"Built by Fincantieri and introduced into service in late 2007, Queen Victoria's reign is still quite young. She has been welcomed with open arms by the cruising public and is a floating celebrity with royal engagements, tandem Atlantic crossings and Gala World Cruises. The first in a new breed of Cunard ships, her design - based on the Vista Class hull of Carnival Corporation - is strengthened and enhanced to give her the ability to cross the North Atlantic Ocean. This hybrid represents a new era for the 170-year-old Cunard Line, introducing one of the most luxurious ships to carry the Golden Lion. Queen Victoria: A Photographic Journey takes the reader on the journey of a lifetime through the public rooms of this stately ship. From her exquisite Grand Lobby to her Royal Court Theatre, each room is described in light narrative with complementing photographs, allowing the reader to enjoy an on-board experience from the comfort of their living room! Written by two passionate ocean liner and cruise fans, this book is beautifully illustrated with over 200 colour photographs, creating a lovely lasting memento of Cunard's Queen Victoria."--Provided by the publisher.
