Victory Cruise Lines, which returns to operations on the Great Lakes and Canadian coast this April, has unveiled its inaugural shore excursion lineup, comprising 75 experiences in 2025.
Advisors and clients can find out more about each excursion in the Life Ashore page of Victory’s website under destinations. They’re also listed within each 2025 voyage itinerary.
“Drawing on decades of experience and tapping our long-standing local partnerships, we have curated a collection of revealing excursions and memorable experiences with great pride and passion,” said John Waggoner, founder and chairman of Victory Cruise Lines. “From historic lighthouses and cultural landmarks to outdoor adventures and culinary journeys, a rich variety of options both inclusive and optional are designed to appeal to every inclination for discovery.”
Victory’s Included Excursions give guests the opportunity to enjoy a one- to three-hour experience in each port of call, with each excursion offered at multiple times.
The extra-fee Premium Experiences offer a variety of guided excursions at either one or multiple locations that tell a story, focus on a similar topic, or offer a more in-depth understanding while the extra-fee Immersive Experience excursions provide an opportunity for hands-on, adventurous, or detailed travel moments.
A few of the highlights include a Henry Ford experience in Detroit, a visit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, a carriage ride on Mackinac Island, a tour of the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, and many more.
