The Magic of the Northern Lights

Designed to maximise your chances of seeing the breathtaking Northern Lights, your cruise heads straight for the Norwegian fjords and charming Molde. Two days in Tromsø give you your first taste of life north of the Arctic Circle, before we spend three days in Narvik. Regarded as one of the best spots from which to experience the Aurora Borealis, it’s also home to some of the most spectacular natural landscapes in Norway. Stops in Art Nouveau Ålesund and the country’s colourful second city, Bergen, complete the cruise.

Intimate Cruising on the Queen Victoria

The smallest and most intimate ship in Cunard’s iconic fleet, the Queen Victoria features classically elegant interiors and an attention to detail that Limitless Travellers love. However, it still manages to pack an enormous amount in and boasts all the world-class entertainment, dining and leisure facilities you would expect of a modern cruise ship.

Your holiday begins! Whether you’ve made use of the complimentary parking or a Limitless transfer, our team will be there to help you check in your bags and board the ship. Those guests staying in an accessible cabin will also benefit from Priority Embarkation. We know check-in and boarding can be a nervous experience for some travellers, so Limitless assists with every aspect.

Day 2 At Sea

Exploring the Queen Victoria

Your first day at sea is all about exploring the ship and settling in. Typically, the Limitless Team meets with everyone in the morning to catch up over breakfast, make sure you had a comfortable night, discuss the day ahead, and plan activities. We often lunch and dine as a group as well, so you’re never short of company.

During days at sea, there’s plenty to see and do on the Queen Victoria. As a group, Limitless Travellers often enjoy a relaxed morning, followed by a group lunch and some afternoon fun - be it a theatre show or a musical performance. Then it’s time to get dressed up for a delicious dinner, followed by some fantastic evening entertainment. Of course, how you spend your day is entirely up to you! But it’s good to know that the Limitless Team and your fellow travellers are always around too.

Day 3 At Sea
Cunard Cruises Queen Victoria Royal Court Theatre & entertainment
Onboard Entertainment

From big stage spectaculars to intimate musical performances, there’s something for everyone aboard the Queen Victoria. Though the 800-seater Royal Theatre is the jewel in its crown, the ship hosts a wide range of other venues too. The Queens Room is an elegant homage to a bygone era, where guests can dance the night away to a live orchestra, and the Commodore Club offers excellent cocktails and even better piano performances. Fancy a little karaoke? The Yacht Club has you covered.

Alongside these performances, there are several other participatory activities to enjoy. If you want to learn something new, why not try one of the painting, photography, and cocktail workshops? And don’t forget the ever-popular Cunard Insights series!

Day 4 Molde, Norway

Port Visit

Nestled between fjords and mountains, Molde is a charming Norwegian town known for its sweeping panoramas and vibrant gardens. Nicknamed The City of Roses, it offers a peaceful and scenic stop, with colourful blooms lining the streets during the warmer months and spectacular views across 222 snow-capped mountain peaks from the famous Varden viewpoint.

Whether you're exploring the accessible waterfront promenade, enjoying a coffee with a view, or simply soaking in the tranquil atmosphere, Molde is a gentle and beautiful introduction to everyday life in coastal Norway. The Limitless team will be on hand throughout the visit to offer support and assistance, ensuring you can relax and enjoy every moment.

Day 5 At Sea

Pools & Spa

On warmer days, guests can enjoy the Queen Victoria’s two outdoor pools. The Lido Pool and Pavilion Pool are both located on Deck 9 and benefit from poolside loungers for those who want to top up their tan. A hoist is available for the Pavilion Pool to help disabled guests enter and exit the water. In cooler conditions, the indoor hydrotherapy pool is an excellent option, allowing you to relax in comfort, no matter the weather.

The ship also boasts an onboard spa, Mareel Wellness and Beauty, and an Aqua Therapy Centre. The former offers a range of relaxing and recuperative treatments, including facials, massages and body wraps. The latter is home to the hydrotherapy pool, as well as a sauna and steam room.

Day 6 Tromsø, Norway

Port Visit

Though it’s a fair way north of the Arctic Circle, Tromsø boasts a remarkably mild climate for its latitude. While ice-free waters and westerly winds mean this vibrant city (it has the most bars per capita in all of Norway) may be a little warmer than usual, there’s still plenty of snow!

Tromsø is also home to several excellent accessible attractions, including the local Troll Museum. Trolls play a crucial role in Norwegian folklore and legend and this brilliant museum explains why while also introducing visitors to many of its most famous troll-related tales. Alternatively, the Polar Museum details the expeditions, adventures and everyday lives of Arctic explorers from the 17th century to the modern day.

Day 7 Tromsø, Norway
Tromso cruise Port Norway

With a second day to explore Tromsø before the ship resumes its exploration of the mighty Norwegian fjords, it’s up to you whether you head ashore or take it easy and make the most of the onboard entertainment and leisure facilities.

If you do head into Tromsø, the Polaria Arctic Experience Centre boasts a fantastic arctic aquarium. Designed to help visitors learn about how animals, fish, plants, and people live side-by-side in the Arctic, it’s also home to bearded seals and other unique wildlife. If you just want to get a feel for the town and enjoy the local cafes, bars and restaurants, the Storgatta central shopping street is where you’ll find all the action. Finally, excursions to the Tromsø cable car are also possible, though the gondolas aren’t accessible for all travellers.

Day 8 Narvik, Norway

Port Visit

Situated at the head of the gorgeous Ototfjord, Narvik is surrounded by majestic mountains, deep blue fjords and pristine arctic countryside. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, it is a historically important ice-free port and was also the site of a well-known World War II naval battle. It’s also one of the best spots in Norway from which to catch the Northern Lights. With this in mind, we’ll be spending two nights in the port to maximise your chances of seeing the breathtaking Aurora Borealis.

On your first afternoon in Narvik, we’ll head ashore to get a feel for the town. You may want to grab lunch at a local restaurant, where you can sample local delicacies such as Norwegian stockfish, king crab and reindeer. If you’re into seafood, Narvik’s Fiskehallen (Fish Market) is home to a fantastic restaurant.

Day 9 Narvik, Norway
Narvik Norway Cable car
Port Visit

Having anchored in Narvik overnight, you have a second morning to enjoy this relaxed Norwegian town. As always, you can choose to head ashore or stay aboard the ship and enjoy the world-class amenities. Whether that means indulging in a lavish breakfast while admiring the fjord’s remarkable natural beauty or pampering yourself in the ship’s spa is entirely up to you.

One of the town’s main attractions is the wheelchair-accessible Narvikfjellet cable car, which ascends around 660 metres to the top of the local ski resort and the Fjellkaféen 656 mountain restaurant. Here, you can grab a bite to eat or a warming drink and enjoy the unparalleled views of the fjords below. Alternatively, the Museum Nord offers a fascinating insight into the town's history.

Day 10 Narvik, Norway

Port Visit

On your third and final day in Narvik, you’ll once again be able to choose between staying aboard the ship or making your way into Narvik. If you do head ashore, the Narvik War Museum houses excellent exhibits detailing the pivotal role the town played in WWII and the fearsome naval and mountain battles that unfolded over 62 remarkable days in 1940. It’s certainly a great stop for history aficionados.

Alternatively, you could book yourself a ticket on the accessible Ofoten railway service, which runs through wild arctic landscapes all the way to the Swedish border town of Bjørnefjell. Regarded as one of the most beautiful train journeys in Europe, it’s an opportunity to experience the wilder side of the Norwegian countryside. Of course, you could also opt to cosy up in a traditional café with a hot beverage and enjoy the spectacular mountainous backdrop.

Day 11 Ålesund, Norway

Limitless Accessible Walking Tour

Famed for its spellbinding architecture, Ålesund is the cultural hub of the Sunnmøre region and a relaxed, atmospheric town. Having burned down in 1904, the entire town was rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style, making it one of the most distinctive port stops on your holiday. The approach to the port includes a scenic journey through the Geirangerfjord, and the town centre is just 10 minutes from the dock.

On arrival, your Tour Manager will lead an optional accessible walking tour through the town. Your first stop is the fascinating Art Nouveau Centre, a museum dedicated to Ålesund’s unique architectural heritage. Next comes the imposing neo-Gothic Ålesund Church, followed by the colourful merchant houses and bustling harbour of the Brosundet waterfront. Finally, we’ll visit the town square – Ålesund’s social and civic heart.

Day 12 Bergen, Norway

Port Visit

Norway’s second city, Bergen, is a remarkable port that combines breathtaking natural surroundings with a culturally rich and vibrant town centre. Nestled among seven mountains and situated at the heart of a labyrinth network of fjords, it was an influential trading port for much of its past, as reflected in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Bryggen wharf, where colourful wooden buildings line the waterfront.

The city fish market is a popular destination, as delicious seafood is guaranteed, while the Bergen Maritime Museum offers a glimpse into the city’s historic significance and is accessible throughout. The Fløyen Funicular Railway is also wheelchair accessible and takes visitors 320 metres up above the city to Fløyen. However, Limitless Travellers will need to arrange this independently.

Day 13 At Sea

Restaurants & Bars

With a total of 13 bars and 11 restaurants, the Cunard Queen Victoria caters to all tastes, offering everything from casual poolside bites to fine dining and the chance to sample global cuisines. Whether you fancy a classic pub lunch at the Golden Lion or are tempted by the gourmet delights of the Steakhouse at the Verandah, the Queen Victoria’s dining venues guarantee delicious fare.

The ship’s restaurants are supplemented by a range of bars and lounges, where you can sit back and relax with a cocktail or enjoy a glass of wine as you pull into port. The Commodore Club guarantees fantastic sea views, and the Art Deco Chart Room evokes the glamour of an age gone by. Churchill’s Cigar Lounge is the ideal spot for cigar connoisseurs who want to light up while enjoying a glass of scotch, and the Yacht Club keeps the party going into the night with music and plenty of dancing.

Day 14 At Sea
Cunard Cruises Queen Victoria Library
Sailing Home

By now, you will have spent a few days exploring the Queen Victoria and enjoying the facilities, activities and entertainment. But we guarantee there are still things you’re yet to see, do or find. Have you visited the onboard library? Tucked into a steak at The Verandah? Expanded your horizons at one of the Queen Victoria’s award-winning Cunard Insights talks?

As we make our way back to Southampton, this is a great opportunity to check out those parts of the Queen Victoria you’re yet to see or return to your favourite spots. Or just relax in total comfort and reminisce about the places you’ve seen over the course of your holiday. Have a chat with your Tour Manager in the morning and organise the perfect final day.

Day 15 Southampton, UK

We can’t wait to see you on your next Limitless holiday!

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.

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.
