A Hornblower ® Family of Companies
I’ve been a lover of adventure for as long as I can remember. And with Victory Cruise Lines the adventure extends from onboard – where outstanding service and world-class amenities make a home away from home – to ashore – where the world...its nature...your experience...beckons. Come explore the Great Lakes, Canada and New England or Alaska and Pacific Coast with us. We’ll listen to untold stories...visit hidden places...be introduced to unique local cultures. 2020 was quiet for us, but I can’t wait to show you what’s in store for 2021. 2021 is going to be our year. When we cruise again, we will do it like never before. With more appreciation for the pastime we’ve missed. With new routes for Victory I ™ and Victory II ™ and – for something entirely different – adventure expedition cruises in Alaska on a state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly ship: Ocean Victory.™ Learn all about this and more inside these pages. So, keep perusing and start dreaming about your next Victory Cruise Lines vacation. We love travel as much as you do, and we look forward to seeing you on board. Sincerely,
John W. Waggoner, CEO, Victory Cruise Lines

GREAT LAKES
Tour North America’s Inland Seas Fanned across the eastern border between Canada and the United States, Earth’s largest freshwater system anchors a realm all its own. Commerce and culture, flora and fauna, islands and inlets find common ground in an uncommonly glorious setting. We invite you to discover a diverse, eccentric region that draws visitors in...and beckons them back.
LAKE SUPERIOR
LAKE MICHIGAN
LAKE HURON
Lake Superior lives up to its name not only in its place as the largest of the Great Lakes, but also by its surface area – the largest of any freshwater lake in the world. A traveler on these waters touches nearly 3,000 cubic miles of water. And with an average depth of 500 feet, it features a nautical playground for a variety of marine life.
Less deep, and less cold than its Superior counterpart, Lake Michigan, the second largest Great Lake by volume is the only one whose borders lie entirely within the United States. This lake is a conduit for water travelers seeking to visit iconic American cities – Milwaukee, Muskegon and Chicago.
Sandy beaches and rocky bluffs border this freshwater fantasyland. Of the 35,000 islands peppering the Great Lakes, 30,000 spring from Lake Huron. The largest island on the lake also happens to be the largest freshwater island in the world – Manitoulin. It is home to six First Nation tribes and a year-round population in excess of 13,000.
16 | Contact your travel professional or call (888) 907-2636. Visit www.VictoryCruiseLines.com.
GREAT LAKES
LAKE ERIE
LAKE ONTARIO
The southernmost of the Great Lakes is also the shallowest and smallest in terms of volume. Its size allows it both warm and freeze rapidly in conjunction with the weather. Its allure draws island hoppers, birdwatchers, fishermen and one legendary creature – Bessie, a 40-ft. long, a foot-thick serpent.
This lake of shining waters – as its Iroquoian name implies – harbors pieces of each of the other Great Lakes within it. All of the water in the Great Lakes flows through this body of water. And the dunes, wetlands and rocky forests that surround it are recreational wonders for guests year-around.

The flow of the American rivers is strong. Compelling. Constant. Even their names ignite the imagination – the mighty Mississippi, the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee, the Snake and the scenic Columbia. Come home to the spirit of America, and join us on a journey through her heartstrings – aboard America’s most beautiful and most authentic paddlewheel riverboats. American-owned and American- operated. Beckoning you to explore America’s spirit.
AMERICAN QUEEN®
AMERICAN DUCHESS™
AMERICAN COUNTESS™
AMERICAN EMPRESS®
Our flagship is the largest overnight passenger steamboat ever built. Welcoming 417 guests, her authentic design and style can never be duplicated. Her melodic steam calliope can be heard along the full length of the Mississippi, from Red Wing to New Orleans. She truly is the queen of the river.
Smaller, more intimate and offering unprecedented views from her two-story loft suites, she is the only riverboat of her kind. She welcomes just 166 guests on each voyage. Enjoy her fashionable charm, authentic Murano glass and grand spaces as you explore the America’s rivers.
The newest gem in America’s premier riverboat fleet’s sleek contemporary styling welcomes 245 guests along America’s heartland rivers. With plenty of open space for gathering and sharing the fun, you’ll love the great forward-facing windows and the portside bar with an 80-foot view.
Showcasing the art and culture of her Pacific Northwest origins, she will dazzle you with her art collection alone. Unique paintings, wildlife and Native American art and a collection of exclusive pieces are rivaled only by authentic Fabergé eggs.

While medical personnel are available on board, acute medical conditions may require you to disembark to be attended to by shoreside emergency and/or medical response, and you are advised that, due to the nature of travel by water, emergency medical evacuation may be delayed or impossible. Guests needing any form of assistance and those who are physically disabled must be accompanied by someone who will take full responsibility for any needed assistance during the cruise and in the event of an emergency. Carrier reserves the right to refuse passage to anyone who, in our sole opinion, may affect the health, safety or enjoyment of other guests.

Also, there may be certain physical conditions, including raised doorway thresholds from 2 to 16 inches, stairways and narrow passageways within the vessel, that may limit or preclude the accessibility of wheelchair-bound guests to some areas. Carrier recommends that Guest purchase travel protection. Federal Maritime Commission Protection Under Public Law 89-777, the FMC requires vessels having berth or stateroom accommodations for fifty (50) or more passengers and that embark passengers from U.S. ports to maintain acceptable evidence of financial responsibility to indemnify passengers for nonperformance of transportation. Carrier maintains a surety bond insuring its financial responsibility, and holds a Certificate (Performance) issued by the FMC.

Operation of drones on board the vessel is strictly prohibited, and any onboard use may result in confiscation of the drone until the conclusion of the voyage or disembarkation of the Guest (at the Guest’s expense). While on board, drones must be stored safely within the stateroom. Guests assume full responsibility for understanding and complying with local regulations related to drone usage, including obtaining any necessary permits or permissions. All liability related to or arising from drone operation whatsoever is the Guest’s responsibility.
