Paddling by our steed for the trip, the Victory 1 that carries around 200 passengers. It is a smaller ship. This is my second small ship cruise and I sure like it as it's much more intimate and easy to get around. The previous owner of the Victory ships (1 and 2) bought them back last year and refurbished them. They started their Great Lakes sailing this past spring. Luckily, Wendy and I ended up with one of two rooms that had three windows.
