Captain Paul Wright was appointed as the first master of Queen Victoria in October 2006.
Captain Christopher Rynd became secondary master.
Captain Ian McNaught briefly commanded Queen Victoria before transferring to Seabourn.

Queen Victoria undertook her maiden voyage, a 10-day cruise to northern Europe, on 11 December 2007.
Following this and a cruise to the Canary Islands, Queen Victoria embarked on her first world cruise, circumnavigating the globe in 107 days. (
The first ship to have previously done so—also named Victoria—took 1,153 days in 1519 to 1522.)
The first leg of this voyage was a tandem crossing of the Atlantic with Queen Elizabeth 2, to New York City, where the two ships met Queen Mary 2 near the Statue of Liberty on 13 January 2008, with a celebratory fireworks display, marking the first time three Cunard Queens had been present in the same location.
Cunard declared that this would also be the only time the three ships would ever meet, owing to the QE2's impending retirement from service in late 2008, though the ships did meet again in Southampton on 22 April 2008, resulting from a change in Queen Elizabeth 2's schedule.

In May 2008, Queen Victoria struck a pier in Malta after her thrusters malfunctioned.
However the damage was minimal, allowing the ship to continue operating, but repairs resulted in her missing a port of call in La Goulette.

Queen Victoria completed her third World Cruise in 2010 where she was joined by Captain Chris Wells who was aboard to familiarise himself with the Vista-class ship before taking command of Queen Elizabeth in late 2010.
During a call at Sydney, Queen Victoria was illuminated in pink in support of Breast Cancer Research.

On 9 December 2010 Cunard announced its first female captain, Faroese born Inger Klein Olsen, who would take command of Queen Victoria beginning on 15 December.

 At the end of October 2011 Queen Victoria and her fleet mates changed their registries to Hamilton, Bermuda, to host weddings on board.
Also the word "Southampton" across the stern was replaced by Hamilton.
