Victory I is a small cruise ship built by Atlantic Marine in Jacksonville, Florida, that entered service in 2001 under the name Cape May Light. The vessel has undergone multiple name changes and ownership transfers throughout her career, serving various operators before being acquired as the flagship of Victory Cruise Lines in 2016. The ship gained notable attention when, as Saint Laurent, she collided with the Eisenhower Lock in the Saint Lawrence Seaway in 2015, resulting in injuries to 22 people and closing the seaway for 42 hours.
