Victory Cruise Lines has unveiled itineraries for its 2026 season. Comprising 40 voyages that include several new ports and itineraries, the all-inclusive, small ship cruise line is set to take a deeper dive into the Great Lakes during the second season. Out of the season’s 40 itineraries, 34 will visit all five Great Lakes.
Highlights of the 2026 season include returning favorites such as:
- Chicago to Toronto and reverse beginning in April through September
- Two round-trip cruises from Chicago exploring Lake Superior with stops in the lesser-visited ports of Thunder Bay, Duluth, Houghton and Marquette
- Three 11-night cruises from Chicago to Montreal

New itineraries will take guests from Portland to Quebec City and reverse; Quebec City to Chicago and reverse; and Toronto to Milwaukee and reverse, while new ports and other highlights include Milwaukee, Pictured Rocks, Sturgeon Bay, Whitefish Bay, Trois-Rivières, Gaspé, Baie-Comeau and Saguenay.
Each voyage includes a one-night pre-cruise hotel stay with breakfast, complimentary ground transfers, outside view accommodations (some with open verandas) and an included shore excursion in every port. Guests can look forward to acclaimed cuisine in multiple venues, specialty restaurants like the Tuscan Stone Grill, unlimited beverages, open bars and lounges, unlimited Wi-Fi, live onboard entertainment, enrichment programs with LakeLorians and more. Additionally, each cruise offers hiking sticks to enhance the guest experience.
The line’s inaugural season kicks off on April 17, 2025, as Victory I cruises from Portland to Toronto and it will be christened in Toronto on April 27. Victory II will follow sister ship into service on May 2, 2025, from Toronto and be christened at Navy Pier in Chicago on May 12.
