Cunard has revealed plans for an extensive transformation of Queen Victoria, with the elegant ship set to emerge from dry dock later this year.
The liner will feature refreshed signature spaces including Cunard Grills suites and the introduction of The Pavilion Wellness Café.
The 2,000-guest ship will undergo a three-week refit in Rotterdam, unveiling a refreshed Grand Lobby and reimagined Queens Room.
She will be in dry dock from October through November, returning to service ready to welcome guests on board for the remainder of her 2026 voyages and 2027 program.
Eight additional Britannia staterooms will also be introduced, including three from a new premium category, Britannia Deluxe Oceanview, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows for panoramic ocean views.
The new staterooms are already on sale for voyages sailing from November 11.
Reflecting the growing importance of wellness to today’s luxury traveller, Queen Victoria will become the third Queen in the Cunard fleet to introduce The Pavilion Wellness Café, following its highly successful launch on Queen Anne in 2024 and introduction on Queen Elizabeth in 2025.
This wellness-focused venue will serve breakfast, lunch and daytime dining with a menu celebrating plant-based cuisine alongside sustainably sourced meat, fish and dairy.
“Queen Victoria has always held a special place in the hearts of our guests, celebrated for her distinctive character, intimate spaces and unmistakable sense of British elegance,” said Katie McAlister, President of Cunard.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to refine the experiences and spaces she offers, with every decision approached with deep respect for the heritage and charm that make her who she is.”
