For 183 years Cunard has provided the benchmark for luxury travel at sea. We’re renowned for our signature Cunard touch that goes above and beyond to make every guest feel like royalty. When you sail on a Cunard Queen, you unlock experiences you won’t find anywhere else at sea. Specially themed Gala Evenings. Delicious extra special Afternoon Tea in the Queens Room. And of course, our legendary White Star Service. Here, we celebrate the wide open spaces and the uniquely Cunard flourishes you can look forward to on board our spacious Cunard Queens.

Each day on board brings new possibilities and discoveries. Learn something new with our inspiring guest speakers from around the world, thanks to the exclusive Cunard Insights program. Broaden your horizons with classes in dance, cocktail making and more. Or simply relax by one of our pools with a good book. Whatever you choose, on a Cunard Queen there’s space to enjoy your vacation in a way that’s perfect for you.

Wide open spaces

Grand Lobby

Guests receive our signature welcome when they enter the ship’s soaring Grand Lobby to the strains of live classical music and enjoy a glass of bubbles. This atmospheric space boasts breathtaking panoramic sea views and sets the scene for the start of a spectacular voyage with a sailing away party as the ship departs.

Queens Room

These glorious spaces are the hub of every Cunard ship. Vast and airy with a wonderful dancefloor, opulent décor and daily live music, here you can enjoy delicious Cunard Afternoon Tea during the day and show off your dance moves by night. 

Discover the Queens Room

Britannia Restaurant

Each of our Queens boasts the magnificent Britannia Restaurant, a stunning two-storey dining area that radiates grandeur. It's the perfect venue for indulging in a lavish dining experience in sumptuous surroundings.

Promenade Deck

If you’re looking to keep your step count up on board, head for the Promenade Deck on Queen Mary 2. Three laps around this deck is a distance of roughly one mile, making it an ideal place for both brisk morning jogs and sedate after dinner strolls. 

Royal Court Theatre

Our lavish Royal Court Theatre, found on each ship, features comfortable seating and state-of-the-art facilities, rivaling many of those found in the West End or Broadway. Enjoy a truly unforgettable evening of exceptional drama or sparkling musical or dance productions. Plus, on Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth, you can revel in an experience that's even more special with your own private theatre box.

Library

Our ships have some of the largest and most distinctive libraries at sea, meaning you’ll never be stuck for a good book to curl up with. Find yourself in Queen Victoria’s elegant two-storey library complete with spiral staircase. Or enjoy the picture windows and panoramic vistas of Queen Mary 2’s well-stocked library. Whichever Queen you sail on, there are few better places to unwind.

Event Voyages

Theatre. Food. Art. Literature. Fashion. Whatever you’re passionate about, there’s a Cunard Event Voyage for you. From Dance the Atlantic to the Literature Festival at Sea, our Event Voyages welcome special guests on board for workshops, panel talks, and performances you won’t find anywhere else.
