Queen Victoria Panama Canal Cruise
15 nights cruise from New York to San Francisco
January 12–27, 2010
Cunard Queen Victoria
Pied Piper proudly presents...
A Panama Canal Cruise on the brand new Queen Victoria!
A Fifteen Night Sailing from New York City to San Francisco. Departs January 12, 2010. Passengers may also embark in Ft. Lauderdale for a twelve day sailing (part of Queen Victoria 2010 World Cruise!). A great way to experience this great new ocean liner and explore wonderful ports of call. Be among the first to sail on the newest ocean liner to be built for the Cunard fleet! A worthy successor to the ocean liners of the 20th century, the Queen Victoria will be one of the most exciting vessels to sail the seas!
To set eyes on her sleek outline, with her distinctive black and red livery, is to recognise her instantly as the latest Classic Cunarder, a unique marriage of heritage and innovation.
As one of the first guests ever to embark, you will encounter the dramatic three-tier Grand Lobby, whose magnificent staircase and eye-catching artwork offers a lavish taste of life aboard. Walk around the ship and you'll see elaborate chandeliers adorn the Queens Room double height ceiling to enhance its calm grandeur. The Winter Garden is all light and relaxation, very much colonial in tone, with decked floors and leafy foliage - its glass roof even opens to the warm breeze.
Elegant and stylish, every public room will create a unique ambience where our renowned White Star Service™ continue to surpass expectations.
New York, USA
See the bright lights of the Big Apple, international mecca and melting pot, with expensive brownstones, colourful neighbourhoods, great museums and ambling parks. Some come just for the shopping: there's Bloomingdale's on Lex, Tiffany's on Fifth, Barneys and the unique boutiques along Madison. Or head downtown and explore the trendy shops of SoHo.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Explore the 'Venice of America', with its lacework of over 165 miles of canals and yachts as huge as the mansions they're moored at. Stroll along the tree-lined Las Olas, and wander into its upscale boutiques and wonderful restaurants. Enjoy the shops and cafés of Riverwalk, close to the Arts and Science District.
Georgetown, Grand Cayman
There's a good museum here, some fine old colonial buildings plus a sprinkling of cigar and gemstone shops to browse. But the real stars here are in plain view – crystal clear Cayman Island Waters, fine sand beaches, and brilliant birds. Seven Mile Beach - One of the most impressive beaches in the Caribbean with sand stretching as far as the eye can see.
Cartagena, Colombia
Charming, narrow streets host quaint colonial buildings, while the magnificent cathedral and palace dominate the city. Ciudad Amurallada - The walled old town brimming with colonial history, brightly painted facades, charming balconies and delightful plazas awash with flowers. Puerta del Reloj - It is the symbol of Cartagena, and also represents the country. It is located on the Blas de Renzo Avenue. This central door is used to communicate the city to Getsemaní village.
Panama Canal (Cruising)
"The land of the divided, the world united." It's hard to imagine a more fitting motto for what in no uncertain terms irrevocably changed the Western Hemisphere forever. For fifty miles the canal transects the exotic emerald jungles of Panama and gives one an appreciation of what a Herculean task it was to build this waterway before the advent of computers and giant earth movers.
Acapulco, Mexico
Join the sun worshippers along Acapulco's Crescent Bay. This one-time vacation mecca for Hollywood royalty has been ranked a world-class resort for over a quarter of a century. Watch the famous cliff divers at La Quebrada, and then head for the scenic point of Las Brisas. This spectacular bay can also be admired on an excursion to a private location high in the hills. During the Colonial Era, Spanish galleons sailed in and out of Acapulco, trading millions of silver pesos for the silk, porcelain, spices and ivory of the Orient.
San Francisco, California
When John Fremont sailed into San Francisco in 1846, he found no famous bridge, but a golden light reflecting off the high cliffs that flank the bay's only entrance. He named it Golden Gate and its glowing welcome still creates a striking first impression. Fall under the spell of Chinatown's intense bustle, wispy bay mists, roller-coaster streets and clunking cable cars, the only mobile national monuments in the entire US.

Endless Potential for Enjoyment
In warm weather, 9 deck is the place to be with a choice of two inviting swimming pools. Pampering is par of the course too, with four whirlpools and a range of indulgent treatments in the Cunard Royal Spa & Fitness Centre. For relaxation of the mind, browse an array of titles in the library where rich wood panelling, stained glass and a spiral staircase create a haven of tranquility.
For retail therapy, stroll through The Royal Arcade on 3 deck, where designer names reside in porticoes adorned with fabulous wrought iron flourishes. Then retreat to the magnificent Winter Garden adjacent to the main pool, sipping fresh fruit juice, the retractable roof lets you feel the warmth of the sun on your face without stepping outside.
Here the Exceptional is to be Expected
Queen Victoria's pleasurable diversions and distractions ensure you are as thoroughly entertained and entirely relaxed as you would wish to be. It's simply a question of matching your mood to the many pleasures in front of you.
If pampering is your priority, give yourself over to rejuvenating spa therapies and revitalising beauty treatments in the Cunard Royal Spa & Fitness Centre. When discovery calls, compare regional subtleties in wine-tasting classes in the Midships Lounge or expand your expertise with an engaging guest speaker at ConneXions™. In sunny climes, saunter outdoors onto 10,000 square feet of glorious open deck. Challenge yourself to a length or two of the outdoor pool before tea. Or dive into an enthralling novel - picked from the Library's 6,000 titles.
Later the curtain rises on sparkling entertainment. The splendid Royal Court Theatre seats 830 and has the first private boxes at sea. Then waltz on the beautifully crafted dance floor beneath the Queens Room's glittering chandeliers.
The Warmest Welcome
On Queen Victoria, over two thirds of the staterooms have private balconies to catch the sea breeze. Upholding the classic tradition at sea, your choice of accommodation is matched to your dining style. Luxuriate in sumptuous Queens Grill and Princess Grill suites with marble bathrooms and butler service in the highest categories.
