Less "Stiff Upper Lip", more Modern Glamour. It feels like a luxury hotel that happens to sail.
The Prodigy Verdict

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.

Perfect For
  • Modern luxury travelers curious about Cunard
  • Foodies (best dining variety in the fleet)
  • Those who found QM2 too "dark" or formal
Considerations
  • 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.

Included

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.

Included

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.

Included

Afternoon Tea

Queens Room

The signature white-gloved service remains untouched. Scones, sandwiches, and pastries served daily at 3:00 PM.

Included

Artisans' Food Hall

The Buffet

Replacing "Kings Court". A marketplace concept with live cooking stations rather than long warming trays. Much fresher.

Extra Cost

Aji Wa

Japanese

Brand new for Queen Anne. Features sushi, sashimi, and a dedicated Omakase tasting menu in the evening.

Extra Cost

Tramonto

Mediterranean

Another new addition. Offers al fresco dining with a menu focusing on sun-soaked flavors from Sicily, Sardinia, and Seville.

Extra Cost

Sir Samuel's

Steakhouse

The classic Cunard steakhouse. Premium cuts of beef and seafood, finished with the "perfect pour" from an extensive wine list.

Extra Cost

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.

Prodigy Tip

Try the Golden Lion for lunch on embarkation day. Most people head to the buffet, leaving the pub quiet for a relaxing start with fish & chips.

The Vibe Check

Polished, curated, and bright. It feels like staying at a luxury London hotel that has been transported to sea.

Atmosphere

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.

Demographic

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 vs. Grills
Standard

Britannia Balcony

Modern and well-appointed with Gilchrist & Soames toiletries. Unlike QM2's sheltered balconies, these are glass-fronted for better views.

Prodigy Pick

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.

Top Tier

Queens Grill Suite

The pinnacle. Butler service, pre-dinner canapés, and a table at the Queens Grill. The decor here is exceptionally lavish.
