Be one of the first to experience Queen Anne

30 May 2023

It’s only a year now until Queen Anne joins Cunard’s fleet – and this iconic cruise line is celebrating by giving additional spending money to guests who book by 31 July 2023 on selected 2023 and 2024 holidays on Queen Anne and her sister ships. This is on top of what is already included in your amazing package: outstanding White Star service from Cunard’s fabulous crew, delicious dining, and thrilling entertainment and experiences, from indulgent afternoon teas and sparkling gala evenings to Insights talks by revered guest speakers.

Be one of the first to experience Queen Anne

Cunard’s 249th ship, Queen Anne will extend the line for future generations as part of a remarkable quartet she will form with the Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth. Queen Anne will see Cunard’s much-loved signature spaces revamped for the 21st century, and there will also be fresh new dining, cultural and entertainment experiences. The vessel will also stand out for having the rarity of a female captain, Faroe Islands born Inger Klein Thorhauge, who first worked for Cunard 25 years ago.

Additional Spending Money

You can spend your extra money on a host of other activities on board or ashore, including a curated selection of Shore Experiences available in every port on your voyage. Or you can splash out on treats such as a hot stone, seaweed or bamboo massage at Mareel spa, or buttery soft wagyu or a fruit de mer platter laden with fresh lobster, Scottish langoustines and Atlantic crab at The Verandah.

Whatever you choose, you’ll be making the most of every moment of your Cunard experience. We’ve picked out some of our favourite cruises on which the additional spending money is available.
