Creator's Key Takeaways

We could have started this cruise line the easy way or we could have done it the hard way. Which way you think we could?

I christen the ship, the victory one. May God bless all who sail on her and all her voyages ahead.

They are indeed the new embodiment of the sister queens of the Great Lakes, albeit with all the necessary modern creature comforts.

It's so nice to have these ships back in the cruising world with their classic style, gracious hospitality, comfortable surrounds, and delicious cuisine.
