The Secret Garden

Launching in early 2024, Queen Anne will be an iconic addition to an already iconic line. Cunard’s 249th ship, she will make up a remarkable quartet with Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth, all of them taking the fleet into the future while continuing time-honoured traditions of world-class comfort, all-pervading calm and fabulous cuisine.

Queen Anne will depart for her maiden cruise from Southampton on January 4th 2024, sailing a 7 night voyage to Lisbon, with an overnight in port.

During her maiden season, Queen Anne will visit more than 30 unique ports, including Mediterranean cities, Caribbean islands and the picturesque fjords of Norway. Those who join these sailings will be part of the celebrations as she’s greeted in ports for the very first time, witnessing the ship’s captain and local harbour master make the traditional plaque exchange.

Queen Anne will offer pools, bars alfresco eateries and a wide open deck spaces that will invite you to connect with the great outdoors like never before, including aft deck corners that extend out, offering unique views of the ship and waters.

Its central stage and LED screen mean it can host open-air theatre, screenings, live music and more.
