Queen Victoria Sets Sail on European Voyages in 2008

2008 will mark an exciting year on the Cunard calendar. For the first time in history, three Cunard Queens will be in service simultaneously and the newest, Queen Victoria, will embark on 21 voyages that will include maiden calls around the world.

Queen Victoria’s 2008 program is highlighted by Cunard’s return to Scandinavia and Russia, as well as eight different Mediterranean itineraries. The schedule also features visits to Norway, the Canary Islands and the Caribbean on itineraries of four to 22 days.

Among the highlights are three 14-day Russian Rendezvous itineraries circling the Baltic Sea and featuring two full days in St. Petersburg, Russia; a full range of Mediterranean ports featuring Egypt and the Greek Isles, and the ports of the Eastern and Western Mediterranean including Monte Carlo, Florence and Istanbul, and a 22-day Caribbean Holiday voyage.

These voyages follow Queen Victoria’s 106-night Maiden World Cruise and will be detailed in Cunard’s 2008 Voyages brochure to be published in mid-April.
