Drone footage captures Cunard Queen Victoria cruise ship sailing into Port of Tyne

Stunning drone footage has captured Cunard Queen Victoria's visit to the region this weekend as the 294m cruise ship sailed through Tynemouth and into the Port of Tyne.

The Queen Victoria is capable of carrying more than 2,000 passengers as well as 980 crew members. And on Sunday, the majestic ship wowed onlookers in North Shields as it sailed into the Port of Tyne after returning from Barbados ahead of its season of voyages.

Families lined the river to catch a glimpse of the luxurious ship, which first visited the port in 2019 as part of a 12-night voyage around the British Isles. But drone enthusiast John Holdroyd managed to capture a unique view of the cruise liner on his drone as it sailed through Tynemouth.
