Cunard has cancelled two Queen Victoria cruises in January 2015 to give the ship a multimillion-pound refit and make essential repairs. The makeover of Queen Victoria at the Blohm & Voss shipyard will include the addition of nine single-occupant staterooms, created in the area of the existing casino, with new carpets and TVs. Sun awnings will be erected on open areas of the ship and new jewellery and watch shops opened. The drydocking has been
brought forward from December 2015 as one of the ship’s propulsion units will need replacing.

New scrubber technology will also be installed on the ship to minimise environmental impact. The two sailings that have been

their travel agents have been informed and a £100 Future Cruise Credit has been offered to those who switch their booking to a sailing within the next two years. Full refunds are also available
for passengers not in a position to rearrange their cruise.
