==Characteristics and naming==
In a departure from other Cunard ''Queens'', ''Queen Victoria'' does not carry mail and thus will not carry the Royal Mail Ship (RMS) status. Also unlike many previous Cunard ''Queens'', ''Queen Victoria'' is not a true ocean liner as she does not have the heavy plating throughout the hull nor the propulsion system of a dedicated transatlantic liner. However the bow was constructed with heavier plating to cope with the transatlantic run, and the ship has a high freeboard.
