Among the possible destinations, which will be available for the liner’s passengers are cruises to New England, Antigua (the Caribbean) and the Norwegian fjords.

Queen Victoria ship will spend most of the season cruising along Northern Europe and the Mediterranean. At the same time the liner will offer its passengers at least one new direction. In 2013 season Queen Victoria will offer a 24-day cruise to the Eastern Mediterranean, which will include visiting Turkish ports and subsequent voyage to the Black Sea. The liner will also make a number of exciting tours to Northern Europe, including Geysers & Glaciers tour with stops in ports of Iceland and the Faroe Islands, as well as cruise on the Baltic Sea through St.Petersburg. Cruises on the liner last from 10 to 24 days.

Another cruise legend - Queen Elizabeth - will spend 2013 season in the Mediterranean. Queen Elizabeth will start its cruises in Rome, Athens and Venice. In addition, the northern capital of Russia is among the ports of call for Queen Elizabeth. The ship will visit St.Petersburg during the two-week cruise St. Petersburg & Baltic Explorer.
