  <p>Few ships can have the same blend of elegance and grace found on Queen Victoria. Her expansive double- and triple-height
  public spaces and restaurants, will be reminded of a more genteel era.
</p><p>
  You&#8217;ll also discover grand venues like the Royal Court
  Theatre with private boxes, a Library with spiral staircase and The
  Grills featuring an outdoor terrace, private lounge and al fresco
  dining in The Courtyard.</p>
<div class="travelAgentButton">Contact a <a href="http://cruiseandvacationexperts.com/travel-club/">Cruise Expert </a><br /> call 770 261-8605 <br />or 800 541-9075 </div>
<h3>Fine Dining</h3>
<img style="float:right;margin:1px 3px 1px 12px; padding:3px;border:1px solid #ccc" src="http://cruiseandvacationexperts.com/images/cunard/qv-queens-grill.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="215" />
<p>
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.
</p><p>
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.
</p><p>
<strong>Queens Room, Afternoon Tea </strong>
</p><p>
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.

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.
</p><p>
<strong>The Commodore Club</strong>
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.
</p><p>
<strong>Cafe Carinthia</strong>
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.
</p><p>
<strong>The Golden Lion Pub</strong> and <strong>Churchill's Cigar Lounge</strong>
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.
</p><p>
<strong>The Todd English Restaurant</strong>
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.
</p>
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Cunard liners continue to inspire crowds all over the world -- with 168 years of legacy and tradition, the only way to travel to Europe in luxury is on one of <strong> The Most Famous Ocean Liners in the World!</strong>

Azamara  Cruises consists of two intimate ships, <a href="http://cruiseandvacationexperts.com/luxury-cruises/azamara-journey/">Azamara Journey</a> and Azamara Quest. Each can carry 710 fortunate guests and because they are smaller and sleeker than larger cruise ships, they can sail to ports that others simply cannot reach.
</p><p>
In addition to offering a more personalized experience, these ships have recently undergone a $17.5 million revitalization with new European bedding and soft goods, flat screen televisions, new veranda decking and furniture, and wireless internet service in all staterooms and public areas. Plus, 93% of the staterooms offer ocean views and 68% have a private veranda.
</p><p>
The unique offerings of Azamara Quest are beyond compare:

<th>Apr 3, Sunday Puerto Vallarta, Mexico </th><td>  
  <p>Embraced by rugged tropical mountains on one side and the beautiful Banderas Bay on the other, Puerto Vallarta is second only to Acapulco when it comes to the Mexican Riviera. White stucco houses are capped with red-tile roofs and surrounded by bougainvillea-lined cobblestone streets.  </p>
  <p>Nearby, sophisticated restaurants, luxury hotels, smart boutiques and lively nightclubs bear testament to the changes wrought on this quiet seaside city since the 1960s. Life here has never been quite the same since the filming of the movie "Night of the Iguana" and the worldwide publicity accorded the romance of its stars, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Puerto Vallarta brims with life.  Explore cobblestone streets and picturesque alleyways filled with the scents and bustling energy of Mexico.</p></td>

<th>Apr 4, Monday Mazatlán, Mexico </th><td>  
  The massive lighthouse of El Faro welcomes you to the thriving seaport of Mazatlán. Located on a peninsula just south of the Tropic of Cancer, this fast-developing resort is a fishing and sportsperson's paradise. Supposedly there are as many fishing boats as tennis courts here! Offshore, scores of sailfish and marlin frolic in the temperate waters while para-sailors drift lazily overhead. Mazatlán offers a rich diversity of activities. Feel free to shop at the colorful market and folk art shops, explore the charming town plaza, relax at a fine resort hotel or try your luck sportfishing. </td>
 </tr><tr>
<th>Apr 5, Tuesday Loreto, Mexico</th><td> 
  <p>Sitting on the east coast of Baja, Loreto provides all the diversions of a small, seafront town, including diving, kayaking and fishing. There is also a chance to play a game of tennis at the Tennis Center or a round of golf on the greens carpeting a special spot by the Sea of Cortez. </p>
  <p>Then there is the excursion of boating five miles from shore to the Islas Coronado, where you can spot sea lions basking in the sun.
    
    All these features make Loreto an appealing destination on  Crystal Cruises. </p>
  <p>Loreto was founded in 1697 as the head of the Jesuit missions to California and for 130 years, served as the territory's capital. Stop in the original mission church and wander through the small museum next door and learn more about Baja's missionary history. </p></td>
 </tr><tr>
<th>Apr 6, Wednesday La Paz, Mexico </th><td> 
  <p>Cradled between the stark sands of Baja and the fertile waters of the Sea of Cortez, La Paz offers a host of challenging opportunities. Dubbed "the World&acute;s largest fish trap," the area is home to over 800 species of fish and 2,000 species of invertebrates. Giant manta rays and whales navigate the depths while dolphins and sea lions frolic on the surface. </p>
  <p>Deep sea fishing, diving and sightseeing boats are available for charters. </td>

<th>Apr 7, Thursday Cabo San Lucas, Mexico </th>

    <p>Cabo San Lucas is nestled on the southernmost tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the cool currents of the Pacific Ocean meet the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez. Commanding rock formations, timeless desert and a translucent sea provide a compelling introduction to this tranquil resort town. </p>
    <p>Here, mile upon mile of golden sandy coves dot the shoreline while marlin and sailfish frolic in the waters offshore. Laze on a deserted beach, explore the undersea world or discover bustling shops and markets for tempting treasures such as silver, jewelry and wooden sculptures.</p>    </p></td>

  <p>Bordered on one side by the graceful Pacific Ocean lapping its shores and the hot desert plains on the other, this magical city is a festive and colorful attraction for tourists and locals. Close by lies graceful La Jolla, Spanish for the jewel, and Solana Beach, a beach community located near charming Del Mar. </p>
