Victory Cruise Lines, the small-ship cruise line sailing the Great Lakes and Canadian Coasts, has launched its first Early Black Friday Sale, offering $2,000 per stateroom and one free pre-cruise premium shore excursion for travelers who book select 2025 sailings along the Great Lakes

The sale is going on now through December 4, 2024, for select sailings departing April, May and June from Toronto or Chicago with the promotion code BLACKFRIDAY. 

Before embarkation, travelers can enjoy a free premium pre-cruise shore excursion, either with a walking tour of Toronto’s landmarks, including the Distillery District, or in Chicago with a boat tour along the Chicago River, which promises views of over 40 landmarks.  

The Great Lakes itineraries visit destinations such as Mackinac Island, Sault Ste. Marie, Detroit, Cleveland and Niagara Falls. Thirty-three of the sailings sail along each of the five Great Lakes. Victory Cruise Lines is the only cruise line in the Great Lakes that docks at Chicago’s Navy Pier. 

“One of my favorite parts of the Victory Cruise Lines’ experience is that it begins before guests even step onboard Victory I or Victory II, as we include a pre-cruise hotel night allowing ample time for exploration before sail away,” shares John Waggoner, founder and chairman of Victory Cruise Lines. “Our Early Black Friday Sale provides a value-added pre-cruise, premium shore excursion for a limited time that I believe our guests will appreciate and enjoy before embarking on their cruise.”
