This Episode of the Ritzy Travel Guide Cruise Diary we take you aboard the Cunard Queen Victoria. Filmed in August 2026, we show you what it's really really like to sail on one of Cunard Line’s most iconic ships today? Would you enjoy a full traditional British ocean liner experience? Following news from Cunard that the Queen Anne will transfer from Cunard to P&O in 2029, it become seven more vital that the existing three Cunard ships, the Queen Mary 2 (QM2), The Queen Elizabeth, and the Queen Victoria appeal to their core market. We experience the famous Cunard Gala Night, white glove afternoon tea in the Queens Room, live ballroom swing music, daily sea day life, and the grand interiors of this classic vessel. There is a fascinating twist to this journey. How does sailing Cunard in 2026 compare to the golden age of ocean travel in the 1950s? Using rare historical archive footage spliced directly alongside our modern voyage, we compare the traditions, vintage elegance, formal standards, and deck life to discover whether authentic ocean liner travel still exists or if modern cruising has left it behind. This is a cinematic travel diary focusing on the voyage, atmosphere, and ports rather than a standard checklist. We also show you our ports of call. This cruise started in Civitavecchia outside Rome, and we visit Corfu in Greece. In part two we show you Kotor in Montenegro, and Split in Croatia, before finishing in Trieste in Italy Our full ship tour is also available, and you can see that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfPBXHiJX6A Our tour in Corfu was arranged through Shore Excursions Group, and you can visit them here: https://www.shoreexcursionsgroup.com/?id=1812860 Hi, welcome to Ritzy Travel Guide, my name is Bill, we are here bringing you our latest travel reviews from around the globe!
