NYE Festivities In The Dutch Capital

After Christmas, spend six nights aboard Queen Victoria enjoying the elegance of ocean travel. Relax over afternoon tea, enjoy exceptional dining and live entertainment, before dressing for Gala evenings, dancing in the Queens Room or settling in for a show at the Royal Court Theatre.

Then comes the highlight: New Year’s Eve in Amsterdam. Queen Victoria arrives on 31 December and stays overnight into New Year’s Day, giving you the chance to experience one of Europe’s most exciting cities at its most celebratory. Throughout the cruise, you’ll also be part of the Limitless group. Enjoy dinners together, raise a glass with new friends and welcome 2027 surrounded by familiar faces, with the reassurance of the Limitless team there throughout.

This isn’t simply a cruise over New Year. It’s a memorable way to say goodbye to 2026 and welcome 2027 in style, together.

Intimate Cruising on Queen Victoria

The smallest and most intimate ship in Cunard’s iconic fleet, Queen Victoria combines classically elegant interiors with the world-class entertainment, dining and service for which Cunard is renowned.

Her more intimate atmosphere makes her a wonderful place to relax into life at sea. Spend your days enjoying elegant lounges, afternoon tea, fantastic food and entertainment, before coming together with the Limitless group for memorable evenings on board.

Relax Into Life Aboard Queen Victoria

Today, Queen Victoria calls at Zeebrugge, gateway to the historic Belgian city of Bruges. As Zeebrugge is a closed port and Limitless cannot currently provide accessible transport between the ship and Bruges, this is a wonderful opportunity to relax into life aboard Queen Victoria while many other guests are ashore.

There's nowhere you need to be, so take your time. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, settle into one of the ship's elegant lounges, experience traditional Cunard Afternoon Tea in the Queens Room or simply find a comfortable spot and watch the world go by. You could browse the shops, treat yourself to some time in the Mareel Wellness & Beauty spa or join your fellow Limitless Travellers for lunch and an afternoon activity.

The Limitless team will be on board throughout, so whether you'd like some company, want to join the group or simply need a little assistance, friendly support is never far away.

Guests wishing to visit Bruges can book a Cunard Shore Experience at an additional cost, subject to availability and individual accessibility requirements. Accessible places can be limited, so we recommend discussing this with your Limitless Travel Advisor before travelling.

Queen Victoria remains in Amsterdam for part of New Year's Day, and depending on timings and individual accessibility requirements, there may be an opportunity to enjoy some independent time in the city before the ship sets sail.

Alternatively, stay aboard and make the most of Queen Victoria. Find a comfortable lounge, enjoy a leisurely lunch, treat yourself to some time in the spa or simply sit back and watch Amsterdam from the comfort of your floating hotel.

However you choose to spend the day, the Limitless team will be close by to provide support, reassurance and friendly company.

FAQs

What’s included in a Cunard accessible cabin?

Accessible cabins are available on request. However, they are limited and places sell out quickly. Accessible Outside, Balcony & Mini-Suite Cabins may also be available, though prices will vary. Every accessible cabin features:

  • Wide access doors

  • Space for mobility scooters to be stored

  • Showers with wide door access, pull-down chairs and grip handles

How does Limitless assist with check in and boarding?

Having met the Limitless Team at the port, we'll accompany you to the special assistance check-in. As it's separate from regular check-in, there are no crowds or lengthy queues.

You'll then be given a boarding time. Usually, we board as a group. However, if this isn't possible and you would like the assistance, we ensure a carer accompanies you onto the ship.

We board via the accessible gangway. This ramp connects the ship to the port. If you require support or assistance, both the Limitless Team and the ship's crew will be on hand to help. There are also manual wheelchairs available to make this transfer easier.

On some ships, the accessible gangway can be a little steep. In these instances, two crew members will provide support - one in front and one behind. You'll never be rushed and your safety and comfort are always the priorities.

Remember, you don't need to pre-book any special assistance at the port! We provide this assistance as standard with all Limitless cruises.

What is Limitless Group Support & Holiday Assistance?

Group Support & Holiday Assistance is included as standard with all Limitless holidays. It's what sets us apart from every other UK holiday provider!

This level of support is suitable for those who do not require physical support, but may need a helping hand to make the most of their holiday experience. We provide this assistance in a group setting, so you must be able to support yourself if you intend to leave the group at any point.

What does Group Support & Holiday Assistance include?

✓ Pre-holiday assistance from your Personal Travel Advisor, who will answer any questions you have and provide support with hiring any limited mobility equipment you require.

✓ During your holiday, the Limitless Team will assist you with making the holiday accessible day-to-day, including:

✓ Help with checking into your hotel

For more details, speak with a member of the Limitless team on [PHONE_NUMBER].

What can Limitless do if I require additional care and support?

At Limitless, we offer a range of additional care packages if your require a little more assistance. This allows us to tailor care to individual Limitless Travellers and ensure your needs are met while on holiday.

They range from our Morning, Evening & Occasional Daytime Care package for travellers who require intermittent assistance with personal care to our One-to-One Care With Hoisting package for travellers who would benefit from comprehensive, all-day care.

We always recommend getting touch with your Personal Travel Advisor to discuss care packages. They are always on hand to answer questions, provide information, and make recommendations about the package they think is most suitable for you. You can contact Limitless on [PHONE_NUMBER].

In addition to this, our care team will also reach out to you three months before your holiday to confirm you have everything you need to travel with complete confidence.

What are anchor ports and is Limitless responsible for port changes?

At Limitless Travel, we carefully select cruise itineraries with minimal anchor ports. Anchor ports are those destinations where port logistics mean a small boat or ‘tender’ transport is required to ferry guests to shore. In the vast majority of cases, these tenders are not accessible and some Limitless Travellers will not be able to leave the ship.

Unfortunately, port changes can happen due to any number of reasons while at sea. Limitless Travel cannot be held accountable for any such port changes.
