Introducing MV The Victoria in Minecraft!
This is a 1:1 scale build of the Chandris Liner MV The Victoria! This build features her public open spaces, Lounges, Dining Rooms and outdoor amenities.
Short History of MV The Victoria:
Originally built as the MS Dunnottar Castle for Union Castle line, she served a great career for them until she was sold to Incres Steamship Co and completely transformed into the MS Victoria. After her service, Chandris bought her in 1975 and renamed her to "The Victoria". She cruised with Chandris until 1993 when Louis Cruise Lines bought her and renamed her to "Princesa Victoria". She continued to do cruises and was used as a hotel ship for Expo '98 in Lisbon and for the G8 summit in Genoa in 2001. She was later laid up and in 2004 she was scrapped at the Kumar Steel Breakers Yard in India. Marking the end of her long 68 year long life.

Read this before you explore my ship builds:
1) I recommend you use the Natural Texture Pack for full immersion. I exclusively build in this texture pack to give my builds a unique look and feel. You can download the Natural Texture Pack here.
2) I build in 1:1 scale, but building in this scale comes with limitations. Some areas may be distorted or compromised due to scale and sizing when building in 1:1. Compromises have to be made in order to complete the build. Some areas may not resemble the actual ship and in those circumstances, I have to fictionalize some aspects about the build to "balance out" the build or to allow player interaction. I fully recognize 1:1 is not a perfect scale to build in but I personally find 1:1 to be the sweet spot for me.
3) I don't build cabins, engine rooms, or crew spaces. The reason is there is little to no information on what some of these spaces actually looked like, so I'd rather not spend the time to build something that I don't have information on. There is dead space on my builds because I primarily focus on class accommodations (Lounges, Dining Rooms, etc) and tend to focus less on passenger corridors, cabins, crew spaces, etc.
