Queen Victoria will delight you with her special appeal, where elegance and unique features combine seamlessly with outstanding hospitality. You’ll discover an extraordinary way to see the world.
Booked fortnight’s cruise less than four weeks before sailing for a good price, so good value. Food in the main dining room was better than the cruise this time last year on ‘Victoria’ - quality, presentation and taste. The fish in particular was cooked properly. Excellent cleanliness in stateroom. Disappointed with the theatre entertainment - repeats of same performers in same week … Ship’s theatre company did a super performance of ‘Come From Away’, but no real ‘Broadway’ style show with real dancers and costume changes …
Had the most amazing time. Couldn’t fault anything, the food was great, the entertainment was fantastic. Really enjoyed the stops and got to see some real Norwegian culture.
Absolutely out of this world experience,my friends had an absolutely great 3 week trip with an amazing experience cruising sensational places loved all the international food on board,would recommend this great experience to anyone wishing to travel this way.
Lovely ship, fantastic crew, nothing too much trouble and the best omellete I have ever tasted, and an especial thanks to the staff in the mdr from reception to Sam the wine waiter made us feel special
We have been with Cunard before but found the new ship Queen Anne to be poorly staffed and organised compared to the other ships the food on the ship was not to the same standard as the other ships Queen Mary and Victoria and we felt that we were not given the service we should of had from embarkation to the end of the voyage and it has put us off going with Cunard’s again.
