So there you have it, Queen Victoria in all her glory...roll on next year when she will be gracing our oceans

Looks to be a wonderful ship!

She's more traditional in many ways from the recent newbuilds, which is a good thing cos I still think that Carnival misjudged things badly when they introduced QM2. Cunard has always, since the late 19th century, had ships judged by their quality of build and design and not their quantity of passengers carried. Queen Victoria was sposed to have been the name for the original Queen Mary, its refreshing that the name will be gracing such a stunning and beautifully crafted traditional liner. JMO
