Victory Cruise Lines, operated by American Queen Steamboat Company, is building its third vessel, the 200-passenger Ocean Victory. The ship will sail in Alaska on seven- to 10-night voyages from May through September, 2021. Onboard amenities include two restaurants, an open-deck dining area, observation and lectures lounges, piano bar, library, gym, spa, and swimming pool with a pool bar and Jacuzzi. The vessel’s small size and low draw will allow it to dock in Alaska ports not accessible to larger cruise ships. Equipped with 20 Zodiacs and dozens of kayaks, the Ocean Victory will provide guests with opportunities for active adventure and viewing wildlife. A staff of marine biologists, scientists and naturalists will lead expeditions and give lectures. (victorycruiselines.com)
