Queen Victoria

The MS Queen Victoria was launched in 2010. She's the smallest of the sister ships of the Queen Mary2 and the Queen Elizabeth and has a speed of 23.7 knots (43.9 km/h; 27.3 mph) with a capacity of 2,547 passengers

Below is the 1887 paddle steamer Queen Victoria that had a speed of 21 knots (38.9 km/h; 24.2 mph) and a capacity of 1,546 passengers. She was in service until 1915 and sold for scrap by 1920.

  2. Compared to the MS Queen V, the PS Queen V looks like it might have been rather crowded, with only 1,000 less people! Then again, there would be no frivolous attractions on board :)
