Inside Cunard's 'Queen Victoria' as She Sails the Norwegian Fjords

quote:

She's 90,000 gross registered tons, 964.5' long, goes as fast as 23.7 knots and up to 3,003 people can call her their temporary home at any given time, but these numbers mean nothing until you're onboard, feeling Cunard Line's massive Queen Victoria smoothly maneuver around lush islands in the Norwegian Fjords.
