According to Seatrade Cruise News, Victory Cruise Lines is gearing up for a triumphant comeback of its main vessels, Victory I and Victory II, scheduled to grace the freshwater seas once again next year.

Waggoner, the former owner of Victory Cruise Lines, previously operated these ships on the Great Lakes. He plans to relaunch Victory Cruise Lines, restoring the ships to their former names and reintroducing them in the spring of 2025.

The revival plans include 36 voyages, each lasting between 10 and 12 days. The vessels will travel across all five Great Lakes. Victory I is scheduled for a 197-day season, while Victory II will have a 153-day season. This revival could attract up to 7,000 passengers to the Great Lakes, significantly increasing from the 20,000 passengers expected this year.

The return of Victory I and Victory II is expected to attract tourists due to their unique and diverse itineraries. Passengers will enjoy comfortable conditions on board and visit picturesque locations along the five Great Lakes. Each voyage will include stops at renowned ports, offering opportunities to explore the region's natural and historical landmarks. This makes the journey appealing to those seeking new experiences and leisure on a cruise liner.

The return of Victory I and Victory II aims to revive the cruising experience on the Great Lakes, providing more opportunities for travelers to explore this unique region. Victory Cruise Lines' relaunch is anticipated to bring a renewed interest in Great Lakes cruises, with travelers eager to explore the region's scenic beauty and cultural landmarks. The detailed planning and diverse itineraries of these voyages are expected to make them a popular choice for tourists in 2025.
