QUEEN VICTORIA SIGHTSEEING CRUISE

With a warm and sunny Tropical North Queensland day and many locals joining Quicksilver’s sightseeing cruise, it was a royal welcome for the majestic Queen Victoria as she graced the shores off Port Douglas on her maiden world cruise.

Celebrating the occasion, Quicksilver’s sightseeing cruise aboard Quicksilver V was a wonderful community event with around 250 locals sharing the breathtaking experience, capturing a glimpse into the glamorous world of ocean cruising and Cunard’s new Queen.

One of the world’s newest and most luxurious cruise liners, Queen Victoria is on her inaugural 106-night world voyage and was in Port Douglas for just one day on February 29th, before continuing her cruise through the Far North and returning to Southampton via Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

At 294 metres in length, the Queen Victoria can carry 2000 passengers with accommodation over 12 guest decks in 990 staterooms.

While many locals enjoyed viewing the majestic liner, many of her guests disembarked to enjoy the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef with Quicksilver.
