It is a traditional ship restaurant which along with the Grills is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Britannia is set-seating for dinner (from 6,00p.m. to 8,30p.m.) and open-seating for lunch and breakfast. It is Cunard’s tradition, passengers who dine at the Grills have assigned tables for dinner, lunch, breakfast and can also dine during restaurants’ opening hours at any time. Theoretically, MS Queen Victoria is a classless ship, but passengers are actually separated (like on all Cunard liners) as their onboard dining locations are according to their cabin's category/cruise fares paid. Britannia Restaurant is for regular cabins, Princess Grill - for junior suites, and the Queen’s Grill is for deluxe suites. The so-called Grill Passengers (dining in Queen’s and Princess Grill) have two private areas on Decks 10 and 11- Grills Terraces.

These harked back to the interiors of the original superliner RMS Queen Mary (I) of 1936 and have proved popular with passengers and set Cunard ships apart from trendier cruise liners. There are other restaurants such as the Todd English (Mediterranean cuisine) on deck 2, the Café Corinthia on deck 2, and the hamburger and salad bar on deck 9 for a change to the passengers’ dining experience. The excellent cuisine is one of the absolute highlights of every Cunard cruise and this tradition is also continued on the Queen Victoria. Queens Grill and Princess Grill guests dine in the luxurious restaurants of the same name. Likewise the guests of the new Britannia category have seperate access to the the new Britannia Club restaurant that is available after the last modernization.

The itinerary also includes ports of call in Australia and Southeast Asia before arriving in the Far East, where the Queen Victoria docks in Hong Kong for an overnight stay. The ship will have three bow thrusters each absorbing a maximum power of 2.2MW. The Queen Victoria will have one pair of folding fin stabilisers and each fin will have an area of 20m². The first section of Queen Victoria’s keel was lifted into position in May 2006.
Fellow Passengers
Queen Victoria single cabins (added on Deck 2 during drydock 2015 refurbishment) are designed specifically for solo travellers. Each of these accommodations (8 outside and 1 inside) can be booked with single-occupancy rates. The ship's single staterooms are furnished with oversized single beds (width 4 ft / 120 cm), en suite bathroom (WC-shower), wardrobe (2-door, with 3 drawers). The Queen Victoria passengers it is expected will tend to be the discerning 50+ of British and American origin. With all of the cabins under double occupancy, the ship is able to provide a space ratio of 44.7t per passenger and a crew to passenger ratio of one for every 1.6 passengers. At full capacity the space ratio is 40t per passenger and the crew ratio is one to 1.8 passengers.
The principal venues for onboard entertainment are the Queens Room and the Royal Court Theatre. The Royal Court Theatre, which is three-deck-high, is in traditional style with red velvet and has the design of a classic opera house. It is the venue for lectures, concerts and large-screen movies, too. The featured twenty private boxes can be booked for shows at $50 per couple. This includes champagne and finger sandwiches and bubbly in the box.
Do not expect even the slightest hint of neon or glitz nor -- perish the thought -- rock climbing walls or bumper cars. Luxurious furnishings and eye-catching features lend an air of extravagance to the onboard atmosphere with muted colors and lots of dark wood. Architecture is in keeping with the ambiance of Cunard ocean liners of times past while the interior design offers the contemporary elegance of a modern luxury hotel. The original Queen Victoria keel (2003) had been destined to be a Holland America ship but was transferred to the Cunard ship by Carnival. Thus the Queen Victoria is 5,000t heavier and 11m longer than a normal Vista Class vessel and has a passenger capacity of over 2,000. The ship has 12 passenger decks, with the majority of its public rooms arranged along Deck 2 and Deck 3.
Cdre Rynd has brought all three Cunard Queen liners - including the world’s largest ocean liner Queen Mary 2 - into Liverpool. Queen Victoria is fully booked, carrying 2,014 passengers, mainly from the US and UK, on a round-Britain cruise from Southampton. The liner had arrived from Greenock, on the Firth of Clyde, Scotland. Queen Victoria is in Liverpool to mark the centenary of Aquitania, one of the most successful ocean liners of all time. All grades Suite accommodations have floor-ceiling sliding doors, large-size bedroom (king bed /convertible), bathroom (separate whirlpool bathtub, shower), living area (sofa, table, chairs, bar). In addition, Grand Suites (Q1) have a dining room, and Master Suites (Q2) have a dining area.
To sum up, Queen Victoria is a comfortable, graceful cruise ship best suited to couples, single travelers and mature cruisers. Like the other Cunarders, Queen Victoria operates a class system in which the cabin grade you choose dictates where you eat. This means for those who want to splash the cash, the Queens Grill and Princess Grill provide top notch accommodations and more upmarket dining options.
A variety of delicious dishes from fine ingredients is the reason why Cunard cuisine is respected. Another alternative dining spot is the Todd English Restaurant, with its classic English dining salon and Mediterranean cuisine served. The 2007-built MS Queen Victoria cruise ship is of the same design as MS Queen Elizabeth (2010) and has as fleetmates the Cunard liners RMS Queen Mary 2 (2004) and the fleet's newest boat (2024-built) Queen Anne. Queen Victoria’s Royal Court Theatre was the first to have private boxes, with six either side of the stage. Other familiar company features are the Golden Lion Pub and the Queen's Room for balls and afternoon tea featuring that great delicacy the Cunard scone.
Loyal followers also totally approve of the fact that the cruise line employs a stricter dress code than that followed on other mainstream lines. On Queen Victoria's 21 December 2007 voyage, 122 guests and 11 crew on board contracted norovirus.[35] It was officially attributed to a guest who had already contracted the virus prior to boarding the ship. During drydock refurbishment 2017 (May 5 through June 4, done by Fincantieri in Palermo Sicily Italy) were installed additional 43x Britannia Club staterooms, as well as single-occupancy cabins. According to Cunard Line, the decision was based on passenger demand. Queen Victoria's public rooms follow the trend of the famous QE2’s later refits which were done in a retrospective art deco ocean liner style.
