VALENCIA, Calif., April 25, 2017 /CNW/ -- Following the recent
Cunard announcement revealing Queen
Victoria's $40 million refit
in May, the luxury cruise line is unveiling the anticipated digital
renderings showcasing new and refreshed features.
Scheduled for completion in June, just in time for summer, some
of the many highlights include a new exquisite Lido Sun Deck for
sun seekers as well as a stunning Winter
Garden. The cruise line also offers an inside look at the
Britannia Club Staterooms, Britannia Club Restaurant and five new
luxurious Penthouse Suites.
"Queen Victoria's refit will not
only offer our guests an additional 43 Britannia Club staterooms
and a dedicated restaurant, but it will also enhance the guest
experience in already-beloved spaces like the Lido Sun Deck,
Winter Garden and pre-existing
staterooms onboard," said Joshua
Leibowitz, senior vice president, Cunard North America. "We've responded to our
guests' insights to broaden our onboard offering by adding new bar
concepts and large flat-screen TVs in all staterooms. The
distinctively Cunard experience will continue with design
inspiration from previous ships to offer a modern travel experience
that guests can only experience on Cunard."
The ship will be taken out of service on May 5, 2017 to undergo the refit at the
Fincantieri Shipyard in Palermo,
Italy and is scheduled for
completion on June 4, 2017.
Queen Victoria, will then return to
Southampton before embarking on
its maiden four night voyage, visiting Amsterdam, Zeebrugge (Bruges), before
returning to Southampton.
More details on Queen Victoria's
refurbishment will follow over the coming months.
