On Friday 19 April 2024 Cunard took delivery of their latest Ship Queen Anne at Marghera ship yard near Venice.

Queen Anne’s Maiden Voyage will be on 3 May 2024 when she embarks on an historic British Isles Festival voyage, including a Naming Ceremony in Cunard's spiritual home of Liverpool on 3 June.

This is the 249th Ship in Cunard's history, Queen Anne will be modern ship yet timeless, however keeping with Cunard’s five star service they are renown for.  We’ve head that the cabins have been designed to be perfect in form and function, with access to your own outdoor space, each balcony stateroom brings together the best in comfort, convenience, and views. 

You’ll get to recharge and relax on your Cunarder bed draped in sumptuous linen, get ready for the day or your evening out with an invigorating shower in your spacious, bright bathroom, and take advantage of leisurely mornings relaxing in your stateroom.

No matter which sort of room you choose, you will delight in the service of your attentive steward, who is on hand to ensure all the finer details are taken care of.

Deck Space

When you first step on board Queen Anne, you may want to find a spot out on deck to delight in truly memorable sailaways, gazing out at some of the world’s most iconic ports as she departs.

Each and every outside deck has been specially designed by an architect to enhance your experience. Find a variety of outside spaces to enjoy on six decks, whether you’re looking to socialise, or simply find a peaceful spot in which to get lost in your holiday read. For a morning jog or perhaps a gentle walk beneath the stars after dinner, head to deck 3 for a lap of the ship. Should you be looking to meet fellow guests and play some deck games, a variety can be found on decks 10, 11, and 14, from classics like shuffleboard to a few new surprises.

Skybox & Observation Deck

Whether you’re looking to lose yourself in sparkling sea views as you sail towards your next port of call, or for a shaded retreat to enjoy a relaxed drink, Queen Anne’s Observation Deck and Sky Bar offers just the place. Located at the  forward  of the ship on deck 14, this day-round space is a wonderfully multi-purpose destination, complete with some of the most uninhibited views of any outside space on board.

Find a sit-up bar offering the perfect vantage point from which to immerse yourself in the surrounding scenery, perhaps with one of our signature Cunard cocktails, and simply while away the hours relaxing and enjoying some time for yourself. You’ll also find a choice of deck games here, to keep you entertained on sunny days at sea. From a full-sized paddle tennis court, to a putting green, driving range, deck quoits, and shuffleboard, there is always something to do at Queen Anne’s Sky Bar and Observation Deck.

Cabana

Revel in a slower pace of life at the Cabana bar. Inspired by sun-drenched, tropical beach bars, this enticing spot is ideal for relaxing and enjoying the company of your travel companions, or perhaps some new friends. Find a selection of vibrant, rum-based cocktails, as well as other bar favourites, and a few nibbles. The space is partially covered so you can find a shaded area if you prefer, but you’ll also find plenty of uncovered open space in which to soak up the sunshine. The theme here is laid-back leisure, so simply take it easy, or if you do feel like some gentle entertainment there are a few games nearby including giant chess. The Cabana bar is also home to two horizon telescopes that can be used to spot other ships or maybe even some ocean wildlife.

Stateroom Balconies

If having access to your own private outdoor space throughout your holiday appeals, look no further than Queen Anne’s Britannia Balcony and Balcony Club Staterooms, or her Princess Grill and Queens Grill Suites.

These accommodation grades invite you to step out into the fresh air directly from your bedroom or living space, giving you a little piece of the outdoors on board that’s entirely yours. Savour a morning coffee, gazing out at the hypnotic swell of the ocean, or the opportunity to curl up quietly with a book in the warmth of the afternoon sunshine. You’ll find adjustable outdoor seating on each of our balcony-equipped suites or staterooms, so you can settle in for as long or as little as you like.

On voyages that sail close to shore, these spaces also allow you to take in the passing scenery from your own private retreat, and the daily anticipation of throwing back your curtains each morning to see what view awaits you today. 

The Queen Anne will accomodate 2,996 passengers with 1,225 crew to ensure unparceled comfort. Queen Anne will arrive in Sydney on 28 February 2025 and stay a few days until 1 March 2025. If you would like to book a cruise on Queen Anne contact Paul now at 101cruise.com.au!
