Victory Casino Cruises cancels remaining 2026 sailings
The Florida-based operator has suspended operations indefinitely after an extended dry dock kept its only vessel from resuming regular service.
Victory Casino Cruises has cancelled all remaining departures scheduled for 2026 and stopped taking new reservations. The company has not announced a new return-to-service date for Victory I, its sole vessel.
Pete Lynch said in a Facebook post that the operator furloughed its entire workforce, including him, because the ship’s dry dock period had been extended. The company has not formally said it is closing permanently.
Victory Casino Cruises said customers affected by the cancellations, including those who paid deposits for upcoming departures, would receive refunds through the payment methods originally used. It has not provided a specific timeframe for processing those payments.
Casino loyalty points and prepaid dining credits will not carry over to any future sailings, leaving unused benefits without transferable value.
