NEW ALBANY — Victory Cruise Lines has announced its first Early Black Friday Sale on select 2025 sailings.
Running from Oct. 30 through Dec. 4, 2024, the sale applies to select 2025 season sailings departing in April, May and June, and embarking in Toronto or Chicago. It includes savings of US$2,000 per stateroom, based on double occupancy, and one free pre-cruise, premium shore excursion. Use promo code BLACKFRIDAY.
“One of my favourite 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,” says 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.”
Sailing all five Great Lakes, ports include favourites such as Mackinac Island, Sault Ste. Marie, Detroit, Cleveland and Niagara Falls (Port Colborne).
FREE PRE-CRUISE EXCURSIONS
In Toronto, guests will explore the city with a local expert guiding them through architectural landmarks, historic neighbourhoods and cultural hotspots, including the Distillery District. Those embarking in Chicago will explore the city by boat with a local expert, gliding by more than 40 landmarks including the Wrigley Building, the John Hancock Building and Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower).
