Tradition, Evolved.
Queen Anne is a departure from the heavy Edwardian aesthetics of her sisters. Designed by Adam D. Tihany, she embraces light, curvature, and a color palette that feels fresher and more contemporary. While she retains the signatures—Grand Lobby, Queens Room, Golden Lion—she introduces bold new concepts like the Bright Lights Society and a retractable-roof pool deck that feels distinctly resort-like.
- Modern luxury travelers curious about Cunard
- Foodies (best dining variety in the fleet)
- Those who found QM2 too "dark" or formal
- This is a cruise ship, not an ocean liner (standard hull).
- It can feel busier than QM2 due to higher passenger density.
- Some "traditionalists" may find the decor too modern.
The Zones
New venues like the Bright Lights Society sit alongside evolved classics.
Bright Lights Society
A brand new venue for Cunard. An intimate, electric show bar hosting cabaret, jazz, and immersive performances. It feels like a 1920s speakeasy.
The Pavilion
The midships pool deck with a retractable glass roof (The Dome). Designed by the architect of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, it’s a stunning architectural space.
Grand Lobby
A three-deck contemporary take on the Art Deco atrium. It features a mural that changes light throughout the day, acting as the ship's social hub.
Wellness Studio
Part of the expanded Mareel Wellness & Beauty concept. A top-deck space for yoga and pilates with panoramic ocean views—a focus for this ship.
Golden Lion
The classic pub, reimagined. It’s brighter and more polished, serving a new menu designed by Michel Roux (two Michelin stars).
The Library
It wouldn't be Cunard without one. Smaller than QM2's, but beautifully curated with warm woods and comfortable reading nooks.
Queens Room
The ballroom returns, but with a modern twist. It remains the venue for Afternoon Tea and gala balls, central to the Cunard identity.
Panorama Pool Club
The aft pool deck. Terraced seating and unobstructed wake views make this the prime spot for sunset cocktails.
Dining & Provisions
Queen Anne expands the culinary map with new Mediterranean, Japanese, and Indian options.
Britannia Restaurant
Main Dining
Split across two decks, offering the classic tiered dining experience. The design uses gold and light woods to feel airy and modern.
Golden Lion
Michel Roux Pub
The pub menu has been elevated by Chef Michel Roux. Expect the best fish & chips at sea, plus new gastropub favorites.
Afternoon Tea
Queens Room
The signature white-gloved service remains untouched. Scones, sandwiches, and pastries served daily at 3:00 PM.
Artisans' Food Hall
The Buffet
Replacing "Kings Court". A marketplace concept with live cooking stations rather than long warming trays. Much fresher.
Aji Wa
Japanese
Brand new for Queen Anne. Features sushi, sashimi, and a dedicated Omakase tasting menu in the evening.
Tramonto
Mediterranean
Another new addition. Offers al fresco dining with a menu focusing on sun-soaked flavors from Sicily, Sardinia, and Seville.
Sir Samuel's
Steakhouse
The classic Cunard steakhouse. Premium cuts of beef and seafood, finished with the "perfect pour" from an extensive wine list.
Aranya
Indian
A multi-sensory tour of India. Not your standard curry house; expect refined, playful dishes that explore the spice regions of the subcontinent.
Where It Sails
Queen Anne spends her time exploring Europe, the Canaries, and embarking on epic World Voyages.
- Mediterranean Highlights
- Norwegian Fjords
- World Voyage Segments
Cunard uses Queen Anne to attract a slightly younger demographic with shorter 7-14 night European sailings, alongside the grand voyages.

The Vibe Check
Polished, curated, and bright. It feels like staying at a luxury London hotel that has been transported to sea.
Cunard has loosened the tie just a fraction. It is still formal in the evenings, but the daytime vibe is more relaxed resort than ocean liner stiffness.
Slightly younger than QM2. You'll see more couples in their 40s and 50s, especially on 7-night sailings, drawn by the new dining and wellness focus.

Cabin Recon
Cabins are designed by Sybille de Margerie with a focus on deep blues and gold.
Britannia Balcony
Modern and well-appointed with Gilchrist & Soames toiletries. Unlike QM2's sheltered balconies, these are glass-fronted for better views.
Britannia Club
The dedicated restaurant for this class is arguably the best designed on the ship. You get open dining and a slightly more spacious balcony cabin.
Queens Grill Suite
The pinnacle. Butler service, pre-dinner canapés, and a table at the Queens Grill. The decor here is exceptionally lavish.
