One fan of Queen Anne is Bolsover Cruise Club travel agent Adrian Morris (left), who embarked on his first Cunard cruise 13 years ago and has been an advocate for the iconic brand ever since. Last month he stepped on board Queen Anne for the first time, joining his family on a 12-night roundtrip sailing from Southampton, stopping in Edinburgh, Invergordon, Stornoway, the Isle of Skye, Killybegs, Belfast, Liverpool and Cork.
“I like all ships, but I love to get on a brand-new one, so I was quite excited,” he says. “Queen Anne feels like a modern Cunard ship – she still has the Cunard nods that guests love, like the Chart Room, the Queens Room, the Golden Lion; but she’s new and fresh.”
From West End-style productions in the 835-seat Royal Court Theatre to contemporary signature venues, Queen Anne offers a rich programme of entertainment throughout every voyage.
At the heart of the ship is the spectacular three-deck Grand Lobby, where art deco-inspired design, live music and social spaces combine to create one of the ship’s most striking focal points.
One new feature on Queen Anne is the Bright Lights Society – a bold and sparkling show bar that hosts captivating cabaret performers and grinning guests in its opulent surrounds.
