Cunard

Queen Elizabeth is just days away from completing a transformational makeover ahead of her debut season sailing from Miami and her inaugural Alaska voyages from Seattle – and we are so proud of our new-look Queen!   This era-defining refurbishment has seen signature spaces such as the Commodore Club, Queens Room, Garden Lounge and The Pavilion thoughtfully revitalised, connecting guests to the ocean while providing the perfect space to relax or enjoy al fresco dining.   We’ll be unveiling new images of this stunning transformation next week (so keep your eyes peeled), but before that we wanted to share this shot of Queen Elizabeth looking as beautiful as ever at Seatrium’s Admiralty Yard in Singapore.   We can’t wait to welcome guests back on board 🤩

We are incredibly proud to announce that Cunard has been honoured with a Special Contribution award at the 2025 Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards 🎉 🏆 ❤️ The accolade recognises Cunard’s part in helping to develop Liverpool’s successful cruise sector, which, as our spiritual home, most recently hosted Queen Anne’s iconic naming ceremony last June – witnessed by 50,000 spectators at Pier Head! We are now putting the finishing touches to celebratory plans to mark our 185th anniversary in the city, where the first Cunard Transatlantic Crossing set sail in 1840. Accepting the award, Lee Powell, Cunard’s Vice President for Brand & Product, said: “It is a tremendous honour to accept this special recognition award on behalf of Cunard. Liverpool is not just a city we visit; it is a city that is part of who we are. Our story with Liverpool began 185 years ago and the connection between Cunard and this great city has only grown stronger over time. We are proud to be part of this city’s story and even prouder of the role Liverpool continues to play in ours.” Below: Lee (middle) with Natalie Wyatt, Board Member, Liverpool City Region Visitor Economy Partnership and TV presenter and Event Host Kevin Duala 

We are so thrilled to announce that Cunard has been crowned Luxury Brand of the Year at the Walpole British Luxury Awards! Walpole is the official sector body for UK luxury businesses, representing over 250 British brands and supporting an industry worth £81 billion to the UK economy. This recognition highlights our success over the past 12 months, including the launch of our newest ship, Queen Anne, in May. Our President, Katie McAlister, said: “Being named ‘Luxury Brand of the Year’ means so much to all of us at Cunard. This award reflects the remarkable efforts of our team and their dedication to represent the best of British hospitality, creativity and craftsmanship. We are immensely proud to bring the best of British to the world stage, creating not only unforgettable voyages but a true celebration of British luxury.”

It’s official 🎉 the City of Liverpool has been named as Queen Anne’s Godparent! Today marks a new chapter in Cunard’s illustrious 184-year history as we celebrated our magnificent new ship with a truly historic naming ceremony in our spiritual home. Five Liverpudlian icons will represent the city, each embodying the heart and future of Liverpool, just as Queen Anne does for Cunard. Inspired by our past and designed for our future, Queen Anne is ready for many unforgettable adventures. We are so proud of her. We are Cunard.
