About QV

Cunard Line's newest liner, Queen Victoria, has recently entered service as Cunard's 5th Queen. Unlike earlier Cunard Queen's - QV is not a traditional liner - however she does have a reinforced bow allowing her to participate in irregular trans-Atlantic crossings. 

QV was built by Fincantieri, Italy at a cost of €390 million and is currently the second largest ship built in Cunard's long history.

Below are some interesting statistics about this new Queen.
