Cunard's newest ship, the Queen Victoria, has sold out its first two trips and an around-the-world cruise before even starting its career. And that's not all that's making tongues wag. On Monday, the ocean liner will be christened by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

The next day, the ocean liner, whose unique touches include fencing classes, a two-story library and private theater boxes, sets out on its maiden voyage, a 10-day European round trip out of Southampton, England. On Jan. 30, the ship calls on Los Angeles during its world cruise. (800) 728-6273, www.cunard.com.
