Queen Victoria

In December of 2001, Cunard announced they would receive another new passenger liner in 2005.  This ship, which was to be built in Italy by Fincantieri, was originally to be part of the Vista series for Holland America. 

However, shortly after Queen Mary 2's debut, it was decided that the not-yet-started vessel would sail for P&O instead, as their Arcadia. A similarly-sized vessel for Cunard will be delivered in January 2007.
