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
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).
