Life On Board

The Victory II offers the perfect balance of comfort and adventure. Wherever you go on the ship, you can enjoy views of the Great Lakes, Michigan and Canada. Take a closer look at all that the Victory II offers to make your voyage as pleasant and enriching as possible:

Dining Room

Each day, you can select from three dining options: the Coastal Dining Room, The Grill and the Tavern. Each selection brings its own unique atmosphere, from the regionally inspired dishes of the Dining Room to the fresh and more casual Grill. There’s even a special fourth option — by night, The Grill becomes The Tuscan Stone Grill, where passengers can watch as their dinner selections are cooked on a volcanic lava rock.

Lounge

The Compass Lounge is a comfortable and elegant spot to relax and gather with other Road Scholars. This spacious area is surrounded by windows for sweeping views. Whether you’re enjoying a refreshing cocktail or discussing the day’s events with other Road Scholars, the Compass Lounge is sure to be a favorite congregating spot.

Sundeck

With 360-degree views, comfortable lounge chairs and options to sit under the sun or the coverage of a pergola, you’ll find it hard to tear yourself away from the Victory II’s sundeck! It’s the perfect spot to scope out your next port or catch the sunset after leaving your previous one.

Salon and Spa

Need an extra special touch? Whether it’s a relaxing massage after a big day of learning or a quick touch-up with a hairstylist, you don’t have to get off the ship to find rejuvenating amenities!
