Victory Cruise Lines is partnering with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation for the 2025 season. The exclusive educational and marketing partnership will enhance the shore excursion program for guests by offering discussions about Frank Lloyd Wright sites along the Great Lakes, the architect’s life and the ideals and principals that guided his work. Ports of call featuring Frank Lloyd Wright architectural experiences include Chicago, Detroit and Muskegon (Grand Rapids).
Guests embarking on a Great Lakes cruise from Chicago’s Navy Pier can first visit Frank Lloyd Wright’s designed Unity Temple, revered and recognized by UNESCO and a designated National Historic Landmark. The Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio in Oak Park, one of the most popular architectural sites in the Midwest, is also a part of the pre-cruise Immersive Experience along with The Robie House and Rookery Building.
When Victory I and Victory II dock in downtown Detroit, guests can opt for a Premium Experience at The Smith House, which is operated by Cranbrook Center for Collections and Research and is an example of Wright’s Usonian ideal, aimed to build quality homes for the American middle class. Calling on Muskegon, Victory Cruise Lines offers a journey to the Meyer May House in Grand Rapids and an exclusive opportunity to visit the Amberg House, a private home not open to the public.

- “Ultimate Great Lakes” – nine nights; Chicago to Toronto or Milwaukee to Toronto
