Queen Victoria is scheduled to enter dry dock at Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam for an extensive three-week transformation. She is expected to leave the refit on November 5 and return to passenger service on November 7, 2026.

The project will refresh the Grand Lobby and reimagine the Queens Room. The Queens Room's new decorative treatment is inspired by Queen Victoria's orange-blossom brooch and wedding bouquet. Cunard will also refresh Queens Grill and Princess Grill suites with new furnishings and design detailing, while updating the associated Grill restaurants, lounge and terrace spaces.

Eight additional Britannia staterooms will be introduced. Three will belong to a new Britannia Deluxe Oceanview category featuring floor-to-ceiling windows. The Pavilion Wellness Café will also be added, making Queen Victoria the third Cunard ship to receive the venue. It will serve breakfast, lunch and daytime light dining, emphasizing plant-based dishes alongside sustainably sourced meat, fish and dairy.
