How Does a Victory Cruise Lines Voyage Compare With Other Cruise Lines?
Victory Cruise Lines is small-ship cruising at its most personal. Instead of a mega-ship packed with thousands of passengers, you sail North America’s most captivating inland waterways aboard Victory I® and Victory II® — identical sister ships that welcome just 190 guests each.
Because these ships are so intimate and agile, they can navigate lakes, canals, locks, tranquil bays, and hidden ports where larger vessels cannot go. A Victory Cruise Lines voyage covers all five Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence Seaway, the Canadian Maritimes, and New England the way they are meant to be seen — up close, unhurried, and immersed in local culture.
Victory Cruise Lines voyages are all-inclusive: a complimentary pre-cruise hotel stay, unlimited beverages, regionally inspired cuisine, included shore excursions, and enrichment talks from Victory’s resident LakeLorians®. If a slow, sophisticated, deeply American journey is your kind of thing, Victory is hard to beat.
How Much Is the Victory Cruise Lines Military Discount?
When you book your Victory Cruise Lines voyage through us and verify your service, you receive $250 off per qualifying military or veteran guest.
If two military members or veterans are traveling together, that becomes a $500 discount per cabin.
The discount applies to every Victory Cruise Lines sailing, and whenever Victory runs its own promotions, our military and veteran savings can be combined with them — so you get our discount on top of Victory’s current offers.
Who Qualifies for the Victory Cruise Lines Military Discount?
Any branch of the military qualifies — active duty, retired, National Guard, Reserves, and veterans.
Verification is simple. A photo of a DD-214 or a military ID is all we need, and we keep it on file so you only have to send it once.
How Do I Get the Discount Applied?
It’s simple. Before your final payment, send us an email with a picture of your DD-214 or military ID so we can keep it on file.
As soon as your verification is received, we apply your discount — $250 off per veteran or military member, or $500 off if both guests are military. Email us at info@militarycruisedeals.com or call 866-964-5482 and ask for Mitch.

The Ships: Victory I & Victory II
Victory I and Victory II are the two ships in the Victory Cruise Lines fleet, and the Victory Cruise Lines military discount applies to both.
Purpose-built for comfort and adventure, Victory I and Victory II are identical sister ships that welcome just 190 guests on culturally immersive journeys through the far reaches of North America. At 190 guests, they carry roughly one-twentieth the passenger load of a mainstream cruise ship, which is why they can enter small Great Lakes harbors and transit canal locks that larger vessels cannot.
Staterooms: Oceanview Comfort in Every Cabin
Every suite and stateroom aboard Victory offers expansive oceanview windows and home-like comforts, so you’re never far from the passing landscape. Aveda® spa-inspired bath and body products are provided in all cabins, and complimentary WiFi keeps you connected throughout your voyage.
Dining, Drinks, and Onboard Experiences
Victory Cruise Lines has partnered with acclaimed Chef Michelle Bernstein on an all-new culinary program. Regionally influenced menus are presented with artistry and served across multiple venues, bringing the flavors of each destination right to your table.
Fine wines, spirits, local beers, and specialty coffees are always included, along with live performances and engaging enrichment talks from Victory’s LakeLorians. Curated shore excursions are included in every voyage and led by expert local guides in each port.
