Win a pair of Tickets to the Ocean Liners: Speed and Style exhibition at the V&A

Titanic in dry dock This prize draw is now closed.

To celebrate the upcoming Ocean Liners: Speed and Style exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, sponsored by Viking Cruises UK, we’re giving away 10 pairs of tickets to Silver Travellers.

The exhibition will explore the romantic and remarkable age of ocean travel on an international scale and runs from 3 February until 17 June 2018.

It is the first ever exhibition to explore the design and cultural impact of the ocean liner on an international scale, and will explore all aspects of ship design from ground-breaking engineering, architecture and interiors to the fashion and lifestyle on board. 

Highlights include a precious Cartier tiara recovered from the sinking Lusitania in 1915, as well as a panel fragment from the Titanic’s first-class lounge, returning to the UK for the first time since its doomed maiden voyage in 1912.

Normandie in New York 1935-39 ® Collection French Lines Also on display will be the Christian Dior suit worn by Marlene Dietrich as she arrived in New York aboard the Queen Mary in 1950, and a striking Lucien Lelong couture gown worn for the maiden voyage of Normandie in 1935.

Torstein Hagen, Chairman of Viking Cruises, said: “A Viking journey is all about exploration and discovery, and we are committed to providing culturally enriching experiences to our guests, both on board our ships and on shore. We are very pleased to partner on this very exciting exhibition celebrating ocean travel, past and present.”
