The centre-piece is a three deck  Grand Lobby with a large wall  sculpture of the ship. The ship’s  wood panelling is darker than that  on the slightly younger MS Queen  Elizabeth and gives the ship a more  traditional feel. Jay St John also “flew” around  the water between the landing  stage and dock wall, entertaining  the crowds and disembarking passengers. Just like Aquitania on her maiden voyage, Queen Victoria sailed  up the Mersey and turned in the  river off Birkenhead to come alongside Liverpool Cruise Terminal,  with hundreds of people lining the  waterfront to welcome her. The Cunard liner MS Queen Victoria created Mersey maritime history when she regally cruised into Liverpool.

Some have a theme, such as the Black and White Ball, a Cunard tradition that includes the classic 'Officers Gavotte' dance. Dress code for these formal nights translates as dinner jacket, tuxedo or dark suit with tie for men, and a range of men's formalwear is available to hire onboard for anyone who does not wish to bring his own. Many ladies go all out to impress by wearing floor-length gowns covered in sparkles or sequins; some wear fascinators in their hair, carry glittery evening bags and are adorned with plenty of look-at-me jewelery. Ninety percent of passengers adhere to the dress code on formal nights, which is as it should be; this ship is elegant and guests enjoy looking their best as part of that experience. In typically understated British style, the ship doesn't do glitzy or loud, so ambience overall is modest rather than striking.

Other Cunard deckplans

The topmost level of the theatre, Royal Arcade, Midships Lounge, and upper level of the library and formal dining room are all on 3 Deck, along with a wrap-around exterior promenade. The decks above these contain mostly passenger cabins until 9 Deck, on which are the Cunard Health Club and spa, Winter Garden lounge, Lido Restaurant, and two outdoor pools. On 10 Deck is the Commodore Club, Churchill Lounge (for smokers) and Yacht Club[31] nightclub. The Queen's Grill and Princess Grill, with their attached lounge and an open courtyard between, are on 11 Deck.

Service history

MS Queen Victoria (2007-built, last refurbished in 2023 May) is the second of all the four Cunard ships - together with MS Queen Elizabeth (sistership), RMS Queen Mary 2 (flagship) and the fleet's newest liner Queen Anne (2024). The other public rooms are all used by passengers on an equal basis. The Queen’s Grill and Princess Grill have attached lounges and an open courtyard.

It is argued that the Queen Victoria is neither an ocean liner nor flagship, and has a mass-produced hull and superstructure. It has been suggested that the Queen Victoria should have adopted the name of a previous small Cunard ship such as Mauretania, or Aquitania. The vessel will feature Cunard’s well known celebrated luxury Grills accommodation and dining with exclusive deck terraces and an al fresco dining option. Since December 2007, the Queen Victoria belongs to the fleet of the traditional Cunard Line. The ship, that was last rebuilt and renovated in 2017, is now a dynamic interpretation of the golden era of sea voyages in a modern guise.

During the ship's drydock in 2017 (May 5 - June 4, done by Fincantieri in Palermo Sicily Italy) were installed additional 43 Britannia Club staterooms, as well as single-occupancy cabins. Deck 2 hosts the mid-level of the Royal Court theatre, the casino, the Golden Lion Pub, the Queen’s Room ballroom, Todd’s English à la carte restaurant, the Chart Room bar, and the lower level of the wood-panelled library. The vessel does not hold the designation of RMS as with other Cunard ships, signifying that they carry Royal mail. The MS Queen Victoria carries the tradition of naming larger ships after British Queens following the RMS Queen Elizabeth II and both RMS Queen Marys. She is the second largest Cunard ship ever built next to the Queen Mary II.

The MS Queen Victoria is a new 90,000t cruise ship under construction for the Cunard Line (Carnival Corporation & plc) at the Fincantieri ship yard in Marghera, near Venice, Italy. This is the first vessel that Cunard have had constructed in Italy. The ship was floated out from the construction dry dock on 15 January 2007. On Cunard Line ships, you will experience a British and, above all, traditional cruising experience. On board you will find luxurious comfort, excellent gastronomy and first-class entertainment. While the RMS Queen Mary 2 is still mostly on the classic transatlantic passage, the two smaller sisters M/S Queen Elizabeth and M/S Queen Victoria sail different routes for every taste.

The Royal Health Club and Spa includes a beauty salon, a gymnasium with ocean view and aerobics area, Thermal Area- steam rooms and sauna, body treatment rooms, relaxation area, rasul chamber for Hammam-style steam and mud bathing. Princess Grill and Queens Grill do not have sittings - when they are open, you can dine any time you choose. A note for confirmation sitting and table number will be left in your stateroom when you board.

Most staff members are friendly though some are unresponsive while others are rather inexperienced. The majority either speak excellent English or have a good grasp of the language. Let go of the world, and let us transport you into pure, oceanic bliss – in our hands, your aches and pains will melt away. Delight in expansive sea views at this comfortable, Mediterranean-inspired lounge. Queen Victoria's drydocking in 2022 (May 2-19) was at Harland & Wolff shipyard (in Belfast, Northern Ireland). In 2023, the vessel was drydocked (at Navantia Cadiz) for general maintenance.

Maureen Ryan was chosen as the ship’s Godmother because she had served on all four Cunard Queen vessels. The vessel’s maiden voyage from Southampton (its home port) took place on 11 December 2007, taking in the Christmas markets of Northern Europe. This was followed by a short cruise to the Canary Islands, with the first world cruise taking 107 days. The £270m MS Queen Victoria is a 90,000t cruise ship constructed by Fincantieri Maritimo in Maghera near Venice (the first Cunarder to have been built in Italy).

The ship will have a length of 294m (964.5ft) and a beam of 41m (135ft) above the waterline and 36.6m (120ft) at the extreme of the bridge wings. The draft will be 8m (26ft 3in) and the height will be 62.5m (205ft) keel to funnel, which includes all of its 12 passenger decks. The 2017 refurbishment project cost Cunard around GBP 30 million (USD 40 million). The increased passenger capacity was accomplished by adding to the ship a whole new aft deck section. Wellness lovers and active athletes will find just the right balance of relaxation and activity in the spa and fitness area. Let yourself be pampered with a soothing massage or in the Rasul bath, push yourself to the limit in one of the most modern fitness clubs at sea - with stunning sea views, or take part in one of the aerobics or Pilates classes.
