A Tradition Since the Year 1839

The most glamorous names of the age, yesterday and today, have made Champagne toasts in her salons, waltzed the night away in her grand ballrooms, savoured grand feasts of the finest flavours in her dining rooms, and whiled away hours immersed in fascinating conversation on her decks. They invite you to take your place in the rich heritage of ocean travel, and write your own classic adventure tale. Join us for a journey on the legendary ocean liners of Cunard.

A Glorious New Reign Begins
The world’s most anticipated ship has arrived. She is a sonnet in motion. Destined for legendary status from the moment she first touched the sea. Queen Victoria™ gracefully blends timeless British tradition with a rich array of modern amenities.

Sophistication
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. From the sparkling Mediterranean to the pristine waters in Northern Europe, her voyages will immerse you in the best of European cultures and destinations as she carries on the Cunard® legacy in the grandest style imaginable.

The Exceptional is to be Expected aboard the Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria's pleasurable diversions and distractions ensure you are as thoroughly entertained and entirely relaxed as you would wish to be. It's simply a question of matching your mood to the many pleasures in front of you.

Priority Pampering
If pampering is your priority, give yourself over to rejuvenating spa therapies and revitalising beauty treatments in the Cunard Royal Spa and Fitness Centre. When discovery calls, compare regional subtleties in wine-tasting classes in the Midships Lounge or expand your expertise with an engaging guest speaker. In sunny climes, saunter outdoors onto 10,000 square feet of glorious open deck. Challenge yourself to a length or two of the outdoor pool before tea. Or dive into an enthralling novel - picked from the Library's nearly 6,000 titles.

Later the curtain rises on sparkling entertainment. The splendid Royal Court Theatre seats 830 and has the first private boxes at sea. Then waltz on the beautifully crafted dance floor beneath the Queens Room's glittering chandeliers.

Onboard the Queen Mary 2

Continuing Cunard Traditions
A new 92,000-ton liner, to be named ‘Queen Elizabeth’ has been ordered and is scheduled to enter service in the autumn of 2010. They have signed an agreement with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri for the contruction of the new 2092-passenger ocean liner, which will be built at their Monfalcone yard at an all-in cost of approximately $993 million. The vessel will be the second largest Cunarder ever built.

Queen Elizabeth will offer the very best of Cunard's values and traditions, blended with every conceivable modern luxury that you, their guests, expect. Through her opulent public rooms and impeccable service, the new ship will reflect the grandeur which has been associated with Cunard ships since the introduction of the Mauretania in 1907; and from the outside, her black hull, gleaming white superstructure and distinctive red funnel will echo the classic characteristics of the company's distinctive liner heritage. Queen Elizabeth will fly the Red Ensign with her home-port Southampton, as is the case with the other ships in the Cunard fleet.
