The interior construction process aboard Cunard's Queen Victoria is continuing to move forward at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy.These photos show the ongoing construction in the Queen's Room.
Valencia, CA - September 19, 2007 - Piece by piece, the detail of Cunard Line's Queen Victoria continues to evolve revealing her magnificent public spaces. The ship's much-anticipated Queens Room - where guests will dance the night away to the sounds of a live orchestra is seeing a near complete dance floor. It's also the setting for Cunard's signature white-gloved afternoon English tea service. Other hallmark Cunard activities to take place here include formal balls, the traditional Captain's cocktail parties and Cunard World Club events.
The dramatic double-height Queens Room, a loggia-style venue, is reminiscent of a grand ballroom in a large country house, with cantilevered balconies overlooking the ballroom paying homage to the line's iconic and much-loved QE2. The room's stunning ceilings feature a pair of gleaming crystal chandeliers as well as specially commissioned murals - by British artists - reinforcing the line's British heritage.Stay tuned for additional previews of Queen Victoria's progress. Queen Victoria will enter service on December 11, 2007.
