Creator's Key Takeaways

We loved it last year, didn't we? And we can't wait. We're so happy to be back.

We felt represented reasonable value given that shorter cruises often work out deer per night than longer ones.

We're most pleased with this room. It's very nice. It's exactly the same as what we had before.

I absolutely love it. And this is lovely. Look at us. Cheers everybody.

Cunard Queen Victoria Episode 1 (Chapter 1) - Welcome aboard the Cunard Queen Victoria! Join us as we begin our magical 4-night festive cruise, setting sail from Southampton on this beautifully elegant Cunard ship. In this boarding day vlog, we take you through our seamless embarkation experience before exploring our Oceanview stateroom (stateroom 1066) and soaking up the ship’s stunning Christmas dΓ©cor. Cunard really knows how to create a luxurious festive atmosphere! This is our 8th Cunard cruise (we’ve previously sailed on Queen Anne, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria), but it’s been a while since we were last onboard β€” so we’re excited to share what’s new. We enjoy a delicious dinner in the Britannia Restaurant before heading up to the iconic Crow’s Nest for a relaxing nightcap with breath-taking views. If you love cruise vlogs, Cunard ship tours, boarding day videos, or Christmas cruises, you’re in the right place! This series was filmed on our December 2024 Queen Victoria Cruise and released in November & December 2025. ✨ Don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe for more cruise content and our full Queen Victoria festive cruise series.
