Cunard Line: Queen Victoria

Overview

Designers of Cunard's newest vessel drew upon the rich history of previous Cunard ocean liners. From the ship's double- and triple-height spaces—design features of grand liners of the past—to rooms imbued with an elegant yet understated British charm, the overall effect is both contemporary and historically classic.

Queen Victoria herself might very well feel at home upon entering the double-height Queens Room, a loggia-style venue designed in the manner of the grand ballrooms found in large English country houses, such as Her Majesty's own Osborne House. Reminiscent of QE2, the ballroom has cantilevered balconies overlooking an inlaid wooden dance floor; the staircase is detailed with classically ornate, curved railings.

In addition to the intimate dining spaces and a lounge reserved for occupants of Queens and Princess Grill accommodations, an outdoor terrace is devoted to their exclusive use. All other public rooms are accessible to everyone on board.
