MS Queen Victoria

Bridge cam

Queen Victoria joined the Cunard fleet in December 2007. With luxurious marbles, woods, plush carpets, rich fabrics and soft furnishings, this ship simply exudes elegance.

Queen Victoria is the running mate to Queen Mary 2, and Queen Elizabeth. Until November 2008, she also operated alongside Queen Elizabeth 2. Queen Victoria is of the same basic design as other Vista-class passenger vessels, though slightly longer and more in keeping with Cunard's interior style. At 90,000 GRT, she is the smallest of all three Cunard ships, after the RMS Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth. Ship facilities include seven restaurants, thirteen bars, three swimming pools, a ballroom, and a theatre. 

Queen Victoria was refurbished in 2011. Upgrades include stateroom upgrades, Grand Lobby and Chart Room makeover, new carpet in the Britannia Restaurant, and Queen's Room dance floor refinish.
