Cunard continues to modernize its fleet.

After a scheduled dry-dock from October 17 to November 5, 2026 at Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam, the Queen Victoria will return to the sea with spaces entirely revised.

The company announces in particular a redesigned Grand Lobby, a renovated Queens Room — the iconic venue for Afternoon Tea, concerts and gala evenings — as well as a complete reconfiguration of the Queens Grill Suites and Princess Grill Suites, with new furniture and more contemporary finishes.

The accommodation offer will also be strengthened with eight new Britannia cabins, including three Britannia Deluxe Oceanview cabins, a new category fitted with wide panoramic windows providing a sweeping view of the ocean.

These cabins are being marketed for departures starting November 11, 2026.


Cruises resume on November 7, 2026

On the dining side, the Pavilion Wellness Café will make its debut aboard.

Already present on the Queen Anne and Queen Elizabeth, this concept emphasizes wellness-oriented cuisine, prioritizing plant-based products while also offering meats, fish and dairy products sourced from organic farming.

Once renovated, the liner will resume its cruises as of November 7, 2026, before supporting its 2027 itineraries across the Mediterranean, the Norwegian fjords, the Canary Islands and other European destinations.

« We are excited to introduce the French public to the Queen Victoria in her new version. The blend of Cunard’s iconic craftsmanship, a fully renovated vessel and itineraries carefully crafted across Europe make this experience a benchmark for sea holidays marked by elegance and escape » notes Emmanuel Joly, director of Cruisepro, Cunard’s general agent in France.
