The world\u2019s oldest cruise line just got a little younger. Cunard<\/a> has unveiled the newest addition to its fleet, Queen Anne<\/a>, due to set sail for the first time on 3 May 2024. The ship spans 1,058 feet in length (322 metres) and can carry 2,996 passengers alongside more than 1,200 staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seamlessly blending Cunard’s rich heritage with contemporary design, the Italian-built Queen Anne is a testament to timeless sophistication. Renowned design firms, including David Collins Studio, have lent their expertise to interiors that pay homage to Cunard’s 184-year legacy while embracing a modern aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After several shorter voyages around Europe and the Mediterranean, the impressive vessel will venture from one corner of the globe to the other during a special maiden World Voyage. Queen Anne will depart Hamburg on 7 January 2025 or Southampton on 9 January 2025, the ship will cross the Transatlantic before heading to the Americas, Australasia, Asia, the Arabian Gulf, and the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Stepping into the ship’s Grand Lobby, passengers are greeted by a stunning Art Deco-inspired metal mural, evoking the glamour of bygone eras. Meanwhile, theatre enthusiasts will relish the opulent Royal Court Theatre: spanning two decks, it’s a nod to the grandeur of the golden age of travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
