Victory Cruise Lines, which completes its second year operating on the Great Lakes this fall after relaunching last year, will expand beyond the region with new Southeast Coastal voyages in 2027.
Three new spring and fall sailings, operating roundtrip from Jacksonville, Fla., will pair southern cities, with coastal Florida stops and The Bahamas.
“Our guests know and love Victory on the Great Lakes, and now we’re giving them a whole new coast to discover,” said John Waggoner, founder and chairman of Victory Cruise Lines. “It’s a beautiful trip with great cities, fascinating history, and a lot of variety along the way. And you get to experience it from the comfort of our 190-guest ships, with personal service, great food and the ease of unpacking once and letting us take care of the rest.”
Sailing in spring and fall aboard the 190-guest Victory I and Victory II, the 11-day cruises visit Savannah (Georgia); Charleston, Port Royal, and Beaufort (South Carolina); West Palm Beach and Amelia Island (Florida); and Freeport (The Bahamas).
A March 31, 2027, departure also marks the first opportunity for guests to experience the cuisine and culinary vision of Michelle Bernstein, Victory Cruise Line’s new culinary curator and chef partner. The James Beard Award-winning chef has created destination-inspired menus and dining experiences that celebrate regional flavors and local traditions of ports visited along the way.
The three sailings depart March 31, Oct. 28, and Nov. 7, 2027.
