It isn’t only your body that you can nurture on board Queen Victoria. On every voyage, you’ll find a special line-up of guest speakers, ready to impart their knowledge and wisdom with you. From astronauts to journalists, chefs to historians, there’s always someone exciting to regale you with stories of their life’s work. You can also learn more about the featured artists on your voyage by attending talks hosted by our art team. Details of these, and many more seminars, are published each day in your Daily Programme.

From sun decks to sports courts, jogging laps and deck games, a cruise on Queen Victoria opens the door to embrace the outdoors. Keep a watchful eye for dolphins or other ships as you leisurely stroll her Promenade Deck or find a shady spot by the pool to lose yourself in an unputdownable book. Just being beside the sea is enough to make you feel calmer, lift your mood, and help you to sleep more soundly at night. And, if your stateroom has a balcony, you can even indulge in a drop of Vitamin Sea that’s uniquely yours.

A cruise on Queen Victoria is also the perfect opportunity to brush up on a skill or try your hand at something new. You’ll find all manner of activities to dip your toe into on board, from foil fencing to cocktail-making. You could master a faultless rumba with our Royal Court Theatre Company dancers or work out your vocal chords as part of your ship’s choir. For a highly therapeutic pastime, why not join one of Queen Victoria’s watercolour art classes? Hosted by a resident artist on board, these hands-on workshops offer you a chance to flex your creative side in the company of an intimate group of your fellow guests.
