About Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria is a Vista-class cruise ship built by Fincantieri at Marghera, Italy, and the smallest ship in Cunard's fleet at about 90,000 gross tons and 2,081 guests. She arrived in Southampton in December 2007 and left on her maiden voyage, a northern Europe cruise, on 11 December, followed soon after by a 107-day world cruise. Dining follows Cunard's tradition of restaurants assigned by cabin grade, from the Britannia Restaurant to the Princess and Queen's Grills, and her theater was the first at sea with private boxes. A major overhaul in May 2017 added cabins aft and new dining spaces.
