Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria is a Vista-class cruise ship operated by Cunard Line and named after the former British monarch Queen Victoria. Though not a traditional ocean liner with heavy hull plating throughout, the ship features a reinforced bow designed for transatlantic crossings and higher freeboard than typical contemporary cruise ships. Built by Fincantieri, Queen Victoria was constructed using eighty prefabricated steel blocks, each weighing 325 tons, and entered service following her christening by Maureen Ryan, a Cunard employee who has served on all four Cunard Queens.
