Meet the small ship with big character.

V Is For Victory

When it comes to small ship luxury cruising, there’s a new cruise line and ship for adventurers to consider: Victory Cruise Lines’ Victory I.

Launched in July 2016, Victory Cruise Lines connects passengers with grace, style, and luxury to fascinating cultures along untapped itineraries. Embark on memorable seasonal voyages throughout the Great Lakes and French Canada & New England during the summer months and out of Miami to Cuba in the winter. But no matter the route, life aboard Victory I is relaxing with a slower pace than most cruise ships.

ON BOARD AMBIENCE _ Built in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1999 as Cape May Light, and having several other names over the years including Sea Voyager and Saint Laurent, the 300-foot long, 210-passenger Victory I was designed for coastal cruising. With 90 crew members, Victory I coddles her passengers with superb service and style that is often found on luxury ships. The entire crew, from the captain to the waiters, are seasoned professionals, and many came from working on the bigger cruise ships.

The majority of the 105 staterooms are on Decks 3 and 4; staterooms on Deck 4 open to an outside deck area. The average stateroom size is around 160 square feet, but don’t let that smaller size distract you from the fact that the beds and linens are extraordinarily comfortable with premium mattresses, 100 percent Egyptian cotton bedding, deluxe duvets, and a choice of pillow options. Other stateroom amenities include personal robes and slippers, high-end bath amenities that are environmentally sensitive, and LCD flat-screen TVs with satellite.
