The five-plus-hour-long Victory Casino Cruises that departs from Port Canaveral in Florida’s Space Coast claims to be “America’s biggest and best casino cruise ship.”

Although there are daytime cruises, the 'PM cruises' – which run from 7 p.m. to midnight (or later, on Friday and Saturday) – are a unique and quintessential Space Coast way to celebrate the night in this stretch of Florida, which is well known for its bustling cruise ship port. The Victory cruises set off seven days a week.

Looking for more of the bar scene? The Victory Sportsbook Lounge is the ship’s sports bar, where you can watch sports games on flatscreen TVs and also bet on said games. Or try a round of video poker right at the bar counter. Also, don’t miss the dockside tiki bar.

The gaming options here vary to appeal to different levels of experience. You'll find penny, nickle and quarter slots and even $100 slots.

At the tables, try Let It Ride (a version of poker); craps; 21 + 3 (blackjack and three-card poker); roulette; blackjack; Texas Hold 'Em; three-card poker; and a new game called EZ Bac. The ship claims to be the only place in Florida to try it out.

The Victory cruise ship offers on-board food options, too. The restaurant, Atlantic Dining, specializes in fresh seafood and salads, as well as the signature V Burger, among other menu items. Like some dining options in Vegas, you can occasionally expect a buffet line here.

So don’t necessarily expect fine dining, but it’s typical casino fare that will fuel you up for the next round of games.
