It does not have the distinctiveness that you get with the “liner” style bow and overall uniqueness of the QE2 or Queen Mary 2. But once inside, Cunard has done a great job at making the ship feel and look distinctively Cunard. I think the ship is beautiful…

…) Day 2 (Monday 11 January) Sea Day en route to Ponta Delgada Cunard Queen Victoria in Atlantic The Queen Victoria rose and fell as the seas were whipped up by the winds that raged between 40 and 50 knots from the time we entered the English Channel.

…rself, as it’s very natural and undeveloped in the surrounding area. Me at Victoria Falls. The best attraction I have ever seen I went to University in South Africa and had my first job there.

…r familiar things just to disturb you. It felt not as good as on the Queen Victoria at first, but (of course) within a day it all felt like home and familiar again.

The Most Luxurious Cabin At Sea? Cunard Queen Victoria Master Suite (video)

…ly) cabins you can cruise in is this Queens Grill suite on board the Queen Victoria cruise ship, which is the same as a similar suite on the sister ship Queen Elizabeth. Queens Grill is the “first class” on the ship and the Caronia Suite is a Q2, which means it is the second biggest grade of suite on the ship with the Grand Suite being larger and more expensive. For many this suite is considered one of the most luxurious way to go cruising. In my…

…centre is interesting, and you can get right up to the spectacular Nugget Falls. You can spend longer here and see more than on most of the ship tours, and it can be done for a few dollars. The cheapest way to get there is on the local Capital Transit Buses. It will cost about $3 each way at time of recording. It is an hour-long bus ride and a 30-minute / 1.5 mile walk from the stop to the visitors centre each way. So many instead use the Big Blu…

QUEEN VICTORIA: A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY: MY REVIEW OF THE BOOK

Cover of Queen Victoria: A Photographic Journey This book is part of the “a photographic journey” series by the two massive Cunard fans called Chris Frame and Rachelle Cross. I have previously reviewed other books by these two Cunard fans, and so was delighted to see that the Queen Victoria is now available as part of the series. This is a larger sized book than the QM2 book, and so the images of all aspects of the ship can be enjoyed even more….
