Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Queen Victoria
Excellent cruise with well organised ports of call, excellent speakers, activities and good food. Crew were very pleasant and helpful. Cabin was a little tired, and it was the smallest shower I have ever seen!
Lovely decorated ship and very friendly and efficient staff. Felt very spoilt and well taken care of. A relaxing holiday.
Beautiful ship but needs an overhaul of the air conditioning which was very noisy and difficult to regulate
True old fashioned cruising. Love the ship and the staff are all amazing, nothing was too much trouble.
