On land, we are delighted to support the world’s oldest literary festival, hosting The Cunard Stage at Cheltenham Town Hall and the VIP Lounge in partnership with Cunard.
Join us once again to celebrate the world of the written word at The Times and Sunday Times Cheltenham Literature Festival 2026.

The Times and Sunday Times Cheltenham Literature Festival

Every Cunard Queen features an inviting library, from the grand space on Queen Mary 2, that’s stocked full of volumes new and old, to the more contemporary, comfortable lounge on Queen Anne. There's nothing like losing yourself in a good book at sea, and our libraries provide the perfect spaces in which to relax and find a new favorite.
