Victory Cruise Lines Announces Exciting New Southeast Coastal Voyages
JACKSONVILLE, FL, September 20, 2026 — Victory Cruise Lines, renowned for its intimate Great Lakes voyages, is setting sail south with a major expansion. The company has announced three new roundtrip Southeast Coastal itineraries departing from Jacksonville, Florida, in 2027.
These 11-day all-inclusive sailings aboard the 190-guest Victory I and Victory II will chart a scenic route through the American South. The journey includes visits to storied destinations such as Savannah (Georgia); Charleston, Port Royal, and Beaufort (South Carolina); West Palm Beach (Florida); and the Bahamas. Departure dates are scheduled for March 31, October 28, and November 7, 2027, timed to coincide with the region’s milder spring and fall weather.
Founder and chairman John Waggoner sees the expansion as a natural progression. “Our guests know and love Victory on the Great Lakes, and now we’re giving them a whole new coast to discover.”
The March 31 voyage will introduce the culinary vision of James Beard Award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein, Victory’s new culinary curator. Bernstein has crafted destination-inspired menus that celebrate the regional flavors and traditions of each port of call. All-inclusive fares cover a one-night pre-cruise hotel stay, ground transfers, shore excursions, gourmet meals, and unlimited beverages.
