Cunard Cruise Lines    

   
Queen Victoria

The world’s most anticipated ship has arrived. She is a sonnet in motion. Destined for legendary status from the moment she first touched the sea. Queen Victoria™ gracefully blends timeless British tradition with a rich array of modern amenities.

Relish the contemporary sophistication and timeless elegance of her magnificent venues such as the soaring Grand Lobby, where you will feel
as if you’ve stepped back to a more sophisticated era. Or the spectacular Royal Court Theatre featuring the first-at-sea private boxes bringing
you unobstructed views of entertaining productions.

From the sparkling Mediterranean to the pristine waters in Northern Europe, her 2008 maiden voyages will immerse you in the best of European cultures and destinations.

Be a part of her maiden season in Europe as she carries on the Cunard® legacy in the grandest style imaginable.

Following our finest traditions
Warmly reminiscent of a more gracious era, modern technology combines seamlessly with her classic yet contemporary interior. Crafted to exude elegance with intricate mosaics, gleaming chandeliers and luxuriant marbles. Crafted too, for sublime comfort with plush carpets, rich fabrics and soft furnishings.

Her arrival in December 2007 has already stirred remarkable anticipation. In January 2008, she makes her first show-stopping global debut as her thrilling Maiden World Cruise is destined for seafaring folklore. It's a classic Cunard tradition magnificently reinterpreted. Would you expect anything else? Queen Victoria is, after all, a Classic Cunarder.

January 2008 will see another proud moment in our history. As Queen Victoria sets off for New York on the first stage of her Maiden World Cruise, her sister, QE2 will join her on an historic tandem Transatlantic Crossing. These elegant Cunarders will sail on January 6, 2008 arriving in New York on January 13 to meet their sister, Queen Mary 2 for a great meeting of the three Queens. A momentous occasion not to be missed.

The Warmest Welcome
On Queen Victoria, over two thirds of the staterooms have private balconies to catch the sea breeze. Upholding the classic tradition at sea, your choice of accommodation is matched to your dining style. Luxuriate in sumptuous Queens Grill and Princess Grill suites with marble bathrooms and butler service in the highest categories.
