MUMBAI: After a successful exhibition of yatches and boats, Mumbai will soon be hosting the second largest luxury cruise ship `Queen Victoria' for a fortnight.
The 90,000 tonne palace on water, which was inaugurated by Duchess of York and Prince Charle's wife Camilla, is on its maiden world tour and will dock in Mumbai on March 28.
The liner is replacing the popular "Queen Elizabeth 2" ship in the stable of the 168-year-old Cunard Line, which also owns one more luxury ship "Queen Mary 2".
"Queen Victoria" will reach Chennai on March 23 and sail towards Kochi after which it will reach Mumbai on March 28.
Managing Director of Cunard Line Carol Marlow said the ship offers an unique blend of ocean travel of the old days along with modern facilities like the second largest floating library, a theatre and live orchestra.
Apart from it, the ship also boasts of rooms offering a British charm, double and triple height spaces, classical motifs.
The high point of the ship's architecture is the grand lobby, the centre of onboard activity. The lobby opens into public areas like the deck, banquet halls and luxury cabins.
On the conclusion of the world tour, the liner will start a Baltic and Scandinavian cruise in May and sail into the Mediterranean in August this year.
