Queen Victoria was the first in a new breed of Cunard Ships: her design is enhanced to give her the ability to cross the North Atlantic. Introduced to service in 2007, Queen Victoria’s reign is young; however, she has had a notable career with royal engagements, tandem Atlantic crossings and Gala-World Cruises where she has been welcomed with open arms. Illustrated with stunning colour photographs taken by the authors from every area of the ship, and fully updated after the extensive 2017 refit, this book provides a lasting memento of a voyage aboard Cunard’s stately monarch. Chris Frame and Rachelle Cross , maritime historians and authors, collaborate to bring the captivating world of ocean liners and maritime heritage to life. Frame, renowned for his expertise on passenger ships, blends meticulously researched historical accounts with engaging storytelling, while Cross, with her passion for maritime history, adds depth and nuance to their narratives. Together, they offer a rich tapestry of maritime stories, from the golden age of ocean travel to the enduring allure of cruising, making history accessible and enthralling for a wide audience.
