The Queens Room (above) is a multi-purpose room that is used for activities, afternoon tea,
receptions and for evening balls and dancing. It was inspired by a room in Queen Victoria's
home Osbourne House and contains art work by the Queen Empress and her consort.
The ship's library has 6,000 volumes and covers two decks connected by a spiral staircase (below
left). The upper level features a balcony and a stained glass ceiling (below right).
QUEEN VICTORIA has an extensive shopping area.
However, it is not set up as a discount department
store designed to move merchandise. Rather, inspired
by the Burlington Arcade and the Royal Arcade in
London, the stores are separated into little ships along
a Victorian style mall. Connecting the upper and
lower levels is a dark wood staircase that sweeps
around a clock made for the ship by the company that
made the clock in the tower with Big Ben overlooking
the Houses of Parliament. (Big Ben is actually a bell in
the tower, not the clock as is often assumed).
