Queen Victoria

Cunard is pleased to announce the 2009 itinerary for Queen Victoria.

Following her sold-out Inaugural, Holiday, and maiden World Cruise, the newest ocean liner, Queen Victoria will sail the length and breadth of Europe for summer 2008. There she will sail 14 unique itineraries, from the stunning Norwegian Fjords, to historic St. Petersburg, Russia and into the legendary Mediterranean and Aegean Seas.

Queen Victoria will spend her first summer based in the sunny Mediterranean, with an array of exciting itineraries to some of the most enchanting ports of call in the region.

Many of Queen Victoria´s voyages begin and end in different classic Mediterranean destinations, such as the Ancient Wonders of the Mediterranean voyage which embarks in Rome and concludes in Athens. Or Greek Isles & Aegean Shores which sails from Venice to Istanbul.

Several voyages include overnight stays in some of the world’s most charming cities, including Barcelona, Venice, and Istanbul.

Cunardia, Cunard Museum

Destined to become one of Queen Victoria´s most captivating features, Cunardia enlightens and entertains visitors with heartfelt anecdotes and artifacts dating from Cunard´s Queens of the 20th century.

Retired Commodore Ronald Warwick serves as Honorary Curator and oversees an abundance of Cunard memorabilia and vintage souvenirs, including Queen Mary´s log book and her historic zigzag clock. This vital timekeeping device alerted navigators as to when to change course during the operation known as zigzagging — a tactic designed to confuse WWII U-boats.

Fine Dining

From afternoon tea to cocktails and dining, Queen Victoria is Cunard’s showcase on tradition. Aboard Queen Victoria, you will find the grand tradition of cocktails and dining as an anticipated event.

As you move through the day, they will be a wide array of
culinary and cocktail venue choices, ranging from the Commodore Club, the Golden Lion Pub and the Queens Room to favorites like the Veuve Clicquot Champagne Bar and Todd English.

Queens Room, Afternoon Tea

Cunard’s formal ballroom, the Queens Room on Decks Two and Three, is the setting for one of the most civilized customs: traditional afternoon tea served by white-gloved waiters. Reminiscent of a grand ballroom in a large country house, the dramatic double-height space features gleaming crystal chandeliers and specially commissioned murals. A variety of musicians, including a harpist and string quartet, will perform in the Queens Room on a rotating basis.

The Britannia Restaurant
is a strikingly elegant space featuring a soaring double-height ceiling offset by cornices and intimate groupings of tables that belie the room´s magnificent size. Inspired by the dining car of the famed Golden Arrow that linked London to Paris, the restaurant´s Art Deco design influences are captured in its original artwork, wall sconces and a combination of authentic finishes that include polished wood, bronze mirror and gold leaf.

The Commodore Club
on Deck 10 captures the essence of Old World liner elegance. Showcasing murals of past Cunard liners in custom porthole displays, as well as two intricate ship models at the entrance, the room’s nautical atmosphere is further highlighted by wood inlaid flooring with a compass design. Hot and cold canapés are served while live music plays in the background from late afternoon through early evening, making the club an ideal retreat for cocktails with an ocean view.

Cafe Carinthia
on Deck Two mirrors the style and sophistication of a traditional French patisserie. An elegant space highlighted by Art Deco elements in shades of gold, blue and rich bronze, the café is poised to be a guest favorite from early morning until well past sun down. Fresh baked croissants, Danish, muffins and a wide selection of coffees (including cappuccinos, espressos and lattes) and premium Wedgwood teas are served.

The Golden Lion Pub and Churchill’s Cigar Lounge
represent the epitome of tradition. The Golden Lion Pub replicates a traditional English pub right down to its tabletop blackboard menus advertising the day´s pub fare, including fish and chips and Shepherd´s Pie. Guests enjoy a wide selection of ales and can keep current on the latest news and sports on plasma screen televisions in Cunard´s signature pub. A quiet colonial ambiance defines the 11-seat Churchill’s, a wood-paneled cigar lounge adjacent to the Commodore Club on Deck 10 where a vast selection of cigars and an array of Armagnac, Cognac, Port, Madeira and Scotch set a refined and elegant tone.

The Todd English Restaurant
aboard Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria will also boast one of the celebrated chef´s eponymous restaurants. An intimate and stylish alternative to your primary experience in one of the ship´s main dining rooms, Todd English affords Queen Victoria guests an opportunity to experience the cuisine of one of America´s leading chefs in a setting of refined elegance. Waterford crystal, Wedgwood china, Gainsborough silverware and Hepp cutlery add the finishing touches to what will be one of the ship´s most sought-after fine dining experiences.
