Modern Luxury, Inspired by History (2024)

The New Golden Age of Travel

In May 2024, more than 180 years of heritage assumed a bold and modern form: Queen Anne, the pinnacle of luxury ocean travel. Inspired by the Golden Age of travel, when stars including Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor sailed the oceans with Cunard, it's a style of luxe that's fresh, dynamic and utterly contemporary.

"It's going to feel like you've stepped back to the Golden Age of travel, but it's not going to feel like you've stepped back in time. It's going to feel very contemporary." Lewis Taylor, Design Director, David Collins Studio

A world-class design team, whose land-based projects include work for Nobu, Thomas Keller and the Wolseley, as well as The Berkeley in London and The Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, tapped Cunard's archives to set a new benchmark for luxury. Queen Anne is a ship for the new era of travel — contemporary, glamorous and effortlessly elegant.

A Sense of Wonder

Descend the sweeping staircase to the Grand Lobby, a dramatic three-storey space with a backlit metal sculpture that changes mood from day to night. Watch a musical, a play or an expert speaker from the rich velvet seats of the Royal Court Theatre. Dine in your choice of more than a dozen venues, including the double-height Britannia Restaurant, where servers weave between gilded Art Deco pillars amid a marine palette of teals and greens.

"We based the design on a sense of wonder, like a matchmaker at sea that introduces the past to its most alluring future." Sybille de Margerie, Interior Architect and head of her own interior design firm in Paris

Watch the sun sink into the ocean as a besuited bartender shakes up your perfect co*cktail, sip ice-cold French fizz or take a wine-tasting class with a professional sommelier. Seek out the perfect steak, a seafood feast, a superfood salad or fine dining — or dine on your balcony as the world glides by.

A Journey of the Senses

There's a leisurely luxe to Queen Anne that speaks to the now: a slower, mellower pace that sloughs away the pressures of work and the daily grind. It's a style of travel that lets the world come to you — unpack just once, then discover new cities and coastlines from your stateroom.

Even the simplest staterooms feel elegant and serene, with a rich blue colour palette. But the Queens Grill Grand Suites tap new heights of exclusivity. Enjoy sea views as you soak in the marble-clad bathrooms or catch some rays on your expansive sundeck; feast on elite cuisine in a dedicated dining room complete with butler's pantry. Walk-in wardrobes are tailor-made for travellers who dress to impress.

"Queen Anne embodies all the characteristics that make Cunard so well-loved and at the same time reimagines the experience extending the Cunard Line for future generations." Lee Powell, Cunard's Vice-President of Brand & Product

Peace and a sense of space dominate the days yet your choices are endless: take an art class* or try your hand at fencing, run a lap of the airy deck or get your endorphins flowing at the state-of-the-art fitness centre. Indulge in a massage, meditation or a relaxing facial in the airy, contemporary Mareel Spa* or feel the stress ease away with a sunrise yoga session* at the top-deck wellness studio – a new addition on board Queen Anne.

Evenings, too, can be as lively as you want them. Listen to live jazz at the bustling Golden Lion pub or take in contemporary cabaret in the Bright Lights Society. On Gala Evenings, the ship comes alive, as travellers put on the glitz for a masquerade ball, a black-and-white evening, or a Roaring 20s celebration.

To Sail the World's Seas

Queen Anne will sail the world's oceans, gliding past white sand atolls and jungled coastlines, ancient ports and soaring skyscrapers.

Imagine sailing away from the buzzing city of Sydney, waving goodbye to the iconic Sydney Opera House as you venture forth on Queen Anne's maiden World Voyage, cruising past more of Australia's most desirable destinations before journeying north to Indonesia. Picture yourself basking in the warmth of the Southeast Asian tropics, and then setting off to see the spectacular city of Cape Town, making a pitstop in Port Louis, Mauritius' historic capital where cultures and white sandy beaches converge.

"To be the first captain of Queen Anne is just such an honour. I'm so immensely proud." Captain Inger Klein Thorhauge

Picture falling asleep to the gentle white noise of a ship at sea, and the lapping of the waves, satiated after a long day of food and travel, yet knowing that in the morning a whole new view awaits.

This is the new world of luxury travel. This is the world of Queen Anne.
