Cunard has unveiled the first images of its refurbished Queen Victoria following a three-week dry dock transformation at Damen Shiprepair in Rotterdam. The 2,000-guest luxury vessel returned to service this week with modernised signature venues, expanded accommodation options and a new wellness-focused dining concept. The Queens Room has been redesigned with new furnishings, curtains and carpeting featuring butterfly motifs and patterns inspired by royal palace gardens and Queen Victoria’s orange blossom wedding jewellery.
The triple-height Grand Lobby has received a full refresh with regal decor details and red carpeting designed to preserve the ship’s classic character. The Pavilion Wellness Café first seen on sister ships Queen Anne and Queen Elizabeth serves plant-based dishes alongside sustainably sourced meat, fish and dairy. Both the Princess Grill and Queens Grill suites and restaurants feature updated furnishings while the Grill Suites Lounge and lift lobby draw inspiration from Queen Victoria’s favourite jewels.
Eight new staterooms have been added to the ship’s inventory. Three of these belong to a new Britannia Deluxe Oceanview category equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows. Following her debut in Southampton for a 16-night voyage to Portugal, Spain and Morocco Queen Victoria is preparing for her upcoming schedule. She will embark on a 109-night World Voyage on 10 January 2027 visiting 32 ports including maiden calls to Dakar and Durban.
