Cruise was wonderful as were the staff but the drinks and trips were just a ridiculous cost
Queen Victoria sails proudly under the Cunard banner alongside her fellow Queens, where Classical elegance meets sleek, contemporary design onboard the beautifully refined Queen Victoria. Measuring nearly 300 metres in length, Queen Victoria is Cunard's 2nd largest cruise liner with a maximum passenger capacity of 2,014 over 12 decks. The stunning Queen Victoria ship features over 1,000 staterooms, 86% of which are outside cabins, many with balconies.
Queen Victoria was enhanced in May 2017, following a refit 'fit for a queen'. New enhancements include an expansion of the aft lido sun deck which turns the space into a luxury resort roof terrace area where guests can enjoy more seating to accommodate al fresco dining options and live entertainment, plus enhanced deck furniture as well as more shaded areas. Also in the refit is the refreshment of two popular public areas, the Lido buffet and Winter Garden, the introduction of The Yacht Club and enhanced accommodation.
Queen Victoria's lucky passengers will be sure to appreciate her subtle blend of classical style and contemporary innovation as they are indulged by the legendary Cunard White Star Service – guaranteed to surpass all expectations. Onboard the magnificent Queen Victoria, the all-British Cunard crew will continue to live up to their first-class gastronomic reputation as they serve up a delightful array of culinary creations. With a fabulous choice of restaurants onboard, including the Queen's Grill and the Britannia Restaurant, Queen Victoria guests will enjoy a fine dining experience every night of their Cunard cruise holiday.
Included diningPassengers onboard Cunard Cruises' Queen Victoria can soak up the refined elegance of the Queens Room whilst enjoying a sophisticated evening of entertainment. One of the most popular venues at night is the Golden Lion Pub, where guests can expect classic pub entertainment and live music. For a late night dance, head over to Hemispheres. If you’re feeling lucky, try your hand at one of the slot machines or table games at the casino.
Other bars and lounges:There are many ways to keep yourself occupied on Queen Victoria. Traditional pastimes on the ship include a stroll around the Promenade Deck and a game of shuffleboard or quoits, while many guests enjoy challenging each other to a game of table tennis or swimming a few lengths of the pool.
If you’d like to get involved in the fitness classes, trained professionals lead groups in Pilates, aerobics and spinning, while personal trainers are on hand for an experience that’s tailored to you.
Cunard also welcome children onboard, offering tailored activities to suit all ages, including arts and crafts, sports, computer games and even trips to the cinema and theatre on the ship. The young guests are divided into two groups- The Play Zone for two to seven year olds and The Zone for eight to seventeen year olds- and are supervised by youth staff to ensure that they have as much fun as possible.
The Cunard Queen Victoria dress code is elegantly formal, in keeping with the fabulous standards onboard and understated elegance of Cunard Line's stunning ships. The main dining rooms and speciality restaurants are where you can dress to impress each evening. For those days of late shore excursions, or long days by the pool, there is also the casual buffet dining to choose from.

We have just completed a Baltic cruise on the queen victoria and had a wonderful time. I enjoyed the art classes and deck games while my husband enjoyed the lectures on sea days. The formal nights were great as was the food and the people we made friends with in the quizzes. The weather was very good and the ports of call all very good especially as we did ports we haven't visited before. These included Oslo, Klaipeda Lithuania, Visby Gotland Sweden, Tallin, overnight in St Petersburg and finally Gdansk Glynia Poland. A great cruise I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see some great Baltic countries.
Show moreThe cruise took us to some places I had never heard of - Klaipeda and Visby, but both were beautiful. We were fortunate to have perfect weather throughout the cruise. We went mainly to go on the Queen Victoria, but all the stops were wonderful. Cunard service was superb as usual and the ship was magnificent. We can't wait to go on another Baltic cruise.
