About Queen Anne
Queen Anne is Cunard's newest ship, delivered in 2024 with a maiden voyage from Southampton in May. At 113,000 GT, she is the largest Cunard ship by passenger capacity (2,996 at double occupancy) though smaller in tonnage than Queen Mary 2. Queen Anne brings a more contemporary design to the Cunard fleet while retaining the line's signature traditions: Gala Evenings, the Queens Room, White Star service, and the three-tier Grill dining system.
Best for: Cunard fans who want the newest hardware without sacrificing tradition. Queen Anne bridges the gap between Cunard's heritage and modern cruise design, appealing to first-time Cunard guests who might find Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth dated, and to loyal guests ready for something fresh.
