About Victory Cruise Lines

Victory Experience

Victory has two boutique river ships and one ocean-going cruise ship that offer itineraries of 7 to 15 days. Included shore excursions and optional premium experiences in each port bring adventure and a true sense of place. Modern metropolitan wonders and historic cultural sites deliver deeper meaning. Informed local guides share their insights along the way. Each voyage includes a complimentary pre-cruise hotel stay.

The Great Lakes & Canada

The Victory Cruise Lines itineraries bring you to stunning ports of call along the Great Lakes of the United States in Canada. Their destination-centric itineraries include stops at destinations like: Mackinac Island where only pedestrians, bicycles, and horse drawn carriages occupy the streets; Lake Superior's Thunder Bay with its rugged wilderness; Detroit, lovingly known as "Motor City" and home to the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation; the French-Canadian fairytale town of Quebec City; the Ontario side of the iconic Niagara Falls; and many more!

Cuisine

The Coastal Dining Room offers regionally-inspired breakfast, lunch, and dinner with casual elegance. Fresh and delicious fare can be enjoyed at The Grill, which transforms into the Tuscan Stone Grill for dinner. At the Tuscan Stone Grill, guests can enjoy "hot rock" cooking on 100% pure volcanic lava rock right at their table.

Other delights include The Tavern where you can kick back and relax with friends while sharing stores over a pint in this cozy, English-style pub.

Onboard Entertainment

Whether looking for a music & dancing filled night or a soothing and relaxing morning, Victory has everything right on board.

The Compass Lounge is home to enriching presentations given by special guests and "Lakelorians", the experts on local customes, cultures, and wildlife of the region. Here in the Lounge you will also find a grand piano that begs for old fashioned sing-alongs and dancing.

Head up top to soak in the rays on Victory's sun deck. It is the perfect spot to take in the lakes' unbelievable sunsets, as well as get a sneak peek at your next destination.

The salon and spa is the perfect place to decompress after a busy day of exploring the port of call, or to simply luxuriate in beneath the hands of an expert massage therapist while the waves roll by.

Accommodations

The perfect oasis awaits in your Victory Suite. Enjoy verandas, queen beds, full bathrooms, and plush seating areas. Each room also includes a flat-screen TV.

All-Inclusive

When Victory Cruise Lines says All-Inclusive, they mean it. A pre-cruise hotel is included in every itinerary as well as an excursion in every port, food & beverage, and exemplary service.

Our Recommendation

Cruising the Great Lakes is a unique and wonderous experience. As the resident cruise line of the lakes and the only company to sail to all five of the lakes, Victory Cruise Lines is an excellent choice for you next small ship cruise adventure.
