It was such a joy to welcome national treasure Christopher Biggins to the Queens Hotel. He stayed with us ahead of the four-day naming ceremony for Viking Cruises’ latest ship, Venus, departing from Portsmouth International Port.
With more cruise ships choosing to operate from Portsmouth, the Queens Hotel is keen to provide the perfect place to stay the night before the voyage begins.
And the former King of the Jungle was happy to endorse the Queens Hotel as a great place to stay.
He told us: “It’s such a beautiful hotel. It’s great to be able to stay the night before we embark so we don’t have to set off early and worry about getting stuck in traffic.
“We love to go on cruises. It makes it so much more relaxed and enjoyable if you can stay in a hotel like the Queens before you depart.”
We wish him Bon Voyage and look forward to welcoming him and husband Neil once again to the Queens Hotel soon.
