The Queen Anne, Cunard Line’s newest and most elegant addition to its royal fleet, brings a fresh wave of sophistication to luxury cruising. Named in honour of one of Britain’s most refined monarchs, the ship marries timeless grandeur with contemporary indulgence, offering guests an elevated experience on the high seas.
Queen Anne is designed to impress at over 1,000 feet long and has a guest capacity of around 3,000. Whether you’re looking for relaxation, excitement, or cultural enrichment, this ship delivers on every front.
For those drawn to the thrill of games and glittering lights, the onboard casino offers a lively atmosphere with everything from slot machines to blackjack tables. If a night of entertainment is more your style, the ship’s cabaret shows are a must-see, featuring dazzling performances that blend music, dance, and drama with Broadway-level polish.
Dining aboard Queen Anne is a journey of its own. World-class restaurants serve up a variety of global cuisines, with menus crafted by renowned chefs. In fact, Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jr. has a standing partnership with Cunard, and on select sailings, the Queen Anne hosts Le Gavroche at Sea—a rare opportunity to enjoy the iconic London restaurant’s legendary cuisine while sailing the open ocean. From formal dining rooms with silver service to intimate speciality venues and casual alfresco spots, every meal onboard feels like a special occasion.
When it’s time to unwind, guests can retreat to the ship’s pools, perfect for a mid-ocean dip or lounging under the sun with a cocktail in hand. For a more refined escape, the cigar room offers a cosy enclave where aficionados can enjoy premium cigars in an atmosphere of quiet elegance.
Literary lovers will find solace in the onboard library, one of the largest at sea. With shelves lined with thousands of titles and plush reading nooks, it’s an ideal hideaway for losing yourself in a good book. And for those who enjoy a bit of retail therapy, Queen Anne doesn’t disappoint—its shopping areas feature luxury boutiques and designer stores where you can browse the latest in fashion, fine jewellery, and more.
I had the pleasure of experiencing an evening aboard Queen Anne myself, and it was nothing short of spectacular. We were guided on an exclusive tour of the ship, exploring its elegant cabaret lounges, grand performance halls, chic shopping areas, and sun-drenched pool decks. Afterwards, I made my way to the refined Churchill Bar, where I sipped a perfectly crafted cocktail while enjoying the live music. The evening ended on a high note with a decadent five-course dinner and sake tasting at the ship’s exquisite Japanese restaurant, the Aji Wa—a culinary experience I won’t soon forget.
From the elegant staterooms to the art-lined corridors, every corner of Queen Anne is designed with meticulous attention to detail. It’s not just a cruise—it’s a curated lifestyle experience at sea.
Whether you’re setting sail for a transatlantic crossing or exploring sun-soaked ports in the Mediterranean, Queen Anne offers an unforgettable voyage that blends classic British charm with modern luxury. Welcome aboard the next chapter in Cunard’s legendary story.
