Through the Porthole: First Cruise Cunard's Queen Victoria by Gary Troia takes readers on an exciting trip along with the author on his first cruise on the Queen Victoria. His account of ten days on the Queen Victoria gives readers a peek into the ten day cruise trip docking at La Coruna, Cadiz, Malaga, Tangier, and Lisbon. The descriptions of the comfort and luxury inside the ship will make travel aficionados book their next trip on a cruise ship when it comes to exploring new places.
