It was a commission by a wealthy acquaintance who had Strauss write it for a special woman in his life and asked it to match her playful but majestic beauty.

You must be referring to the river Danube, which inspired the waltz known in English as The Blue Danube but in German as An der schönen blauen Donau.

What did Queen Victoria think of the waltz?

Queen Victoria was a keen dancer. However she was not allowed to dance the waltz before her wedding because the waltz was considered too vulgar for an unmarried lady of her class. That didn't stop her wanting to. In her diary just before her wedding, she writes how much she is looking forward to dancing the waltz at last - with her husband of course. Johann Strauss I (the father of the one who write the Blue Danube) provided music for the balls associated with her wedding, including a stonker of a waltz called "Homage to Victoria, Queen of England". As she became queen before she married, she would not have danced to it.
