Experience Intimate COASTAL CRUISES.
Destinations are closer than they appear.
At Victory Cruise Lines, we are committed to delighting travelers with the singular joys of small ship cruising on the North American and Canadian coasts.
Our coastal cruises on all five Great Lakes and the French Canadian Maritimes offer a refreshing alternative to your usual river and ocean cruises. Both the Victory I and Victory II are elegant small ships, designed specifically to cruise along magnificent coastlines, journey through seaways and inland lakes, and navigate hidden harbors to access more remote ports of call. That's just the beginning of the unique advantages of coastal cruising with us!
Welcome to the world of Victory Cruise Lines!

Victory Cruise Lines looks forward to returning to Green Bay later this year. I enjoyed sharing with the Green Bay Press-Gazette's Jeff Bollier what makes this port a must for our guests - and it isn't just that stadium the Green Bay Packers call home! We are counting the days until we arrive at Leicht Park and appreciate thes support of Brad Toll, Nick Meisner and Discover Green Bay.
There’s something magical about sharing what you love on Valentine’s Day. And this year, Victory Cruise Lines’ Founder and Chairman John Waggoner extolls the virtues of one of his great loves – the Great Lakes. Take a moment to listen to his personal message about why these magnificent waters have captured his heart… and why they’ll soon enchant yours! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/effaJ-Xc

Book one of three cruises in May 2025 and win my 1965 cherry-red Ford Mustang - Claudette, why did you let them talk me into this! Or one of two new Harley-Davidson Sportster S models. I have long been enamored with American engineering and vehicle craftsmanship, and the Great Lakes are an important part of where our automotive industry began and continues to this day. Victory Cruise Lines' 2025 American Wheels Giveaway creates excitement around these upcoming sailings while paying homage to the iconic brands – Milwaukee’s House of Harley-Davidson and Detroit’s Ford Motor Company – and we look forward to calling on these cities throughout the season.

Pride in family hallmarks Victory Cruise Line’s choice of godmothers for Victory I and Victory II, as the all-inclusive, small ship cruise line prepares to launch coastal cruising on the Great Lakes and Canadian Coasts. Reflecting their love of family - as well as passion for cruising - Chairman John Waggoner and wife Claudette’s daughter Emily Coleman will be the godmother of Victory I, and Victory II godmother will be their oldest granddaughter, Molly Applegate.
