Activities on Queen Victoria
Life on board Queen Victoria offers a rich mix of activities and experiences designed to suit every mood. Whether you prefer staying active, indulging in relaxation, discovering new interests, or enjoying live entertainment, each day invites you to shape your own perfect balance.
From deck games to exercise classes, Queen Victoria offers a wide range of ways to stay active at sea. Enjoy a friendly game of paddle tennis with sweeping ocean views, or take part in classic deck games such as Quoits at a relaxed pace.
Inside the fitness centre, modern cardio and strength-training equipment support workouts of all levels. You can also book personal training sessions with qualified instructors or join group exercise classes, from gentle stretching to energetic cycling sessions, all designed to keep you moving in a way that suits you.
A walk or jog around the Promenade Deck on Deck 3 is a simple pleasure enjoyed by many guests each day. Three laps cover just under a mile, making it easy to fit into your routine.
As you circle the ship, the views continually change. Spot dolphins in the distance, watch other vessels pass by, or simply enjoy the rhythm of the sea as you find your own comfortable pace.
For moments of pure relaxation, Mareel Wellness & Beauty offers a calming escape. Inspired by the restorative power of the ocean, this spa and salon is dedicated to helping you unwind both physically and mentally.
Choose from an extensive menu of treatments, including soothing massages, revitalising facials, exfoliating body scrubs, and advanced aesthetic therapies, each designed to leave you feeling refreshed and renewed.
Experienced practitioners use modern techniques and technologies to support your wellbeing goals, whether that’s easing tension, improving skin vitality, or simply enjoying time dedicated to yourself.
Before or after your treatment, relax further in the hydrotherapy pool, sauna, or steam room, or visit the salon for a manicure, haircut, or styling session to complete your experience.
Sea days are an ideal time to explore new interests or deepen existing passions. Throughout your voyage, you can take part in creative workshops such as watercolour painting, photography sessions, and cocktail-making classes.
Food and wine enthusiasts may enjoy Lunch and Learn experiences hosted by the ship’s sommelier, while art lovers can attend engaging talks led by the Clarendon Gallery team.
Insightful talks add another layer of discovery to life on board. These presentations explore topics ranging from history and science to journalism and sport, each led by experts in their fields.
For a closer look at how the ship operates, Behind-the-Scenes tours offer access to areas normally reserved for crew, including galleys and the Bridge. These limited-capacity tours are available on voyages of seven nights or more.
Shopping on board is a pleasure in itself, with the Royal Arcade on Deck 3 offering a refined selection of fashion, jewellery, cosmetics, and electronics. Many items are exclusive to Cunard, making them ideal holiday keepsakes.
You might find the perfect accessory for Gala Evening, a practical travel essential, or a thoughtful gift to take home.
Cunard-branded merchandise provides another opportunity to remember your voyage, with items ranging from clothing and accessories to collectible keepsakes.
The fine jewellery boutique showcases elegant watches and decorative pieces, while regular promotions and special offers add extra interest. Details of daily savings can be found in your Daily Programme.
Entertainment on Queen Victoria continues from day into night, all included in your fare. Enjoy theatrical productions in the Royal Court Theatre, live piano music in the Commodore Club, and lively silent discos in the Queens Room.
Music Nights in the Queens Room bring themed evenings of live vocals and full-band performances, creating a vibrant atmosphere that many guests look forward to throughout their voyage.
For lighter-hearted evenings, karaoke at the Yacht Club offers plenty of laughs and memorable performances. Later, the venue transforms into a late-night dance spot with a resident DJ taking requests.
The Golden Lion pub remains a favourite throughout the day and evening, serving classic British dishes at lunchtime, hosting quizzes and acoustic music, and screening live sports. It’s a welcoming place to relax and enjoy the sociable side of life on board.
