Prices for the full voyage (108-day roundtrip from the UK) started from US$16400 per person with double occupancy. On April 14, 2023, on the superstructure was mounted the funnel, traditionally for Cunard painted in red and black. Cunard's shipbuilding contract (MoA/memorandum of agreement) with Fincantieri was signed on Sept 25, 2017. The vessel (Marghera yard/hull number 6274) is of the Holland America Line's PINNACLE-class, and by design is similar to HAL's boats Koningsdam (2016), New Statendam (2018), Rotterdam (2021).
Cunard's newest ship Queen Anne to offer an unprecedented luxury retail shopping experience
Fred showed off walls of glass that would flood it with natural light, and he said the venue would have a secret entrance at its rear for the captain of the ship to enter to officiate over weddings and vow renewals. If you're already a Cunard fan, you know that the ship's forward-facing observation lounge — the Commodore Club — is a hot spot on all its ships. So you'll surely be excited to know that Cunard is really blowing things out for the Commodore Club on Queen Anne.
Entertainment
Queen Anne’s breathtaking interiors take inspiration from our past to define a striking new design direction for our future. A ship that offers both exciting, novel experiences, as well as our much-loved signature venues. Cunard Queen Anne boasts a main pool area and aft pool deck, both of which come complete with poolside bar and grill, 2 hot tubs each and plenty of sun loungers to make a day of it under the sun. In addition, the spa also has a hydropool to soothe your body after along day exploring yesterday’s port of call. Dining on the Queen Anne is more diverse with 15 restaurants, but traditionalists will be happy that mainstays Britannia Restaurant and the Golden Lion pub remain. The latter has received a revamp, and will be curated by Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux.

It's a "something for everyone" approach that is part of Cunard's wanting to offer more options and more "activations" on its top decks. It was created, notably, by Martin Francis, the United Kingdom-based design wizard who figured out how to make the glass pyramid at the Louvre Museum stay up, and it soars higher and feels airier than what you usually see on ships with such roofs. As I saw during the sneak peek, the open-air top decks of Queen Anne are shaping up to be more spectacular than anything we've ever seen in the Cunard fleet.

The newbuild was officially handed over on Friday during a ceremony at the Fincantieri Marghera shipyard in Venice. In October 2018, Cunard contracted the company Tihany Design (led by Adam D Tihany) to oversee the interior design works on the newbuild, which back then was planned for inauguration in 2022. Adam Tihany's latest project started with the layouts of the onboard dining venues, including Cunard's traditional "class restaurants" Queens Grill and Princess Grill. Besides Tihany Design, other companies currently involved in this project include the London UK-based David Collins Studio (led by Simon Rawlings) and Richmond International (by Terry McGillicuddy) as well as the Paris France-based SM Desing (by Sybille de Margerie). "This beautiful and iconic ship testifies the longstanding partnership between our two companies, underscoring our shared commitment to excellence and tradition in the maritime industry," added Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and managing director of Fincantieri.

The other three specialty restaurants are Aji Wa, a Japanese restaurant with sushi and an omakase tasting menu; Sir Samuels, a high-end steakhouse; and Tramonto, which will have outdoor dining and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. The Queen Anne cruise ship will have a completely redesigned interior, drawing on the 182-year history of Cunard, while giving the brand a modern, contemporary aesthetic. Details are gradually being released about the new 3,000-passenger cruise ship, which will bring Cunard's fleet to four for the first time since 1999. The idea, in part, is to get all of the fitness classes that the line normally offers in its fitness area out of the inside of the ship and up to the top deck, where they can take place under the natural light of the outdoors and with views of the sea all around.
Cunard has revealed that 50 unique shore activities for Queen Anne will be offered during the inaugural season. These exclusive signature shore experiences, which span 60 locations, provide something for every taste, from historical landmarks to breathtaking natural wonders. Sail aboard the magnificent Queen Anne and see some of the world's most amazing sights and destinations, providing you with the chance to immerse yourself in the local way of life along the way. Departing Southampton on May 3, 2024, the 7-night maiden voyage will make port calls in Spain’s La Coruña and Portugal’s Lisbon. With just two ports, there will be plenty of time for guests to explore the brand new ship. Traditional features including the white-glove afternoon tea service and ballroom dancing remain, but are joined by a new late-night cabaret club, a pool area with DJ and retractable roof, and a wellness area featuring a Himalayan salt sauna.
Of these illustrious brands,27 also mark first-time partnerships for Cunard, including Hugo Boss, Raishma,and 886 Royal Mint. Notably, Garrard, the U.K.'s first official crown jeweler,will debut its very first boutique aboard a Cunard ship. During previous announcements about the ship, Cunard has also said the Queen Anne would offer a new level of luxury shopping at sea. That includes an array of exclusive retail brands and a"Cabinet of Curiosities" gallery on board.
Cunard also partnered with two-Michelin star chef Michel Roux, famous for his restaurant Le Gavroche, who worked closely with Cunard’s culinary development team to devise a unique gala menu exclusively for the Queen Anne‘s Queens Grill restaurant. Delight in the sheer amount of choice that awaits on this indulgent ship that offers new experiences alongside renowned signature venues. Enjoy the freedom to do as little or as much as you choose and indulge in everything that makes a Cunard ship so special. With luxurious flourishes enhanced by stylish décor, every day on Queen Anne offers a chance to sail the world in unparalleled comfort.
Mediterranean cruises will be an important part of Queen Anne’s first year, as the ship visits historic cities such as Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Cartagena, and the port of Civitavecchia for trips to Rome. Britannia balcony rooms will have cosy sofa seating areas looking out to sea, and light, bright bathrooms with glass walk-in showers for a more relaxed, luxury experience. Princess Grill Suites, designed by Sybille de Margerie, will offer a bar area with a feature wall panel. For the pub, Cunard has teamed up with Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux to revamp the Golden Lion menu.
On April 29, 2022, at Castellammare di Stabia shipyard was launched the troncone (hull's forward lower/bow section) with which for the first time the vessel touched the water. The troncone (length 165 m/541 ft, width 35,6 m/117 ft, weight tons) was then towed by tugboats to Fincantieri's Marghera shipyard (Venice) where the boat will be completed. Next are listed the ship's itineraries originally scheduled for the maiden season (2024) as departure dates, lengths, themes and booking codes. One-way Transatlantic crossings between the UK and Florida USA (Southampton-Fort Lauderdale) were also offered, including a 12-night westbound (with Ponta Delgada Azores) and a 10-night eastbound (with Hamilton Bermuda).
Both are extra-charge specialty restaurants, as will be Queen Anne's high-end steakhouse, Sir Samuel's — another new concept. A fourth specialty eatery that is new for Cunard, Tramonto, will serve Mediterranean dishes. "We're offering a lot more choice. There are more experiences in the space," Fred shared.
These four specialty restaurants, which we saw under construction at the shipyard, will complement the traditional Queens Grill, Princess Grill, Britannia and Britannia Club restaurants that are the main eateries for passengers (assigned based on cabin category). The observation deck will be more of a destination for passengers than the much smaller games decks that have occupied the top fronts of Cunard's last two ships — in part because of the inclusion of the outdoor bar, which is something Cunard traditionally hasn't built into forward deck-top areas. Grills Suites passengers can make room service orders (for in-cabin dining) from their exclusive MDR restaurants' (Princess Grill / Queens Grill) menus.
As is typical at this stage of construction, the exterior of the ship and the framing for its interior spaces is mostly complete. The next image is the July 2023-released by Cunard Queen Anne ship's cutaway made by Dominik Bulka (Wroclaw Poland-born illustrator and graphic designer). MS Queen Anne was officially delivered to Cunard on April 19, 2024, at the Fincantieri Marghera Shipyard. The Royal Court Theatre (designed by Richmond International) is the ship's 2-deck main show lounge that features premium amphitheatrical seating providing perfect stage views from all the 825 seats.
