Queen Victoria will be a classically-styled Cunard queen, offering the very best of our heritage, along with the luxury and modern-day comforts.

We spent longer than we had planned in Fort Lauderdale, which meant that the itinerary has had to be changed, and we do regret that sincerely and clearly we do recognize there's been a lot of disruption.

Our guests, when they arrive on board, they are going to see that. When they depart, they are going to see it, so there is no detraction for the arrival or departure here coming into Brooklyn.

Cunard has the unique distinction of having the only true liners in the industry, and we're proud to be able to expand this heritage with our new Queen Victoria. This vessel will offer our guests the classic Cunard luxury and experience they have come to expect while at the same time providing the most up-to-date amenities and facilities, along with a few impressive innovations.

The response has been remarkable.
