Victory Cruise Lines Reviews 

Our 9 day cruise was luxurious on Victory 1! Crew was amazing with their attention to detail and outstanding service. The chef created fresh delicious menus that were unique and creative with a beautiful presentation. The staff serving us in the dining rooms were equally outstanding in their service and attentiveness. Jack and Menino quickly became our favorites and we looked forward to seeing them ever day. Our Cruise Director, Nicole was wonderful with her daily announcements, sense of humor and approachability. Plus, she and her husband Sean and percussionist Jeremy were the nightly live music entertainment! We would definitely book another cruise where she was the Director. Our room stewart Sid was very attentive to our preferences and provided outstanding service.
Our Captain was extremely personable and available for guests to interact with. The shore excursions were well planned with excellent local tour guides. Our Lakelorian, Michael was delightful and humorous with his informative talks and presentations on the Great Lakes history, including locks, ports and industrial facts. He was very social and interacted delightfully with guests. Every detail of our experience was thoughtfully planned out by Victory!

Awesome cruise with a great crew, fabulous food and fantastic entertainment! We loved it and hope to cruise Victory again in the near future!!!!

Staff and service

The ship was the perfect size. The food was amazing and the crew was very friendly and polite.

My first cruise. All staff super friendly. Great food. Any request was done quickly.

The staff was excellent, across the board. Not one person was less than terrific. Some of the shore excursions were over priced but all in really great. We had a wonderful time!

The service was just outstanding. Every single crew member could not have been nicer.

The food was excellent. The whole crew was very friendly and helpful.

Excellent Adventure ✨
Thank You….
Your crew, staff, and
attention to all passengers made for a memorable sailing.
Continue Success as Victory sails the
Great Lakes 💫

This was my first cruise. I didn't want to be on a ship with 5000 strangers. I liked the size of the Victory I. The ship had nice accommodations and the crew provided excellent service. The food was fantastic. My biggest worry was overindulging. The ports of call and available tours were interesting. I even learned about things and places in my own home state that I had never known before.

The crew was so friendly and helpful. Food was amazing. Entertainment was great. Met great people on board.

Great food. Excellent staff, overall.

Rooms are too small, bathroom and shower are way too small.
Food is only OK, not great.
Staff is very nice and attentive.

Too much fun and many memories....

Lost luggage in Dallas. It finally made it to Port Colborne. Everyone was so helpful like trip greetors, Westen staff, Lori on ship and more.
Almost didn't go to Niagara but when I knew luggage on way, I went. Too wet, too crowded (like tour boat held 700 passengers), not enough time for zip line (probably 200 in line) and so much mist couldn't see anything. Suggest Niagara Falls on a weekday
Bus Drivers GREAT! Patrick and Rex. Appreciate the same drivers whole trip. Driver for detour to Chicago (because of weather) horrible! Bad driver and didn't speak English well.
Agnelo my steward. Exceptional!
Max dining room Excellent- I was playful at dinner and he was always accommodating. 🙂
Grill dining, not the best. Bread and other choices not the freshest.
Tour instructions for Mackinac not clear. Missed carriage ride (True I didn't go to preview with instructions day before). Others were confused also.
Met Captain when I went to purser to see where I could get a lighter. He gave me one, said to keep it. (Had no idea he was Captain). Found mine and gave it back, so now he said it is saved for emergency for others.
Mary , wife of Marv who is blind, fell off bike on Mackinac. Eric (ship staff on vacation with mom) were right there to help. Doc on board, Lori and everyone helped.
Weather issues disappointing. No sailing to Chicago, no excursion on Chicago river). Staff handled well.

Staff were friendly,respectful, and efficient. Ship was clean. Easy to get around.Food was good and a variety.

We enjoyed our time aboard Victory II. Although our room, 207, was very noisy, when brought to the attention of the staff they were right on it. The mechanicals under the room will always be there, so it is unfortunate nothing can be done. The issue was resolved in our favor so we mived on. Overall, we were impressed. The ship is super clean and well maintained. The crew is very personable and professional. A special callout to our waiter Edward. A true professional who goes out of his way to please the customer. Thank you Edward.

All the staff I came in contact with were very helpful and professional.

All expectations were exceeded on our Victory Cruise of the five Great Lakes. From the attentive and caring staff, to the overabundant amount of delicious food offered, and included excursions with engaging guides... I 100% recommend Victory Cruise Lines. Our trip was wonderful from start to finish. It is a true luxury choice for anyone wanting to see the Great Lakes or anywhere they sail.

The shipboard staff was great except for the Purser office which could not even do simple things. The tour director did not have a lot of information. You need a website that is useful and much more details on excursions. Have an app instead of a website which never stays connected for ships activities. Your laureate was extremely knowledgeable.

The entire staff were delightful, so friendly and helpful. They all seemed to enjoy their jobs. The entertainment was top notch. Food was delicious with the best servers in the world.
