Touring Cunard's Queen Victoria

This week, we were invited to participate in a ship tour and luncheon on board Cunard’s Queen Victoria. The Queen Victoria entered service in December of 2007, and carries approximately 1,990 guests on each sailing. It is not often that tours of the Cunard Fleet are available, so of course, we took full advantage of this one. I must admit, although my agency has Commodore Status with Cunard which is achieved by completing extensive training programs, I have not personally seen a Cunard ship. So yes, this was a first for me. And let me start off by saying that I was not disappointed at all.

With Cunard, there are three levels of stateroom accommodations. Britannia, Princess Grill and Queens Grill. The Britannia rooms are the “standard” staterooms, and guests in these rooms dine in the Britannia Dining Room. The Princess Grill Suites are larger with more amenities, and guests in these accommodations dine in the Princess Grill Dining Room. The Queens Grill staterooms are by far the most elegant with even more amenities, and guests in these suites dine in the Queens Grill dining room. Also, guests that are in the Princess Grill and Queens Grill accommodations also have access to areas that are only for Princess Grill and Queens Grill guests. All of the rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed. None of the three levels is lacking in anything at all.


As for public spaces, there are plenty of lounges and clubs, the card room is spacious and the two story library is breathtaking. You will also find a beautiful ball room where you will find dancing nightly.




The Queen Victoria is absolutely gorgeous. She is classy, elegant and comfortable. She is not a ship for everyone or every experience; it really depends on what you are looking for with your vacation. However, with that said, I really think every cruiser should sail on Cunard at least once! With three ships to choose from, be it the Queen Mary 2, the Queen Elizabeth or the Queen Victoria, there is surely an itinerary that will delight you. This is a perfect cruise for a celebration … such as retirement, a special birthday, a special anniversary, or any special occasion.
