Today we have two cruise vessels of the Cunard Line entering the Port of Rotterdam, namely the brand-new Queen Victoria (IMO: 9320556, Port of Registry: Southampton) and the, 48 year old, Queen Elizabeth 2 (IMO: 6725418, Port of Registry: Southampton). The Queen Victoria is 294 metres long, 36 metres wide, 54 metres high and has a gross tonnage of 90,049. She provides accomodation to a maximum of 2,000 guests in 990 staterooms which are located on 12 decks. Nice to mention is that 86% of the rooms are outside and 71% of the rooms have balconies. Of course, she is equipped with several lounges, bars and restaurants. Next to this, she is also equipped with a shopping mall, a winter garden, a grand, stylish West-End-style theatre, a conference center, fitness center, sports deck etc., etc. She was built this year by Fincantieri Shipyards, Italy.
The legendary Queen Elizabeth 2 was built in 1969 by Upper Clyde Shipyards, UK and has already carried over two million passengers. She is 293 metres long, 32 metres wide and has a gross tonnage of 70,327. She provides accomodation to 1,778 passengers. On board are a casino, book shop, several bars and restaurants, a library, theatre, pools etc., etc.
Both vessels arrived this morning at Rotterdam. The Queen Victoria, which is on her maiden trip, is currently berthed at the Holland Amerikakade and the Queen Elizabeth is berthed at the Waalhaven. Both vessels will depart later this afternoon with destination Southampton.
