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 (above 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).
Above left: The Internet Cafe. Above right: Cunard
Connexions where passengers can learn about computers
and other enrichment topics.
The Admiral's Lounge (left) and the Card Room (below)
are multi-purpose rooms.
Churchill's Cigar Lounge
includes a traditional lounge in
which to smoke a cigar (left)
and a large humidor (right).
QUEEN VICTORIA has facilities for young children
as well as for teenagers. At left are computers for
young passengers while at right is a lounge for
teenagers.
