The Queen Victoria in Kota Kinabalu

Yesterday, Kota Kinabalu was visited by the world’s most anticipated ship, a 90,000-tonne beauty the  MV Queen Victoria. Currently on their 2010 World Voyage, this “Best of the Best” luxury British pride is one of the newest, most opulent passenger ships in the world belonging to Cunard.

Since my dad was piloting another ship at the time, he was able to take this photo of her from this angle while he was on the other ship. It would have been impossible to get a macro angle of her berthed so gracefully unless you were on another ship!

If you look carefully at the bottom of the picture, you’ll be able to see a guy standing by the side of the port, which gives you an idea of just how big the Queen Victoria is. She came and left yesterday, and word on Facebook has it that she’s headed to Perth next as I type! Sigh…
