In December, 28-year-old Clara shared a gallery of snaps from Christmas which featured mom Eve, dad Ewan, and stepmom Mary Elizabeth. 

As his character in A Gentleman In Moscow becomes a caretaker for a young girl, Ewan told Variety about how parenthood not only shaped the way he approached this role but also how it changed his life completely.

He said: 'I have five children and one of my daughters is adopted. I realized while we were shooting, like, "Oh, this is an adoption story." I like that part of it because I love that part of my life.

'I think it’s true that we are two different people before we have children and after we have children — you don’t have this responsibility to another human life, you don’t ever experience it until somebody calls you Dad.'

Winstead also got candid about juggling motherhood and long days on set as she explained: 'Everything’s so frantic having a baby at home.

'When you’re off set, you’re just a parent. You don’t really have time to think about how you feel about the character right now. You’re just thrown into bath [time] and dinner. 

'I don’t analyze things nearly as much as I did. You don’t have the time to sit and overanalyze and stew and worry and all of those things. You just have to show up and kick yourself into gear.'

 A Gentleman In Moscow can be streamed on Paramount+.
