Queen Victoria  

With the launch of Queen Victoria, three Queens will sail together under the Cunard banner for the first time in our history.

To set eyes on her sleek outline, with her distinctive black and red livery, is to recognise her instantly as the latest classic Cunarder, a unique marriage of heritage and innovation. Warmly reminiscent of a more gracious era, modern technology combines seamlessly with her classic yet contemporary interior.

Elegant and stylish, every public room will create a unique ambience where our renowned White Star Service™ will continue to surpass expectations.

Relish the contemporary sophistication and timeless elegance of her magnificent venues such as the soaring Grand Lobby, where you will feel as if you’ve stepped back to a more sophisticated era. Or the spectacular Royal Court Theatre featuring the first-at-sea private boxes bringing you unobstructed views of entertaining productions.

Cruise Itinerary

Ports of Call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy
In the footsteps of the Ceasars you will spend your time in the Eternal City. From the Roman Forum, it's a short walk to the Colosseum, the Arch of Constantine and Palatine Hill. Across the Tiber River, the Sovereign State of the Vatican holds the key to the Sistine Chapel and Bernini's awesome colonnade.

Monte Carlo, Monaco
Nothing more than a tiny Principality, Monaco steals much more of the international limelight than its size decently permits. But it's the Grand Casino, of course, where you must peer into the enchanting Salon Rose to see its naked nymph-clad ceiling. It's also the palace and the cathedral, the Rock of Monaco and the harbor, packed to the gills with million-dollar motor yachts—and those are just the modest ones.

Barcelona, Spain
Located on the Mediterranean Sea, Barcelona is Spain's most cosmopolitan city. It is especially well known for its vitality and style, as you will see on Las Ramblas, Barcelona's main thoroughfare. The city, while boasting monuments that are Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance in style, also captivates visitors with its incredible modern architecture. Among those worthy of attention, are the works of the legendary architect Antonio Gaudi.

Cartagena, Spain
One of the principal ports of antiquity, Cartagena is your portal to the province of Murcia, famous for its prized rice, Calasparra. Paella, anyone?

Gibraltar, United Kingdom
As long as the Barbary Apes remain, the British will rule Gibraltar—this is the tradition that has held for 350 years. These pesky primates are a favorite with visitors despite their incessant chatter and light-fingered ways. Ride to the top of the Rock for great views over the Strait of Gibraltar—on a clear day you'll see Africa.

Southampton, England
Southampton is a city and major port situated on the south coast of England. It is the closest city to the New Forest, situated approximately halfway between Portsmouth and Bournemouth. Southampton lies at the northern-most point of Southampton Water where it is joined by the River Test and River Itchen, with the River Hamble joining to the south of the urban area. The city represents the core of the Greater Southampton region. A resident of Southampton is called a Sotonian.
