Aboard Cunard's spectacular new Queen Victoria: The 2000-guest Queen Victoria seamlessly fuses the distinctive Cunard heritage of civilized travel with an array of enticing modern amenities. As you embark, you'll encounter the dramatic three-tier Grand Lobby, whose magnificent staircase and eye-catching artwork offers a lavish taste of life aboard. The Winter Garden is all light and relaxation, very much colonial in tone, with decked floors and leafy foliage—its glass roof even opens to the warm breeze. Inventive cuisine is the hallmark aboard Cunard ships and the Victoria offers, in addition to its splendid dining rooms, Todd English’s Mediterranean Restaurant offers a superb alternative. Pamper yourself with a fitness or beauty treatment at the Royal Spa & Fitness Centre. In the evenings, try your luck at the Empire Casino, meet with friends in one of the ship’s intimate lounges, or enjoy a production at the Royal Court Theatre.
