10th Jan 2027 | 111 nights | Cunard Grills | Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria combines timeless elegance with a warm, inviting atmosphere, offering a classic Cunard experience with a slightly more intimate feel than her sister ships. Her graceful design and art deco touches recall the golden age of ocean travel. At the heart of her luxury offering is the Cunard Grills experience — a sanctuary of sophistication reserved for guests in Princess Grill and Queens Grill suites. With exclusive dining, private lounges, and exceptional service, the Grills offer a more personalised and elevated way to enjoy life at sea.
Queen Victoria offers a wide range of refined pursuits, from theatre performances and classical concerts to art classes, guest speakers and traditional deck games. Guests can spend the afternoon enjoying white-gloved afternoon tea in the Queens Room or browsing the extensive library. For Grills guests, the experience is enhanced with access to private areas such as the Grills Lounge and Grills Terrace — serene spaces perfect for unwinding with a book or drink in hand, all while enjoying attentive, unobtrusive service.
Dining aboard Queen Victoria is always a highlight, but the experience is truly elevated within the Grills restaurants. Queens Grill guests enjoy flexible dining with bespoke menus, including the option to order off-menu dishes created to personal taste. Princess Grill guests dine in their own refined restaurant, where beautifully presented cuisine is served in a calm, intimate setting. Both restaurants offer exceptional service, expertly curated wine lists, and a focus on fine British and international flavours — turning each meal into a special occasion.
Grill Suites on Queen Victoria are the finest accommodation available on board. Princess Grill suites are spacious and elegantly appointed, with a private balcony, generous seating area, and priority services. Queens Grill suites offer even more space, along with luxuries such as a marble bathroom, walk-in wardrobe, and personal butler service. Guests in both Grill categories enjoy exclusive benefits including access to the Grills Lounge and Grills Terrace, daily canapés, priority embarkation, and in-suite dining — all designed to provide the ultimate in comfort and privacy.

Grill Suite guests on Cunard tend to be well-travelled, discerning individuals, often over the age of 55, who appreciate exclusivity, fine dining, and personalised service. Many are world cruisers occupying the top suites, including a number of extremely wealthy travellers and the occasional celebrity, particularly in Queens Grill. While most are couples, solo travellers are also well catered for, and Cunard’s strong LGBTQ-friendly reputation means same-gender couples are a common and welcomed presence.
Guests staying in Cunard’s Princess and Queens Grill suites generally enjoy the elegance and tradition the line is known for, particularly on Gala Evenings where black tie is encouraged and many choose to embrace the occasion with formalwear. That said, there’s no strict obligation to dress up if that’s not your preference. While the Grills restaurants and lounges do maintain a smart dress code—especially on Gala nights—those who prefer a more relaxed style can still dine in alternative venues like the buffet and enjoy the evening in more casual settings. Cunard’s Grills experience is about comfort and personal choice as much as it is about classic refinement.
Not everything is included on a Cunard Grills cruise, but guests in Princess and Queens Grill suites do enjoy a number of elevated inclusions compared to standard staterooms. Dining in the exclusive Grills restaurants, access to the Grills Lounge and Terrace, priority embarkation, and concierge service are all part of the experience. Queens Grill guests also receive added extras such as butler service, pre-dinner canapés, and a complimentary mini-bar stocked with wine, spirits, and soft drinks. However, additional charges still apply for things like Wi-Fi, shore excursions, spa treatments, alcoholic drinks outside of the suite, specialty coffee, and crew gratuities. While many premium touches are included in the Grills experience, it’s best to view it as a higher tier of comfort and service rather than an all-inclusive package.
On sea days, Cunard's ships are famous for its guest speaker program, which features big names from the arts, politics and science scenes. Otherwise, popular activities are pretty traditional -- bridge, dance classes, bingo and pub quizzes in the Golden Lion Pub. There are watercolour painting classes, wine tasting sessions, flower arranging, table tennis and, in the evenings, karaoke. Afternoon tea is a daily ritual rarely missed by most passengers. On Queen Mary 2 the planetarium shows are quite popular as well.
