Continuing its growth in small-ship expedition cruising, Victory Cruise Lines will offer 99 sailings in 2023 aboard four ships for the first time, including the brand new 200-guest exploration ship, Ocean Discoverer, which will offer a series of 11 and 12-day adventures to less visited destinations in Alaska as well two exotic Mexico and Costa Rica sailings. Twin sister, Ocean Victory, which will debut in 2022, will join her in Alaska in 2023 while veteran fleet mates, the 202-guest sisters, Victory I and Victory II, will encore their famous explorations of the Great Lakes of Canada and the United States as well as sailings along the picturesque coast of New England, Mexico’s sun-drenched Yucatan Peninsula and the US east coast and to the Bahamas. Built expressly for low imprint, high-comfort exploration in remote areas and sporting an innovative design and swept-back X-bow that promises a smoother ride, the deluxe, eco-friendly Ocean Discoverer will sport a shallow draft of 5.1m, allowing access to secluded destinations bigger ship cannot reach. Powered by electro and diesel engines, the hi-tech, clean-fuel Ocean Discoverer will boast a spectacular, aft-facing infinity pool, jacuzzi, two restaurants serving regionally inspired cuisine, panoramic observation lounge overlooking the bow, library, fitness centre and spa, piano bar and 93 luxury staterooms - all with ocean views and the majority with private balconies.
