QUEEN VICTORIA
PHOTO TOUR AND
COMMENTARY
SHOPS, CHILDREN'S
AREAS, and OTHER
PUBLIC AREAS
The ship's Library has 6,000 volumes and covers two decks
connected by a spiral staircase (above left). The upper level
features a balcony and a stained glass ceiling
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).
Above left: The Internet Café. Above right: Cunard Connexions where passengers can learn about computers and
other enrichment topics.
In the Alcove (below left), guests can work on a giant jig saw puzzle. Nearby is the Card Room (below right), which
is used for a number of purposes but which is primarily a spot for playing bridge and other card games.
QUEEN VICTORIA has facilities for young children
as well as for teenagers. At left are computers for
young passengers while below is a lounge for
teenagers.

Included in the shopping area is the Art Gallery, which
offers works of art for sale (above). Nearby is the Book
Shop, which features Cunard and maritime-related books,
prints and posters.
Queen Victoria has a team of professional photographers
who take pictures in the ports of call and portraits on
board. They also make a video of each voyage. Their
photos as well as cameras and camera accessories are
available in the Images Photo Gallery.
